. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. so The American Florist, Aug. The Bowling Contest. The contest will takcplaccon the alleys of the Columbia Athletic Club, Seven- teenth and G streets, the afternoon of Fnday, August 19. The alleys are 60 feet from front pin to balk line, and 4-1'/2 inches wide. Balls of all sizes up to 27 inches in circumfer- ence; none larger than the last named size can be used. Three alleys will be used at one time by as many clubs, but each team will change alleys after idling one frame. For in- stance. No. 1 team starts on Xo. 1 alley, team two on No. 2 alley, and so on. After all the men of No. 1 team have rolled three balls each on No. 1 alley they will roll three balls each on No. 2 alley, then three balls each on No. 3 alley and so forth. No. 2 team starts on No. 2 alley at the same time, then from that to No. 3 alley,and from to Xo. 1 allev, and so on. No. 3 team starts simultane- ously on No. 3 alley, from that to No. 1, thence to Xo. 2 and back to No. 3, repeat- ing until the ten frames are rolled. It seems likely that there will be nine teams entered, and that the first game will decide the Gait cup contest, and the first pnd second combined the possession of the Spauldingcupforone year, and the second and third prizes for teams. This arrangement is suggested so that the prizes maj' be more thoroughly dis- tributed, as the winner of the Spaulding cup would otherwise be sure to secure more than one prize from the very fact of their being able to carry off that prize. The second prize, valued at about $40, is a handsome pitcher, cup and tray donated by Mr. S. Desio, jeweler, of F street, near Eleventh, and the third prize a handsome etching, nicely framed, valued at .$2.'">, the gift of Mr. J. ]. Forsvth, 120S F street X. W. We hope to secure one or more prizes for individual scores, and 1 have no doubt we shall be able to do so. Entries are already recorded from Pitts- burg, Chi
