We wish to call the attention of the authorities to the state of the bowling alleys in the gymnasium. On the upper floor, so many improvements have been made, and the air of neatness and newness is so noticeable, that we feel sure that they will carefully consider the complaint about the lower floor. In the first place, the pins are most of them wretched; they are old, worn, and battered, some so full of splinters as to be unpleasant to touch, and others so uneven as to make it impossible to stand them up. The balls are in insufficient quantity, there being few small ones, and those for the most part chipped or split. Add to this that the alleys are seldom lighted till five o'clock or after, that there is not a trace of a sponge in any of the cups provided for them, and that the chalk is fragmentary and scarce. These defects can be remedied at a trifling expense, and will greatly please all lovers of "the great freshman elective."
