    1. 1889 Circleville Bowling Alley
    2. SEYFERT, BENDING, WEGERLY Circleville Democrat and Watchman Nov. 11, 1889 Carpenters who have been employed by Max SEYFERT, the past month, building two bowling alleys in the basement of the WEGERLY block, recently purchased by him, completed their work last week, and there was a grand opening, friday evening, and the place was crowded, and has been largely patronized ever since. The alleys are 70 feet long, wide, and as smooth as glass. The balls, at a cost of $100, are the finest in the State, made of ligerm wood, as smooth as billiard balls, weighing from one to fifteen pounds. The place in charge of Capt. H.R. BENDING, who thoroughly understands the business. While Mr. SEYFERT's place of amusement is in the basement, it is, to say the least, an inviting and comfortable place, no business room in this city presents a finer appearance. It is the only place of amusement in our city where no intoxicating drinks are sold. No small boys are admitted, unless accompanied by their father. (No further info.) Cathy
