Elk lodges in the eastern part of the United States are going to participate in the bowling turnament of the At- lantic Coast Bowling Association, to “be held in Washington, D. C., starting April 3d, in such numbers as to make “Elks' Night” one grand occasion. This fact became established this week as answers started coming in to the invitation extended by the local lodge of Elks to their eastern brothers. Revere Lodge of Elks, Revere, Mass., was the first to announce their intel:l- tion of entering a team in the l}lg bowling classic to be held in the Na- tional Capital. The Elks of quok- iyn, N. Y., who have not only decided to put in a number of teams, but have asked for a date, were others to line up for the event, and before the week is up it is expected that lodges up and down the Atlantic seaboard will have asked for accommodations in the af- fair. NORWICH RIFLE CLUB. Work on the 75-foot ranges is pro- gressing rapidly and should be com- pleted by Saturday night, so that the members will have ample time for practise for their coming match with he Meriden Rifle Club on March 7th. The match will start promptly at 0 and the results will be known by 0 o'clock if the local club is through shooting. The match is to be §'hot by proxy under the rules of the National Rifle Association. i\ As this is the finst outside match in which the club has participated in the club members are eager to win, and a lively interest is being shown. The Meriden Club is one of the old- est clubs in the state, and has mem- bers that hold state records in both outdoor and indoor shoting, and the coming match should bring about friendly relations with the Meriden club in the promotion of rifle shoot- ing, both scientifically and as a sport.

At 3.40 the evidence in rebuttal was concluded and here the state and de- fense rested. Attorney Roche immediately com- menced his argument for the defence, and bore strongly on the lack of di- rect evidence against the accused and the flimsy nature of circumstantial evidenc He argued that the story of Mellow was absolutely true, that the state had failed to change the story in any essential particular. At 4.30, Assistant District Attorney Branch commenced his argument for the state, and stated he would only ask for a fair verdict. one which the evidence shows and for the jury to do what right in the enforcement of the law. The question is has Mel- low proven that he actually killed Willam Rhodes in self-defense? If satisfied that he has, the attorney ad- vised verdict of not guilty: but if not convinced, he did not want the jurors to be chicken-hearted and fail to do their duty. Mr. Branch then commenced the dis- section of the story told by Mellow, and was in the midst of it when court adjourned at 4.50 until 9.30 Saturday morning. Local Laconics.
