New London _l;;n Think They Will! Show a Different Result This Time. Because of the sloseness of the re- | cent intercity club bowling tournament the Arcanum club of this city and the Elks’ club of New London have ar- ranged a sequel in a tournament of five games, sayvs the New London Day. _The tournament just concluded in- cluded the Arcinums, the Elks and | the New Mystic club of Mystic. The | Mystic bowlers .were not .in the run- ng with the Elks or Arcanumites, {'but the race between the latter teams | was very nearly a dead heat. By de- iteanlng the New Mystic at New Lon- | | don jast week, the Arcanume squeezed out winners of the tournamert by one pinfall the Elks | game, but on total | were ahead 58 pins. As the total pin- | fall was 24,000, the margin of but 58 shows just how evenly tha teams were | matched. There is much rivalry in a good natured ‘way between the Elks and the Arcanumiies and much argument as to which club has the call, bowling wise. The Arcanum club rlayers have never been defeated in a series.

How the Hens at Storrs Rank at End of the 19th Week—Connecticut Pen Second in Race. _T’he 19th week of the great interna- tional egg laving contest at showed a total of 2,168 eggs for the week, this being a daily average of a little cver 300 eggs. The daily record was badly broken last week The largest .number: of eggs laid in any one day was 297. They jumped to 338 fggs one day last week. A pen of Barred Plymouth Rocks owned by Reed & Lloyd of Hollidays- burg, Pa., saved the day last week when the ‘five - birds laid six eggs. There were no hens on when the hoyses were unlocked in the morning. Upon the first collectign at 8.30 a. m. hen No. 47 was in the nest with an egg. This egg was taken. At 11.30, when another collection was made, X 47 was on the nest again with an egg. Both eggs were oollected by the same person. To prove the statement all the other four birds in the pen laid during _the day, giving a total of six eggs from five hens. Smallest Egg from Groton. Not only does the English pen of Single Comb White Leghorns have the bomor of laying the smallest egg in the contest, but a Connecticut Single Comb White Leghorn-owned by Brand- ford -Farms of Groton laid an egg that weighed exactly the same as the one | lald by the English hen, 3-100 of a pound. This egg had a perfect shell and was nearly round, about the size of & marble. 4. pen of Dark Cornish Indian Games owned by John W, Ward, Jr., of Pen- nirgton. N.
