The Lefferts Park Baptist Ohurch was recognized last night by the other Baptist churches of Brooklyn and Long Island to be a free and Independent church. A meeting of ttie Baptist Council was held In the Temple' Church on Ovtogton and Fifteenth avenues, Lefferts Park, and delegates from many churches were present.

Dr. Hull then gave a short history of the Lefferts Park Churcfa, which, he said, was organized on April 22, 1896, by a few Baptists living in the neighborhood and some of whom were at the time members of the Greenwood Heights Church. The late Joseph Wild of Bay Rldgo, he said, aided the little band of workers very materially financially and finally donated $2,250 for the purchase of a suitable site for the erection of a house of worsCiip.

The site was purchased recently on Fourteenth avenue, between Bay Ridge and Ovington avenues, and a building fund has been started. Pastor McQulllin supplemented Dr. Hull's remarks by saying that since its organization the ohurdh has grown steadily and has a bright future before it. The small handful of organizers have succeeded in increasing the membership and the average attendance is now about sixty. The Sunday schoal attendance averages eighty.

The neighborhood, Mr. McQulllin pointed out, Is growing rapidly and he considered it would be well for the Baptist Society to establish itself in the vicinity. William A.

The famous white deer so well known to all hunters was seen by William Navoric and John Sebeck near Bohemia during the afternoon. Both shot at it, but the animal dashed away as if unhurt and escaped in the woods. Fully fifty special Watchmen were employed by the South Side Club, William K. Vanderbllt and other owners of private estates to see that no deer were shot on their premises, andd all dogs that crossed the lines after deer were Captured at once and kept in confinement until the day's hunting was over.

Some of the best hhooting of the day was found in the woods near Lake Ronkonkorna, which during previous years has been considered out of the line for deer, and but few hunters sought the game in that locality. As if to escape being hunted, many deer hid themselves in that section and eight were killed by a party of New York and Lakeland hunters. In the woods two miles north of Bohemia village two deer hunters whose names could not be learned had a narrow escape from being killed. The men were lying in the thick underbrush and, hearing a deer running through the woods, started on a run in the direction of the noise. A hunter named Gregory of Patchogue, who was looking sharp for a shot, seeing the bushes move and thinking it was a deer, discharged his sun in that direction.

Both men received part of the charse in their legs and bodies. They refused to give their names and they were taken in a wagon to Stony Brook for medical aid. The following hunters from this place were among the many who killed deer: Chap Rhodes, two deer; William Rogers, one; William Rhodes, one; William Collins, two; John Wells, one; Ned Brown, one; William Rudolph, one; Jctin Westorbeck. one; Jce Adams, one; L. L.

Cook of Newell street, Brooklyn, one; Charles Sebeck, one. Francis Hcag, made the crack shot of the day, killing a large buck while at full speed through the words over fifteen rods from where he was ttandlng. Poor Luck: About Islip. Islip, L. November 11 The deer shooting was very poor yesterday, the heavy winds of the previous night deterring the deer from crossing the fire line.

It is very doubtful if over ten were killed hereabouts. Forrest G. Haff and Captain H. Clayton Haff were among the first to get one, a nice, large doe. Matthew Snow of East Islip also got a large doe.

Milton Hawkins and a party of New York gunners got a buck and a doe. Deglan Foley got a doe. The party from the JcCmson tiouse. who g.U six last week, were unalble to bring any deer down and the Bohemian Sportsmen's Club shared the same fate. The sport was marred by a quarrel between two hunters which ended in both being shot.

The men were John Wohlfarth of Central Islip and an unknown man from Jamaica. Both claimed to have killed a deer and a hot altercation ensued. Wohlfarth stood upon the body of the animal and said that anyone who attempted to take his property would get hurt. He was told repeatedly to get off and finally the Jamaica man raised his guns and fired at his leg3. Wohlfarth fell severely wounded.

Later on the man from Jamaica was shot in the mouth. Patchoguers Secure Some Venison. Patchogue, L. November 11 The free lands, northwest of this place, were, for second time, scoured yesterday for deer by the rabble of hunters, who came from all Island villages and scmo of those in Nw York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Throughput, the day the shcotlng was incessant and those engaged in the hunt were held in momentary suspense of being hit by ihe buck shot that flew through thu wo ds in every direction.

It was only ronstant dodging and screening behind yes that they escaped being hurt. It Is predicted, however, that before the season closes, cn the 21th, that some fatality will havo occurred. During the twenty four hours of ieal shoo about thirty deer were shot, the slicing being carried cn before daylight and un down last night by moonlight. Four deer were shot yesterday rning before dawn. The farmers, at least a large portion of them, welcome the opening of the deer shoot.

ng season, as they then see an opportunity f. killing off the animals that, during the close season, worked such damage on their Vegetables. A great n)3ny people throughout the island regret the slaughter of such gentle animals and are anxious that their shooting ehould be forbidden. It is believed tha: when the season closes about as many deer as were shot last ynir will have been killed. The lucky Patchogue hunters were Samuel Boddy, Robert Bishop.

Ben Robinson, James Douglass and John Gregory, who got one deer apiece. It was reported last night by the late returning hunters that three men had been shot near Oakdale during the day. Two Long Island men, it was said, had been shot in the legs, but not seriously. One New York gunner, it was reported, hid been shot In the breast by a Io.tc of buck i shot, but his thick clothing prevented the Shot from more than scratching the skin.

November 11 As the first streaks of dawn appeared Inrt'o I groups of hunters were seeen making their i way for the woods where the wily deer abound. i Many went, but few were successful. Among the latter were George A. Wood of Setaukt. I who shot the prisco deer of the season so far in a 7 year old buck with a noble bush of ant i lers.

Walter Sherry and Eugene Wells of Stony Brook. Samuel Dare of Selden and George of Ronkonkoma got a young pne each and the brothers. William nnd Robert I O'Berry, of St. James brought down two. Many sportsmen gave t.hp day to bugging quail and rabbits and were successful, as both are very plentiful.

The sportsmen In this place seem to succeed better in quail hunting. Quail are said to be plentiful. The season for wild duck shooting is also open and many are shot off Nissequogue Harbor. How Some Sportsmen Fill Their Bags. East Moriches, L.

November 11 The shooting on the East Bay has improved very much since the rough weather set in. Good bags are 'the rule, not the exception, now. There are as many broadbill and more redhead than Is usual at this season of the year. There are also a few canvasback. Black duck and pintail are scarce.

Very few geese have yet arrived. For years the "booby," as it is called here, has been very plenty, but was, until within two or three years, considered almost worthless. Now 'there are no boobies, but the same duck is still plenty and mlakes good shooting from batteries, but will not stool at the points much. The old name booby Is gone and it Is now called the ruddy duck or silver breast and under these names It stands next below the readhead, for the table and in the markets, and far above the common blackheads, broadbill and its kindred kinds. There are some sportsmen, save the mark, who might hit the broad side of a barn if they could rest their gun, but cannot take a duck on the wing.

Two of this class from Brooklyn were in an adjoining village to East Moriches last week and big bags were reported to have been made by them. Is it cruelty for the Eagle to tell the truth? Here it is, anyhow: Each evening on their return to the hotel, they dispatched a man through this village to buy all the game that local gunners had for sale to help swell their bags. If their Brooklyn friends love a champagne supper i't would be a good time to strike them. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORE RS. Fifteenth Annual Convention of the Queens County Union Held in Flushing.
