Among the features of the evening were dancing, music and recitations. The Misses Flanley and Long furnished a brilliant selection of classic and popular music. Mr. William Tier ney and Master James Long amused the company with several humorous recitations. Mr.

John T. White rendered several vocal selections and received many encores. At midnight the guests, led by Captain Jacob Heath and Miss Mamie Long, repaired to the diningroom, where a bountiful collation was served. Among the gay assemblage were Dr. Keyes, Miss Katie Kelly, for a French congregation, but thero aro not enough of that nativity to make any showing in the district.

Tho Rev. Jules Jollon, tiic pastor, is a native of Bolley, France, and was a friend of the celebrated Cure d'Aars. He was ordained in his native landin 1801, and came to Brooklyn in February, 1800. Ho celebrated his sacerdotal jubilee by making a voyage around the world by way of San FranciBco, Japan and the Holy Land. The venerable Patriarch of Jerusalem mado him a Knight of the Sepnlchcr.

Ho is the correspondent in this country of the Patriarch of Jerusalem and of the famoiiB churchman, Cardinal La vigerie. In 1 88G Father Jollon was made missionary apostolic by tho Pope; Avalcares, or arch priest, by the Patriarch of Constantinople; Officer d'Academio by the French Government, and received from the Bey of Tunis, through his Eminence, Cardinal Lavigorie, the cross of a Com mandeur du Nicham.

Recep Notes on Some or the Pictures Sbown by the Club. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: The present free exhibition of tho Rembrandt Club, at the Art Association building, affords the people of Brooklyn a rare opportunity of becoming acquainted with tho masters of painting now recognized by the world of art as the greatest of tho century. Millot, Corot, Daubigny, Jules Breton, Delacroix, Jules Dupre, Knauss, Jacque are represented by important and thoroughly representative examples. Other great artists, yet inferior to those already named, who aro hero well represented aro Van Marcke, Miohel, Bougucreau, De Neuville, Meyer von Bremen, Henner, ltico, Vibert, Monticelli, Cazin, Schreyer, Vollon, Aniberg, Cabanel, Merle, Bastien Lepage, Clays, Jacquet, Charnay and others. Amarlcan art 1b exhibited in works by Wyant, David Johnson, Quartley, Bridgman, Brown, Gny, H.

P. Smith. Richards, Ridgway Knight, Von Boskerck, Chase, Wiggins, E. Moran, Satterleo and by a dozen drawings in charcoal by J. G.

Fisher of remarkable artistic excellence. Perhaps the greatest picture of the collodion is the Millet (No. 84), representing tho bringing in on a litter of a now born calf. Nothing could bo simpler in design or in manner of execution, yet how it expands and palpitateB with tho feeling put into it by the artist. It Beems to have added charm every time one returns to it.

It is said to have been tho study for the larger and more finished picture sold in tho Frobasco sale, hut to our miid it is superior to that in feeling and quality of color. This picture wall illustrates Millet's principle, quoted by W3'att Eaton in tho May number of tho Century magazine, that in painting the idea should be wrought out with largeness and simplicity." The two large pictures by Jules Breton at tho end'of the gallery (Nos. 1 and 82) were in the Paris Salon two years ago. They aro very important works by one of the greatest living masters, and it is rema: kable that K.th found their way to Brooklyn. Commercially, they are perhaps tho most valuable in tho exhibition, being worth at least each.

In one the afternoon sun BtreauiB toward you across the fields in a wonderful way. You marvel at once at the difficulty and success of the artist's work. In the other picture, tho sun has gone down, and the picturesque peasant ligureB appear in the soft light, leaving a very pleasing, Tctful and harmonious impression '3pon the mind. In color and tone these pictures are not great. There is tentiment, enjoyable, yet not the highest or best in art, in both, but moro particularly in the twilight picture; and of both it may be Baid that tho pose of the figures is a trifle obtrusive.

Thero is still another example of JuleB Breton (No. 4), much smaller, containing but a single figure, but stronger, and possibly of better quality than the larger pictures. Tho great Troyon, unequaled as a painter of landscape with cattle, is represented by two very different pictures, No. I and No. 08.

The firBt is the large picture from the Probasco sale, "An Approaching Storm," and a noblo nxamplo of tho master, containing rolling masses of dark clouds with sunlight breaking through very naturally and having the stir and movement that precede a storm. A laree cow in tho foreground moves as if to avoid the tempest, and in drawing and action tho animal is in Troyon's best manner. The fignroB in the middle distance are beautifully painted, there is life and movement throughout the picture and altogether it is a very good, if not one of the beBt, Troyons in the country. The other Troyon in the exhibition is a small forest scene, with huge sections of logs on the ground. It is little more than a etch, roughly painted, but very strong and rich in color, and executed in a free, vigorous, masterly manner.

The three large Corots are an important feature of the exhibition. "L'Efl'ct du Soir" (No. 2.5) is only a sketch of very large size, but in tho grand and yet simple manner of a great master. It seems to have been painted from nature and as if the artist had tried to get upon canvas the evening effect before it had passed away, and then had refrained from elaborating it lost he should lose the inspiration. No.

sr, shows the master in a manner strikingly different, yet more characteristic. In this the beautiful, delicate, silvery effects and the charming aerial perspective, of Corot are. well shown. No. "The River between the other two in manner of treatment, having neither tho sweep and force of the one nor the delicate, silvery brightness of the other, yet happily combining both.

The subject is very pleasing, the sky, water, trees forming a beautiful composition, and bathed in a gray, yet brilliant atmosphere. None of the great French landscape painters has gained more in public appreciation than has Daubigny during the ten years that have elapsed since his death. The commercial value of his works has at least trebled during that time. There are three of his pictures in the Rembrandt exhibition and is rare to find together three examples so excellent. The largest (No.

2) is unusually strong and rich in color, even for Daubigny. No painter has such delicious greens as this master mid iie seems to have reveled in them in painting this picture. It has been said that Corot is the painter of morning and Daubigny of evening. The cool air of morning is in this picture, however, as it is in No. which is much smaller and simpler in composition, but of delightful quality.

In No. 52 we have an evening subject by Daubigny, painted in a free manner, yet with careful attention to detail, and full of the poetry of evening. Fromentin, whose works are now rare and difficult to obtain, is represented by two large and important pictures, both depicting Eastern scenes, as usual. No. 87 is painted in a crisp, vigorous manner, very stiong and bright in color, a beautiful clear blue in the sky, against which the buildings are sharply outlined.

The other Fromentin (No. rr) has a wonderful sky and a fine atmospheric quality; clouds roll across through blue space, while shepherds and their horses are picturesquely grouped in the rich, brown foreground. Both of these pictures are very fine works of art and niiUBually good examples of Fromentin. There is to be seen in this collection a powerful Delacroix, painted as few men who have ever lived could paint, exceedingly strong in color and wonderful in action. There are two large and very fine Michels, with broad, sweeping cloud and atmospheric effects.

There are two fino Viberts, containing humor, fino color and drawing, painted with great attention to detail, but hard and unimaginative. The two Jacques arc really remarkable examples. It would be difficult to fiud better ones. In tone and color they aro excellent and full of fine artistic feeling. Brooklyn, May 8, 1880.

Art Loykr A MOUNTED TROOP FOR BROOKLYN. The lYevrest Plan to Kiilint Swell ITIcn in the National Guard. A very attractive scheme to enlist the inter est and servieeB of the very swell young gentlemen of the Heights and the Hill in National Guard work is being bruited about among the scions of wealthy families in the sections mentioned. Advantage has been taken by the promoters of the enterprise of the prodigious interest awakened in military affairs anent the recent big demonstrations in New York to set their little plans afloat and considerable reliauco is also placed upon the fad of horseback riding, which now obtains so largely in Bociety circles, for the success of the new project. The proposition, as somewhat vaguely enunciated to an Eaolk reporter last night by a prominent young society gentleman and horseback riding fiend of the Hill, is to organize a mounted troop which shall bo connected with the National Guard of Brooklyn.

Tho organization is to be modeled after that of the First Troop of Cleveland, 0., which is a very swell and representative body of society men in the Forest City. Tho First Troop has the features of organization of a National Guard command and owns commodious and elegant quarters, which answer the purpose at once of an armory and a riding school. The services of a special instructor in riding are obtained and competent officers look after the work, drilling tho members in military maneuvers. "That is just what we waut hero in Brooklyn," said the Eaolk'h informant. "There are scores of young fellows who would like nothing better than to serve the State in that, way, but who at the Bamo timo do not relish the idea of connection with tho infantry regiments, bocause they do not care to be held down to the humdrum aud routino of armory drills and reviews, and who again aro desirous of pickiug their associates to a greater extent than is possible in an ordinary company." Just what the provisions of military law were under which such a troop could bo organized aud mustered in the State servico tho young gentleman did not state, but ho was vory sanguine that the thing would go through.

In the Annual Birth Time Vegetation. of Flowers, Trees nnd Plants to he Seen Soar the Union Street Entrance, by Lake Narcisse, Along the East and Other Paths, and in the Gardens. Entor on the left hand aide of the plaza at Union street, pausing just long enough to sniff the perfume of tho big honeysuckle bush at the gate, and walk straight ahead to the left of the tunnel, around the short corner of a bank, over which unprincipled pedestrians have worn a path in their anxiety to save six footsteps, and there will bs seen a long curving path with firs and pines, and shade trees on either side of it, sloping down to an open graveled space. This used to be the children playground, but is now deserted. Tho little wilderness seems to be hemmed in with shrubs and grassy embankments, but sharp eyes will Beo a slight opening and a glimpse of broad stone stepB on the other side.

Crossing over, the explorer will find himself in a terraced aisle skirtedwith low shrubs and overshadowed withtall trees, which will lead him down to Lake Narcisso. Nature never gavo birth to this semi stagnant little pool, with its artificial peninsular, its curb stone and its patent inlet, hut in spite of man's eccontricities the place is charming, for its miniature landscape is rich in foliage and in color. To get the full effect it would pay one to take a Jericho tramp and walk around it seven times. That scum on the water consists of myriad little diatoms and forms a part of tho family of the fresh water algie. Those long, graceful ferns juBt uncurling themselves from their Winter's Bleep are the sterile fronds of the flowering ferns.

By Decoration day there will be standing in tho of them a few stiff Btalks bearing strange wooly spikes of a cinnamon brown color, any one of which contains in its contracted 2itile seed caBes enough fern seeds to make the whole population of Brooklyn invisible. Here and there, half in the water and half out, are the big cool green leaves of the skunk cab bage, while near them clearing their way through the water are tho spear pointed leaves of tho arrow head. Those broad green blades standing in disordered files are the leaves of the poet's narcissus from which the pool takes its name, but no matter how carefully botanlBtswatch the growing buds, or how strictly policemen guard them when they are ready to burst out into starry beauty, there comes a morning when they are non sunt, having beeu pilfered by some unprincipled flower lover. To tho left of the lake ands a tall spruce with millions of little shining green needles. Step closely and notice that over each tiny pale, green sprout on tho end of every twig is a neat little cap that has protected the young shoot through the Winter.

Tho green lips are now ready to go bareheaded and are tossing their caps to the ground. They will just lit over a lady's thimble finger and are as fine and delicate as a humble bee's wing. After passing the spruce and iron wood tree, which is dropping slender catkins among its bursting leaveB, there is a view of the first rhododendron. On a jutting point of land, bordered and carpeted with the mottled brown leaves of the adder tongue, blossom the luxuriant white flowers of this species. Ou the other side of the water, near a deep red variety of the magnolia, grows a wild sprayed Judas tree, with its purple pink blossoms.

All know the f.tory of its name, how the flowers were once pure white and when Spring came clung close to the bare brown brancheB making them as white as a maiden's arms, but after the Saviour was betrayed Judas hung himself' to that tree, and over since, each Spring the blood stained (lowers proclaim his guilt. Near tho magnolias on the very edge of the water grows a willow with little fuzzy catkins: the pollen ciings to tho tiny feathery stamens and waits for the wind to carry it to another willow at the other end of the pool which has fertile catkins depending on the pollen from the first tree for their growth. Three pairs of willows seldom grow very close together, possibly that is why broken hearted lovers wear the branches as a sign of hopeless love which has only the wind for a messenger to the far away one. Leaving the lake, continue the walk on the left and there will be seen here and there great clouds of white blossoms on the flowering dogwood. Its botanical name, eornus, comes from the Latin word meaning horn, and it is so called from the hardness of its gray ribbed wood, when the chlo lophyl is turned red.

When it blooms wild in rocky woods, the country folk say that it is time to plant the Indian corn, but in cities its blossoms tell the artistic maiden that it is time to take hereampstool and brushes and a new tube of flake white and paint them on panels and pin cushions and screens and umbrella stands, and calendars and blotting pads ami every place where Bhe did not paint them last year. Tho four broad petals have really nothing to do with the flower, they are only the Winter wrappings which most flowera cast away at once, but which the dogwood keeps to set off its cluster of very insignificant little yellow blossoms in the center. The artistic pinching at the ends of the white envelopes have gone through the same experience as do the leaves in Autumn. All along the paths grow shrubs of a variety of pirea that has come from Japan. It has dazzling white flowers like wee roses about one third of an inch broad, crowded up and down its branches, making them look as though frosted for a wedding.

Some call it bridal wreath, a not inappropriate name. Walking toward the flower gardens, one sees on the right, opposite flic duck pond, a deep hollow known as Dead Man's Gulch. Drooping trees grow from Ihe overhanging banks, and the celandine springs up with its rank orange flowers, and bloody juice, a weed that never grows anywhere but in deserted places. In Midsummer the place is a hot tangle of briars and tall weeds, and is haunted by nothing more formidable than mosquitoes. There is no shocking origin for the iiiime, other than its wild appearance, but it might be serviceable if it would frighten away the small boy, a guilty looking specimen of which may be seen at almost any hour of tho day stealing violets from the slopes of the gully.

After recrossiug the road and following a little further the east path, one comes to the ducks' lake. A bridge crosses a muddy brook before reaching the overhanging Summer house. Just on this side of the brook grows a tall sassafras tree, decked with numerous bouquets of pale yellow flowers. A nibble at a twig, if one could be reached, would prove a spicy refreshment, but unfortunately they grow beyond arm's length, and moreover the park laws forbid the chewing up of its ornamental trees. Between this lake and the boathouse an observant person would notice on the right hand side a tree whose bark is covered with genuine wmcn maites it iook like an unkempt vagabond.

Under the forest trees, oaks, beeches, maples, birches and elms, which grow naturally in that spot, there is a wild woods garden in which numbers of jacks in the pulpit are preaching their silent sermons under their striped brown canopies. But tho most beautiful thing of the Spring is the Japan quince, which may be seen in profusion by following the path to the left hand side of the boat house lake. It is the first rich color of the Spring, and comes with brilliant scarlet flowers with a drop of gold in the center of each cup. On enteriug the flower gardens an immense bed of pansies greets the passers by. Pansies of every shade of every color and which promise to bloom all Summer long, till thoy are tucked up in their hot house beds.

The shade trees in these gardenB are the finest specimens of any in the park. Most of them are labeled, so that they may studied with ease. Any one going there during the next ten davs must look diligently for the accr pseudo platanus, and the acer polymorphum. The first has leaves with three large lobes and two very little ones, and tho flowers look exactly like a beautiful piece of green mignonette hanging head downward from the branches. It may be seen anywhere in front of dwelling homes.

The other, the acer polymorphum is very rare and has not as yet been forced into botany books. It has small star shaped leaves, with five or soven points, and has fairy like clusters of little scarlet cnpB, shining up among the shadows of the leaves. Adjacent to the flower gardens is a sycamore grove overlooking the lake, where a comfortable resting place may bo found jfifter so long a walk. Tho fresh green of the the far away stretch of water with its hilly shoro and tho white swans drifting slowly past make a Brook lynite feel that Prospoct Park has Borne attractions which no other can claim. Mr.

Telford states that tho Isle of Wight Hotel will not receive guests this season, tho troubles whioh caused it to olose last year not having boon adjusted. i Events in the Social World During the "Week.

A KINDEUdAHTEN ENTERTAINMENT. A very enjoyable entertainment waB given by tho pupils of Miss A. Hildt's Institute, 342 State street, on Wednesday evening. The audience, which was composed of the parontB, relatives and friends of the pupils, crowded the spacious parlors. The little masters and misoes displayed marked proficiency and their efforts reflected credit upon themselves and their instructresses.

The following was tho programme Chorus, "Die Opportunity for "Worship on Prospect Heights. Homo of the Fine Churches of the Neighborhood A New Comer Among the Pastors AH Sorts of Denominational Notes from Unitarian to Calvinistic. In strolling through Seventh avonuo and the adjacent streets ou Prospect Heights the Murray Hill of Brooklyn in these early Soring clays, one of the most notablo points of intercut is the uniformly prosperous and tidy appearance of its churches. That this portion of the city contains much wealth is evidenced by the number of hand gome homes round about it, and it seems to bo the desire of the residents to have their churches in keeping with the beauty of the environs. Thero are four churches standing within a block of each other, all built of gray stone, and three of them in charge of now paBtors.

Tho beautiful Memorial Presbyterian Church, which was built about five years ago, was not long in outgrowing its capacity, and only two or three weeks since it held ita formal dedication of a costly new chapel, built on the St. Johns place side. Grace 31. E. Church, across the street, is one of the imposing and attractive architectural features of the city, and St.

John's Protestant Episcopal Church, not far off, with its patch of green in front, never looked more inviting than it does at present. The Rev. C. Edgar, pastor of the Church of Christ, in Sterling place, one block from St. John's Church is tho latest accession to the clerical ranks of Prospect heights.

He comes as the successor to tho Itcv. J. 'A. Tyler, an able and hard working pastor who resigned a year ago to accept a call to Cleveland, 0. Mr.

Edgar has been favorably received and is fast making friends. Xt is predicted that 'he will bring the church into a new term of prosperity. Christ Church is comparatively a young organization. The nucleus for it was formed about twelve years ago, and meetings were held in a little frame Btructuro on Lincoln place, near Sixth avenue. Six years ago their present commodious house of worship was purchased of the Seventh Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church.

Tho present mem bcrshin of tho church is between two and three hundred. All the pews are free, and the current expenses are promptly met by the voluntary contributions of its members. Mr. C. C.

Martin, who superintends the Brooklyn Bridge six days in the week, funis a pleasant vacation on the seventh day in superintending tho Sunday school of the Church of Christ. The church is congregational in its form of governmont, and is connected with that body of Christians known as the disciples of Christ. They aim to be unsectarian and undenominational. Their chief article of faith is the MesBiahship and tho Divine Sonship of Jesus. Although this body ia scarcely known in this section of the country yet it stands fifth in numorical strength in the United States.

It is more numerous than either the Episcopal or Congregational church. Ex President Garfield was a momberof tho Disciples. Tho small, hut cultured congregation of the Second Unitarian Church, on Clinton street, en Joyed a Winter of delightful entertainment and iustruetiveness in thu bold, eloquent and learned sermons and lectures of their pastor, the Hov. John W. Chadwick.

In a literary way Mr. Chad wick stands among the first in the clerical ranks of cither city. Ho has a wonderful acquaintance with books and art and a library filled with rare works, among which there are mauy volumes annotated with his penciling. In the pulpit Mr. Chadwick is always instructive and entertaining.

His congregations have been larger this past season than ever before. At a meeting of the Second Unitarian Society recently an organization oalled the Brooklyn Guild wab effected for the purpose of prosecuting the friendly neighborhood work which has been earnestly discussed for several months past by many members of the Second Church. Any one may become a member of this organization on being accepted as a worker by the Executive Committee, or upon the payment of $1 or more to the treasurer. It is proposed that rooms shall be leased in which a free kindergarten shall be opened early in September. Tho most competent teacher available has already been engaged.

The rooms will be opened in the evening as ocial meeting places for those who need them lor entertainments, for clubs and class work to an extent, says tho announcement, which will only be limited by the number and ability of the workers and the amount of money at the disposal of the guild: and to the work done within the rooms will be added friendly visiting of those needing sympathy and advice, if competent volunteers are forthcoming. The giving of charity, so called, is not contemplated, unless it be in extremo cases, and then only in the most cautious way. A considerable expenditure of money will bo entailed by tho prosecution of this work in the best manner, and in this manner only are those who have begun it willing to undertake it; and the generosity of the members of tho congregation and other friends of tho cause is relied upon to make sure that this money is contributed." The Executive Committee of the guild are Mrs. Ellen T. Brockway, Miss Mary E.

Bntterick, Mr. George W. Banker, Mr. Ellis G. Seymour, Mr.

Edwin M. Wheeler and Mr. William Potfs. This morning Mr. Chadwick wiii preach a sermon in the interest of the new work.

His subject will be "Thu Cry of the Children." Every Sunday sees many strangers in the pews of tho Reformed Church on the Heights. The eloquent and forcible sermons of the pastor, Rev Wesley K. Davis, D. combined with the excellent musical arrangements, make a service so charmingly attractive that it is hard for a stranger who may drop in the first time not to repeat the viBit. Dr.

Davis constantly grows in the admiration of his congregation, and that he has entered upon a campaign of earnest, hnrd work is very evident. To know him out of the pulpit is to better enjoy what he says in the pulpit. Last Sunday evening Dr. Davis began a series of Mayday lectures to young people, which is goyig to create a mild sensation and ought to result in awakening considerable religious interest. His Bubjeet last Sunday evening was "The Life that is not Worth Living." To night ho Hill talk about "The Life that is Worth Living." Next Sunday evening he will follow with "Character and CircumBtanceB," and on May 2G "Foundation of Sapphires." The Rev.

Abram Conkliu, pastor of the Fourth Universaliat Church, will sail for Europe the latter part of this month. Mr. Conkliu will be accompanied by liis brother, who is a clergyman in Chicago. Together they will visit England. Ireland, Scotland and possibly Switzerland.

Mr. Conklin feels much gratified at the kindness shown him by hiB congregation in granting him a three months' leave of absence. The financial report of the Church of St. Mary. Star of the Sea, was issued a few days ago and shows that Father 0 Connell is having a successful administration.

From Juno 1, 1887, to April 2, 1888, while the Rev. Joseph Kilpatrick was in charge of the parish, the total receipts were $15,583.28, and tho total expenditures $14, 418.00. Dni'ing that timo 0 were contributed by the parishioners at special collections. On April 2, 1S88, the account of Father O'Con nell began. From that time to April of the present year the total receipts amounted to SI 8, 624.12, and the expenditures were $17,430.30, leaving a balance of $1,187.73.

Tho special col lections amounted to $1 .422.75.

Never before have the hand ball players of Chicago been as excited as they wero on May on the occasion of the opening games of tho championship tourney which was commenced that day at McGurn's Hand Ball Court, at 200 Division street, Chicago. The Chicago Herald of May 0 devotes a column to the proceedings, and all on account of the fact that Champion Philip Casey and his confrere, James Dunne, were tho hand ball stars of the occasion. Tho Herald says in the head lines to its article Casey is a Darling. Hand Ball Champion of the World. He and Dunne, of Brooklyn, Easily Win the Opening Games of the Hand Ball Tournament.

Remarkable Playing of the Former." It then goes on to say A small black ball described a Graceful curve. carromcd against a whitewashed wall and struck the floor. An athletic giant dashed across the room and smote the small ball an awful swipe. As though Bhot from a rifle the ball flew from the clinched hand of the player and struck the end wall two inches above the floor line. A hundred men shouted themselves hoarse.

"It was a corker," said Fire Marshal Shay. "What is the matter with Casey?" yelled ex Alderman O'Brien. "He is all right," responded the crowd. The athletic giant smiled iu acknowledgment of tho applause and took a position with his back against the whitewashed wall. The above incident was one of the many exciting scenes enacted at the opening of the great hand ball tournament for the championship of the world." Commenting on tho contest in which Messrs.

Casey and Dunne walked away with the local champions, the Herald says: Everyone nresent said it was a great game. They were unanimous in the opinion that Casey was one of the greatest men living. Mr. Caacy can hit a ball with his hand hard enough to drive the ball through a two inch plank. At least so it is claimed.

Compared with Casey's hands, those of Old Silver Flint are soft as the lily white palm of a Bocietv belle. They tell great stories about Mr. Casey and his hands many of which may not be true, it is stoutly maintained that ascy is the habit of having his hands pounded for hours at a time with a trip hammer, so as to keep them in condition. When he brings one of iiis fins in contact with the hard leather ball there is the same sharp crack which follows Baby Anson's feat of pounding out a home run. Describing the contest of May 5, a telegraphic report of which appeared in Tuesday's Eagle, the Herald says The srreat same of the dav was a four handed contest between Philip Casey and ex Alderman Uunnc, ot Brooklyn, on one side and Gurn and Thomas Murphy, of Chicago, ou tho other.

Six games wen; played, the first side scoring 1 aces and winning the game. Casey and Dunne are considered the champion team of the world. Mr. Dunne was elected Alderman of the Sixth Ward of Brooklyn on his it cord as a hand ball player. While lacking the imperii 1 1.

va and skill of Casey, Dunne is still a player and likely to carry away the honors in any competi tive exhibition. lunimni' acted as marker: ex Alderman O'Brien, of Chicago, as referee for the home players, and John IJ. Nagle, of Chicago, as referee for the Brooklyn experts. The contest between these four men was one of the finest ever witnessed. The gallery reserved for spectators was filled wich an excited crowd which cheered line plays, irrespect ive of local preduclice.

1 lie first and second nines were won by Casey and uunne, scores standing to 10 and to 15. The third game was the most exciting of tfie series, Ihe Chicago champions did remarkable work and by tine playing overhauled the lead taken by the Brooklyn men. With the score standing 19 to JO against them, and Murphy made a spurt ami won the game by one point. They won the fourth game by a score of to 17. and were rewarded with liberal applause.

There was a suspicion that Champion Casey was not playing as well as he knew how, and that impression was strengtbed by the result Hid plitvmg of tiie next game. Casey was every where. He followed with wonderful quickness the erratic bounding and rebounding of the fly ing oall, calculating the exact point where it would strike and sending it back against the wall with unerring accuracy. Sooner or later a chance would come aim the nan be driven against the wall at anoint so low that there would be no rebound. In the language of hand ball thiB is "corking the ball." This explaiim why Casey is called a The fifth game resulted in a victory for the Brooklynites by a score of 21 to 5.

The sixth and last game was also won by them, 21 to 3. HE CAME BACK TOO SOON. A New York Peddler Arrested for Stealing a llliaraoiid Pin. Last October Alexander Kcnnefeck, a peddler, robbed Christian Lasher, of 528 West Thirty seventh street, Now York, of a diamond piu. valued at $125.

had presented the jewel to his wife as a birthday present, and she placed it in her trunk. Kennefeck gained possession of the trnnk key, and while the family were asleep he unlocked the trunk and Btole the pin. Detective Fecss knew Kennefeck well. He had arrested him once before for grand larceny, and Kennefeck was convicted and sentenced to State prison for one year. Kennefeck knew that the detective was after him, and left the city.

Under tho impression that the larceny had been forgotten Kennefeck returned, and was caught Friday night. He told Lasher that he could put his hand on the pin it he wanted to, but that ho was not that way inclined. Next morning when arraigned before Justice Duffy, at Jefferson Market Court, he denied that ho made any admissions. He was committed for trial. DEATH OF LIEUTENANT SCHAEFFEIt.

Lieutenant Henry W. Schaoffer, of the United States Navy, died on Friday, at the Marine Hospital in this city, of dropsy. He had been undor treatment at the hospital for about throe weekB. Tho mother and brother of tho deceased wero present at his deathbed, having como hero from Illinois, where the family reside. Lieutonant Schaeffer was appointed to the Navy from Illinois and mado midshipman July 23, 1870.

Ho tookrank as a lieutenant October 37, 1870. The body will be removed to Illinois for intcrmont. STEAMSHIP LINES YIELDING. London, May 11. The Allan Line and tho Anchor Line have yielded to the demands of their striking employes.

Other steamship companies are expected to follow. contributions given for the miiisioun iu Asia and Africa." Bishop Littlejohn will confirm a class of thirty at the Church of the Reformation, Gates avenue, this morning. In the evening Mr. Everett T. Wheeler, the treil known lawyer and president of the Diocesan Club of New York, will lecture on "Tho Beauties of Citizenship," under tho auspices of tho brotherhood of the church.

A beautiful brass pulpit was presented to the church at Easter timo as a memorial gift in memory of tlio late John P. Butter, formerly a vestryman in St. Luke's Church and for many years a regular attendant at the Church of the Reformation. The amount or Easter offerings this year, including thu now pulpit, was $1,500. The spirit of harmony is very strong in this church, and during the past twenty years there has never been a church quarrel.

As an indication of tho integrity and high standing of the members it may bo well to recite, the fact that in all the money raised by subscription in fifteen years the church has never lost over 2 per cent, of the amount subscribed by the members. A beautiful window executed in stained glass and erected as a memorial of Mrs. Maria F. A I sop, mother of the Rev. Reeso F.

Alsop, D. whs un vailed to view for the first time at St. Ann's Church (P. E.J, Clinton street, on Easter day. The window is above the gallery on the north side, next to the memorial of Mrs.

Anna P. Sehenck, and is similar in general style. The design is in two parts, one of these the quatro foil above the main section, containing the figure of an angel with tho words, Sho shall bo praised," on the scroll in her hands. Tho main window contains one allegorical treatment in its two large sections, illustrating Proverbs xxxi :27 28, which form part of tho inscription at the base: "She looketh well to the ways of her household and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up and call her blessed; her husband also and he praiscth her." The personal application of tho Scripture text is indicated by the central figure of a woman, two youths arising with reverence at her feet (Mrs.

AlBophad two sons), three other female figures and the figure of a man, which together intend a family group, including domestics, in delineation of the selected passage. Lilies in a jar in the center, and vinos on the sides inclosing tho interior apartment occupied by these figures, aid the suggestion of the beauty, comfort, peace and prosperity of a well ordered household. The inscription, beside the portion above quoted, is Erectod in loving memory of Maria F. Alsop, died A. 1888, by her son, tho rector of this church." At a meeting of the congregation of tho Greene Avenue PreBbyterian Church, held on Tuesday evening, it was resolved by a vote of 131 to 30 not to accept the resignation of their pastor, Rev.

W. J. Bridges. It is likely that he will remain, though he has not yet announced his decision. The Greene avenue church is a modest looking frame structure, with an active and energetic membership.

One year ago tho society raised $1,000 to reduce the church debt. The church is in a growing locality and has many reasons to feel encouraged in its work. The fifty seventh annual meeting of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, whoso headquarters are in Temple court, New York City, will bo held at Boston on the 17th and 18th, iu connection with meotings of other national organizations of the Baptist denomination. Brooklyn members of tho denomination may be glad to know that no reduced rates between Boston and Now York are obtainable, either by rail or by boat, there being a doubt whether such reduction is permissible under the Interstate law. The warm weather which has set in during tho past week has caused the average clergyman to discover that his parish duties have been ex temely wearing upon body and mind this year and that in order to save himself from complete postration he must soon take flight out of town.

The French exposition offers special attractions for a trip abroad this Summer, and it is likely that during the next three or four weeks many clergymen will announce their intention of sailing. Already Drs. Kendig, Hall and Powell have done so. No class of men better realize that it is a good thing to get out of town in Midsummer than the clergymen. Members of the congregation usually set the example.

A large hall, capable of seating 300 personalia being erected at Seventh avenue and Eighth street for tho new Prospect Heights Universalist Church. The society will remain in its present quarters until Fall. Tho new place of worship will be known aB Chapin Hall, in honor of the late Dr. Chapin. The Rev.

James Taylor is pastor and is building up a substantial membership. Next Sunday is to bo celobrated as Flower Sunday in Plymouth Sunday school. The members are tp contribute potted plants (in addition to money), which will bo distributed the next day to the inmates of the hospitals in this city under the direction of the Flower and Fruit Charity. As beautiful a sight is anticipated for this year as there have been on former occasions of this kind, where the platform and superintendent's, desk have been completely hidden from view iu a bank of flowers. Tho Rev.

Howard S. Bliss has finally decided to accept tho call aB assistant pastor at Plymouth Church, and this closes up the last unsettled business of the church. Tho Rev. S. B.

Halliday'B duties as pastoral helper to Mr. Beocher were to make pastoral visits, call on the sick, deliver funeral sermons and lighten the burdens of the pastor as far as possible. The duties of the new assistant will be somewhat similar, Mr. Halliday discharged his duties faithfully and well for nineteen years. In tho first year of his service he was paid a salary of $3,000, and afterward $2,500.

President Francis L. Patton, of Princeton Col lege, is expected to preach at the ClaBson Avenue Presbyterian Church to night on The Inspiration of the Bible." This is one of an interesting series of lectures on the Bible, designed especially for young people. Next Sunday Dr. Charles S. Robinson, of New York, will lecture upon "The Bible and the Monuments of Records of Egypt." A few weeks ago tho Rev.

George H. Home, of the Wyckoff Avenue BaptiBt Church, offered his resignation to the officers to take place as soon as possible. On Sunday evening, April 28. a petition, signed by many of the members, was presented to Mr. Horne, setting forth the high appreciation in which he is held by his church and asking him to recall his resignation and continue to be their pastor.

At a largely attended meeting of the congregation on Wednesday evening, after a statement from Mr. Home, he was unanimously asked to Btay by a rising vote. He finally consented. Archdeacon Stevens some few months ago selected St. Mark's Protestant Episcopal Church, on Adelphi street, as the most suitable place of worship for the small congregation of deaf mutes of that denomination which have been without a house for five years.

They held their first meeting in the new edifice the other Sunday afternoon and were much delichtod with their new church home. The work in Brooklyn is conducted iu the language by the Rev. Anson T. Colt, with the assistance of an efficient deaf muto lay reader of the diocese, Mr. Albert A.

Barnes. The Rev. John Humpstone, D. of the Emmanuel Baptist Church, gave the hand of fellowship to twenty Hix new members on Sunday, Tho congregation insisted that Dr. Humpstone should take a rest at onco, so on Monday last he started for the Adirondacks and will bo absent from the city until President Weston will preach at Emmanuel Church to day.
