BOWLING Boston Pin Tournament Opens November 6 The Bowling Committee wishes to announce that the Boston Pin Tournament will start Tuesday night, November 6, at 8 o'clock. The rules governing the matches will be printed on the back of the schedules. The change from a monthly to a weekly prize of a box of cigars for the three best consecutive strings meets with decided approval and has aroused keen competition among the members who enjoy bowling. The prize for the week ending October 20 was won by Mr. Thomas M. Womersley on a pinfall of 344. ART AND LIBRARY Mr. Vinton's Paintings The Club has been very fortunate in having upon its walls some of the finest examples of the work of the late Frederick P. Vinton. It may interest members to know that these paintings are lent to the Club and may be purchased either for private ownership, or for presentation to the Club by any member interested in adding permanently to the beauty of the rooms. The Committee acknowledges donation, from Prof. C. Frank Allen, of his new book, "Business Law for Engineers." Spencer J. Steinmetz has donated three volumes more to the Library.

These cigars may be withdrawn as desired, so that members may keep actually on hand — at home or office - only enough for current needs, and their reserve stock will be cared for by the Club under conditions best calculated to maintain flavor and good condition. Delivery will be made by express, messenger or mail, as desired, at a small extra charge. The regular stock of cigars offers a large variety (the list is given herewith), but any brand not usually carried will be ordered if members who desire to avail themselves of the above-mentioned service will communicate with the cigar clerk. Members who do not find it convenient to order in person may use the attached coupon. Prices of Cigars, Cigarettes and Tobaccos, subject to change, |
