TEN PIN ALLEY – There is not a ten pin alley in this city, and to provide a place of amusement for those who delight in the healthy exercise Wagner & Weber are now fitting up, in connection with their saloon, a set of alleys, four in number, in the basement formerly used for that purpose. The premises have been thoroughly refitted, the floor lowered, walls replastered, and the alleys laid with the best maple timber smooth and even. The place has an entirely different appearance, and in a week or so, when finished, will vie with any in the west, as the proprietors are sparing neither money or means to have a first class bowling saloon.
