A WONDELFUL SCORE.

Chester Zea Beats All Bowling Records In a Series of Three Games. Chester Zea, manager of the Strickfadden bowling alleys, and one of the best bowlers in the state, made a record yesterday afternoon in a series of three games that has been seldom equaled. Zea was rolling a match with F. Churchiil and in the first game he made a score of 256 pins. The second game he made 346 pins and in the third 248. An average for the three games of 250 pins. This is supposed to be the beet record ever made in the state and Chess feels very proud of it. Previous to his record made yesterday Zea held high average of 238 pins for four successive games. If these high scores continue to be made, Rensselaer bowlers wil soon have the reputation of making some of the best records in the country.
