The last game of the intarcity series of tenpins between the bowling teams of the Coiumbia Athletic Club and the Baltimore Catholic Club were rolled on the alleys of the ©. A. C. Saturday =vening. The result was a clean sweep for the Catholic Club bowlers, Columbia putting up the lowest series of totals made by them on thelr own alleys this season, and being entirely un- able to cop> with the strorg playing of the Baltimoreans. To be sure Columbia played to more than their share of splits, and seme of their men were unfortunately not able to bunch taeir strike and spare work, but the spl2ndid work ‘of the visitors is in no way to be underestimated, as their good totals, especially in the second and third games, stands fer itself. Both sides made a number of brilliant spares, Columbia, on account of their numerous splits, having great2r opportunities for this. Rodier clearly had an off night, and playing way below his capability, somewhat hampered his side, although it 1s not to be stated that his work alone helped the Catholic Club to its successive victories. On the other hand, Walker bowl2d in splendid form, ard would have continued his great work in the final game if his breaks had left any possibility of sparing. His score of 196 in the opening game stands Fighest for single games on either side, al- though his second game, 195, was tied by Wheeler cf the Catholic Club. Columbia bowled 89 pins in the opening frame of the first game to 73 by Baltimore, but wer2 overtaken in the next inning, and were not able to again take the lead, though the game was close to the siatn inning. Baltimore won by 90 pins. "Phe score follo’ Columbia Athletic Club. Baltimore Catholic Club. St. Sp. Sc. St. Sp. Se. Mawon.

A. R. CONGRESS ar) Annual Session of the Society Opens in This City Today. - MRS. ADLAI STEVENSON PRESIDING Program of Exercises at Each’ of Daily Sessions. YOUNG LADIES AS USHERS All the arrangements for the coming con- gress of the Deughters of the American Revolution were completed Saturday, and the session opened today with tHe president general, Mrs. Adlai Stevercon, in the chair, If reports are true there will be some lively ‘sessions of the “fighting Daughters.” They know as well as did their fathers exactly what they want, and they never submit anything to arbitration. The organization known as the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, which is distinct and separate from the Daughters of the Revolution, is now in its seventh year. It began with a membership of elghteen—a fact that has never been stated in. public print up to this time—and_ now has a paid-up membership of 23,000. There are chapters in forty-five states, one in Paris, chapters in Naples, Samoa and Ha- Mra. Adlai E. Stevenson. wali. In Honolulu there are several mem- bers who are the descendants of mission- aries with revolutionary blood in their veins, who carried with them to those is- lands in the Pacific the story of the cross and old glory. It has been said that the Daughters have aristocratic tendencies, and that they are banded together to found an upper stratum of society, so to speak, but those most interested indignant- ly deny any such assertion. “We have a purpose in life and a vigor- ous work to do,” said one of the prominent members of the order recently. “While we have not the slightest doubt in the world that our ancestors, men and women, would have graced_a lady’s drawing room as well as a battlefield or flirted a fan with the same charm that they tore up their petti- coats to make gun wadding, yet it is not these characteristics that we are striving to preserve. Patriotism Declining. “We do not need to tell that within our memories there are evidences of a decline of patriotism. Too much business, too much merrymaking, too great an influx of foreign blood, was rapidly aiding the people to forgetfulness and indifference to the fundamental principles which are the foundation of the republic. Through our organization and its environments, we ex- pect to fil the minds of our boys and girls so full of patriotism that the emblematic pillar on the Jordan will again cast its shadow over our land and from its cap- stone will float forever the flag we love. “We will mark and protect historic spots. We will see to it that neglected and for- gotten documents and relics are brought to light and preserved. We will encourage historical research. Garrets and closets shall yield up their hidden treasure of un- written history. We will carry out Wash- ington’s injunction to ‘promote institutions for the promotion of knowledge.’ ‘As evidence of good faith, the Daughters recite that they have projected a Continen- tal Hall in Washington for a depository of archives and relics, and have a large sum already in the bank toward carrying oui the project, which was in the first instance sugegested by Mrs. Harrison, first president general of the order. In the states the Daughters have reclaimed from neglect the forgotten graves of hundreds of revolution- ery soldiers, have marked them, and on Memorial day they honor them with appro- priate ceremonies. Historical days are celebrated in such way as to make them memorable to the rising generations. Many chapters have offered prizes to the students of universities, colleges and schools for his- torical essays. The chapters are doing good work, it is said, in this direction. The New York chapter, one of the larg- est in the national organization, and which will push the claims of its regent, Mrs. Donald McLain, for the highest office in the order, has endowed a chair of Amer- ican history in Barnard College, and a com- Mrs. A. G. Brackett. petitive scholarship open to the members of the New York city chapter. The suc- cessful competitor is entitled to pursue for two years the highest course in American history, and to receive from the chapter $250 each year. The Daughters cf Pennsylvania have hast placed in their keeping by the proper au- tnorities the banqueting room in old Inde- | pendence Hall, which they have restored, and which stands today as it did when old Uberty bell rang out the good tidings of in- dependence. They have also preserved old Block House in Pittsburg, the site of old Fort Duquesne, which they now own. Historic Jamestown. The Daughters of old Virginia are going to protect the land from the waters where the first colony settled in Virginia, James- town, and there are many historic spots which they hope to become possessors of. In the congrees now in session all these matters will be discussed, as well as ways and means of acquiring such revolutionary rty as may have passed out of the familles of original ‘The programs of the congress are white.

The first American congress of the Wo- man’s Whist League will meet in Horticul- tural Hall, at Philadelphia, April 26, 27 and 28. The league was organized during the meeting held at Hotel Walton during the past summer and includes within its mem- bership some of the society leaders of the lergest cities in the United States. Over fifty clubs have been already enrolled and these represent an extended territory, reaching from coast to coast and from Ore- gon to the Gulf of Mexico. The congress will be opened by a dinner to the board of governors, tendered by Mrs. Andrews, at her home, 1129 Spruce street, at 8 o’clock, on the evening of April 25. The two prizes over which the greatest rivalry exists are the Philadelphia cup and the Washington trophy. The Philadelphia cup was won for the Cavendish Club of Boston last summer by Mrs. Richardson and Mrs. Bradt, and these ladies will defend the prize for their club ax the coming meeting. The Washington trophy was won by Mrs. Eugene Ellison, Mrs. H. Touluim, Mrs. Frank Daniel and Mrs. Rodman Wister for the Philadelphia Whist Club. A. Harvey McCoy and Miss Goldsbor- cugh, representing the Baltimore Whist Club, won the prize for mixed doubles, and this club will send twenty mixed pairs to the coming congress to defend the honor. The open fours were won by Mrs. Clarence Brown and Mrs. Bond Llyod of Toledo and Mrs. Lucian Swift and a partner of Min- neapolis. The Emma D. Andrews Ciub of Camden won the Heath prize and four individual souvenirs. All of these prizes will be se- verely contested, and there is no doubt that the greatest interest will be main- tained throughout the whole of the session. A feature of the meeting will be a team and a pair from the New York Ladies’ Whist Club. The rules governing the various contests are best stated in a resolution, passed by the executive board at a meeting, held No- vember 12 lest, and which reads as follows, ia part: “That the contest for club teame of four and club pairs shall each be a three days’ contest, played simultanecusly on the after- roons of Tuerday, Wednesday and Thurs- day, the finals to be played off on the morn- ing of Friday, April 29. “The winning club four to hold for one year the Washington trophy, now in pos- session of the Trist Whist Club of Philadel- hia. “Tne winr'ng club pair to hold for one year the Philadelphia cup, now in posses- ston of the Cavendish Club of Boston. “That open contests for both teams and pairs be held all three days of the congress, and mixed double teams and pair contests in the evenings. “All entries for these contests must be sent to the president, Mrs. T. H. Andrews, 1120 Spruce street, Philadelphia, at least one week before the opening of the con-" gress. Delegates presenting themselves for play at the congress must bring credentials from their club, signed by the president and secretary of the club.” A GREAT WRESTLER ARRIVES.

Yousouf, his agent, Antonio Pierre, and his backer, Monsieur Doublier of Parts, have come to America to conquer Amer- ican wrestlers. Youscuf is the Alexander, the Napoleon of the wrestling world, and sighs for new worlds to conquer. He has never been thrown. All Turkish wrestlers have met him and heve gone down, often with broken legs or sprained backs. These victories pleased the sultan, Abdul Hamid II, and he appointed Y if court wrestler aud showered favers upon him. Yeusouf’s fame grew until no wrestler would meet him.

The sultan relented and signed his pet’s passport, and the mighty. man of muscle went to Paris. His stay there was short, but it was long erdugh for the French champions to be overthrown.
