At the regular meeting of the bowling club on Monday evening a cup was selected to be competed for at the contest in August, although the conditions have not as yet been fully decided upon. So far very few teams have signified a desire to compete and it is hoped that all able to do so will come prepared to bowl. Information regarding the proposed con- test can be had by writing the secretary, Mr. Chas. Young, 140G Olive street. The exhibition committee have during the past week closed with the Exposition managers for the use of the (Irand Music Hall for the chrysanthemum show, upon very favorable terms. Within twenty- four hours of the closing a representative of an opera troupe appeared upon the scene asking for the same dates at an increased figure. He was referred to the chairman of the committee, who after seeing the lay of the land called his col- leagues together and they came to the conclusion that if the opera company were willing to pay for the dates they could have them, the club taking the succeeding week. The sum asked for making the change of dates is $400. As yet the answer has not been returned, but is expected shortly. It is to be hoped the change will be made, as the weather at that time of the year is as liable to be pleasant the latter as well as the former part of the month, and the plants can be had in just as good shape as a week earlier.
