THE KNICKERBOCKER FIELD CLUB. Its Second Season Started With Flattering Prospects. Tho Knickerbocker Field Club of FlatbuBh has started on ita second soason in excellent shape. The grounds of tho club are at Avenue A and East Eighteenth street and are eqaal if not superior to anything of the kind in tho city. Six courts of dirt are laid out, while at one side are throo more marked upon the lawn, all of which are kept in the best condition by a competent attendant.

Tho accommodations to be found in the small frame house at tho end of tho field aro efficient in every rospoct. There is amplo room adapted to small entertainments and serving of lunchos on all occasions, such as tournaments, lawn parties and the like, a few of which wero givon with great success and satisfaction by tho club last season. Bowling will hereafter bo a feature of tho club, and tho one story building now in course of orec tion on the west sido of the grounds will contain three alleys. An additional story will subsequently be added for billiard and pool tables and all conveniences for card playing and chess. The club will hold two club tournaments, tho first of which will begin on June 28 nnd will be completed on July i and 5.

The Bocond will probably be held in September, but tho date has not been fixed as yet. On both occasions tho games will includo gentlemen's and ladies' singles and doubles and mixed doubles. In addition to these, which aro open to club members only, the second tournament will include the games for the Knickerbocker challengo cup, which is the trophy for the championship of Flat bush. Tho association presenttd this handsomo silver pieco to promote competition among the local clubs, and their representative, William Boocock, won it iu the initial series at tho Full But a Finely Contested Game Was Played. Terry Was in Good Form Yesterday and tho Bridegrooms Vero tlie Victors.

Keunedy's Team Wins Ward's Wonders Defeated Eecords to Date. Both tho Boston and Brooklyn teams had to enter the fiold unprepared to do justieo to themselves yesterday, the former lacking the services of their third basoman, Lowe, and their noted short stop, Long, while both Fontz and Corkhill wero disabled players, aud yet tho two teams played a very closely contested game, though the score does not show it. Nichols pitched for Boston and ill fivo out of tho eight innings that Brooklyn wont to the bat not a hit was made off his pitching. On tho other hand hits were made off Terry in five out of the nine innings. But not a ruu was earned off tho pitching of either.

Scratch hits were tho order in most of the innings in which base hits wero credited. Brooklyn scored rnns in but two innings and Boston in but three. A base on balls, a sacrifice and two singles gave Boston their first run; two scratch hits and a sacrifice gave them their second run, and a sin glo hit, a base on balls and poor throwing gave them their third. On the other sido a baso on balls, errors by McGarr and Hardio and Pink ney's sharp tap of tho ball for three bases, gave them three runs, and a good hit by Smith, a well placed bunt by Bushoug and Collins' long fly ball, aided by McGarr's error, gavo throe moro runs. Nichols added a fourth run by a base on balls when the bases were full.

A decision in regard to a foul ball in tho fourth inning occasioned a growl, the ball going close to the first baso bag, which was not in its place at the time. The umpire called foul, but he was not heard until the runnors had gono home and the batter had reached third. The Boston partisans claimod two runs at least by the alleged error, but tho umpire was standing just back of the homo plate at the time and he was tha only man compotent to jndgo tho character of tho hit. The decision, even supposing it was incorrect, only made a difference of two runs at best, and Brooklyn won by 7 to 3 instead of 7 to 5, as would havo been the case had tho hit been decided The papers will havo it "robbed by the umpire." It is always tho case. The poor umpiro has to shoulder all the faults of tho team when a game is lost.

Comiskey laid all the defeats sustained iu the Eas last mouth to robbery by the umpiro. Two pretty doublo plays were made in the game, one by Terry, Smith and Corkhill, and the other by McGarr, Smith and Tucker. Corkhill played at first base and Foutz at left field up to the seventh iuuing, Corkhill putting out ten players at first base and Foutz one in the field. Then they changed places and Fautz put out five men at first base. Corkhill had some pretty bad throwing to attend to in some cases, but he filled tho position finely until ho was thrown in a collision.

Phenomenal work was done at short field by Smith, his pick ups on the rim being in the best style of the art, his error being more of a technical one than otherwise. Coilins, ton, did fine work in his position. He came near making a wonderful catch iu which ho was splendidly backed up by O'Brien, 'ferry backed up a wide throw in by Foutz, which saved a run. Tho game was full of excitement up to tho seventh inning, when Brooklyn got. in four runs, which gave them a winning lead.

Terry pitched with good effect and Busbong made two fine catches in his po dtion. Here is the score of the game: iiostos i. n. I H. P.O.

It was the opening gamoofa series of three, and had tho Brooklyn team won it they would have mounted again into second place, the Philadelphia players' league olnb having defeated Ewing's Giants. Tho fates were adverse, however, and tho red and white flag of tho Bostons still occupies tho hishest place on the players league staff.

Ward's team is playing in hard lnck. It was the same yesterday ns dnrincr the games at Brotherhood Park, New York, last week. Hit the ball how they would, there was sure to be a fielder in the way of it. Daley for tho visitors pitched in fine style. Only fivo hits, and of those three went to Ward's credit, were made off him in the first eight innings.

Weyhing waB hit for ten Binglos only, but these aided by seven orrorB developed into nine runs, threo earned. Seery in tho fifth inning made, a magnificent attempt to get a long fly Bout up by Dan Brouthers. The little loft Holder had a hard rnn of at least fifty yards and succeeded in getting his left hand undor tho ball. An unlucky Btnmble Jerked tho ball from his grasp and the batsman scored a hit. It looked iu the first inning for tho home toam as if tho opposing pitcher was going to bo punished soverely.

After Joyce had struck out Ward lifter the second ball sent him ovor tho loft fielder's bead and raced round the bases before the fielder could return tho sphere. That, however, was tho only run scored by tho toam until tho Bevonth inning, when a wild throw by Nash let McGeachy get safely to first. Sacrifices by Secry and Hayoe and a single by KinBlow onablod him to cross the plate. Tho game was not a particularly interesting one, the result never being in doubt after tho end of the first inning. Tho Bcore BROOKLYN (P.

Charles Cuthbort Hall delivered tho address to tho young ladies. Professor Eaton also talked for a short time, after which Mr. Wallace, in a short address, said that tho words which the young ladies had heard were worthy to be painted in gold and hung in a framo of silver in the drawingroom of everyone present. The services closed with tho hymn "Holy Father! hear our cry." Tho music was under the supervision of Mile. Roquencourt and the essays under that of Miss Grosvenor.

The i pacious building was illuminated from top to bottom aud was profusely decorated with flowers and plnnt. i. From the ceiling wero suspended floral pieces tho shapo or spheres and formed of daisies, while huge bunches of them were pin. ionod about the walls against a rich background of delicate white cloth. The corners and doorways were picturesquely set with foliago consisting of ferns and palms, while at tho main entrance a tall and graceful palm entwined with tho ivy stood sentinel.

The audience was a fashionable and thoroughly representative one. The Misses Sue lloagland, Alice Baker, Agnes flitch field and Aunie Ilino actetl as ushers. Jliss Cham berlin, the principal of the school, gave her personal supervision to the entire affair. The graduates, Miss Emma Eno, Miss Camilla Lane, Miss Anna Reilly, Miss Blanche lleyborger, Miss Florence Pratt and Miss Anna Tate, occupied tlie scats immediately in front of the stage. Miss Redly was the first to invite the attention of the audience, which she did in an es.

Among other things she said: "Tin; question presents itself: What do these school days mean to us not what they havo meant, hut what is now their import? Are our lives any different for these weeks of study 'The mere fact that we have completed our course nieanu nothing of itnelf.

Let us begin life then with earnest endeavor, aud as wo go out into the world let us not forget tho inspiration to hold to our purpose until we are molded lo tho full strength of perfect womanhood." Miss Elsie Bradley played a piano solo from Haydn. "Tho Future" was tho subject of Miss Eno's essay, which sho treated in a very happy manner, predicting tlio future of each of her classmates and assigning to each the possibilities that might grow out of her particular hobby.

Miss Butt then culled up tho class for presentation of gifts. ihe made some pungent remark as each member of tho class received hor gift.

She said it substance: "To education, in its broadest sense, we owe all the advantages that wo now have to make our lives useful ones. These years that we have spent in the discipline, of tho intellectual faculties have in a measure prepared ns for our places in the world and put it within our power to develop our resources, to make ourselves strong and helpful.

They have given us an appreciation and enjoyment of what is good and noble. And now as we separata each to go her own way let us not fort'et tlie duty that rests upon us, let us not livo petty, apathetic lives wasted in frivolity and selfish indulgence, but let us seloct some good end and bend all our energies toward its accomplishment. Appreciation we can do without if we always keep with us tho consciousness of a high purposo to inspire our lives." After the exercises an informal reception was held, when many present took occasion to congratulate the membors of the class and compliment them upon tho auspicious occasion.

The parlors and ladies' reception rooms, which wero given up to tho reception, wero tastefully brightened with palms, ferns, daises, roses and hydrangeas, aud refreshments were served during the evening. Although Mr.

Farrar comes from the United Presbyterian Church, which was formerly, at least, troubled witli a prejudico against musical instruments of any sort in tho house of tho Lord, ho listened last evening with composure and apparent relish to selections from some of tho comic operas and other chocrful music given by two worldly minded fiddles aud a harp. But the orchestra was behind a thick screen of palms and Mr. Farrar could not see tho fiddle3. He is apleasantlooking, brown eyed man, under 40, wearing a brown moustache and spectacles, with a littlo wife of whom he is very proud, and tbreo boys who wero, of course, at home and abed. Mr.

Farrar has a cheery voice and a way of saying unexpectedly funny things, and his manner lastevoniug did much to strengthen the good impression he made by two strong sermons on Sunday. After everyone had had a chanco to chat for a moment with tho new pastor and his wife, S. B. Dutcher called tlie assembly to order and introduced tho llev. C.

L. of Flatbush, for thirty years pastor of the oldest Dutch Reformed Church in tho South Classis of Long Island. Mr. Wells attributed to tho First Dutch Reformed Church of Brooklyn the honor of being the father of tlie South Classis, and ha congratulated the new pastor on the broad field of work before him in a part of tho city that was growing so rapidly. He said the new pastor came with a reputation for active Christian work and from a body whose orthodoxy was undoubce 1.

His was the United Pre bylerian Church. There whb a Presbyterian Church which was undergoing revision. Ho will find his neighbor of that denomination, Dr. Nelson, a kindly man rapphuise, and when ho gets his theology revised he will be just perfect. Mr.

Wells then said a foir earnest woriU for enlightened Calviuism, which in the theology of lhe Dutch Relormed Church. Dr. Nelson told some funny stories and warmly welcomed tlie new pastor, ayiug that ho hoped their relation! w.mhl be of such cordiality, friendship and co operation that outlying parishes should be moved to exclaim: "Behold, what a goodly thing it is brethren dwell together in He i 1 he supposed his congratulations on to begin ivHH the fact that Mi Fanvr had escaped from I'iiihulelphia. Ho welcomed him to the choicest part of tho moat rapidly wing city on tlie continent, lie would find his in a community of homes, where the May moving van would not play in vuewith his congregation. Rev.

Mr. Lloyd spike 'as a luminary ul.issmnt i of Farrar and assured tho church th it their pa tor's ortUo doxy was sound. Mr. Farrar 1 lev graceful words of appreciation of the cardial thing! that had been said to and about liiei. said lie came from an orthodox church, which at the end of the world would apparently r.taiid just where she stands to day.

He came fro 'i State, but he came in the original package fhuightcrj and should remain unchanged. He objected to the idea that he came because be wanted ro get away from Philadelphia, tie came because, he thought Brooklyn neede 1 a litile of Philadelphia's goodness.

An Antfaoritatire Statement Respecting tho Illness or Bradford Prince No Damagres for Imprisonment Seeking to Indict a Citizen of Fears.ills. The brief telegraphic report from Santa Fe of the dangerous illness of Governor L.

Bradford Priuco alarmed his friends in Brooklyn and on Long Island, and everybody has been anxious to know tho naturo and cause of his prostration. Tho following account of the Governor's sickness was sent under date of May 31 to tho Jamaica Farmer, tho Republican organ on Long Island, on which Mr. Prince was, until recently, an editorial writer: Governor Prince is prostrated by a severe and dangerous attack of heart failure and nerrons prostration. Those familiar with his tireless activity and incessant work during the last yoar will not be surprised that nature has at last called a halt. Every morning has found him in his office at an early hour, and the light in tho palaoo window has been one of the latest at night.

It was a rare thing for moro than five hours to bo devoted to sleep. Every public mat tor was carefully attended to. No letter from at home or abroad but received a polite and con niderato answer, and the multitudo of visitors to the executive office wero always courteously received. Ho had hoped that it would not be necessary to accompany the delegation to Washington, but when tho duty became imperative he entered upon it with his accustomed energy. The chair man hip of the delegation entailed speciat responsibility and labor, but his earnest desiro for the success of tho effort overcome all considerations of health.

Ho returned to Santa Fe ten days ago thoroughly exhausted from tho trip, but immediately went to work to clear away the great mass of business which had accumulated during his absence. Last Monday night he was at work till a late hour on voluminous papers connected with pardons, and complained of feeling very tired. On Tuesday morning ho was early at tho office, but returned homo for breakfast at 8 o'clock. It was then that the sudden attack of heart failure, which seemed to threaten immediate death, occurred. Powerful remedies woro at once usod and it waB hoped that with quiet and cessation of work there would bo no further danger.

When feeling partially restored, how' ever, he had his private secretary bring his typewriter to the house, and on Wednesday and Thursday attended to all necessary business. This brought on a necond attack on Thursday evening, followed by another on Friday morning, and his physician now demands absolute rest and quiet, with not evon a mention of business for a number of days. A letter received yesterday said that the Governor was very much better, and continued rest would restore him to health. Robert Finan, a soda water manufacturer at Long Inland City, brought an action in tho Supremo Court against Henry Segelke to recover SI 0,000 for false imprisonment.

Counselor George A. Mott, of Pear.suils, and his client, Clarkson Pearsall, notified District Attorney Fleming, of Queens County, yesterday, of their desire to go before the Grand Jury against Edward Stevens, who, Pearsall alleges, hoixlooed him out of $700.

Pearsall is 78 years of age. lie sold some property at Hempstead for $1, 500 and put the money in the bank. Pearsall had left himself without a home and while looking for a boarding house fell in with Stevens, who is a carpenter, and accepted invitation to make his home with Stevens. When Stevons learned that Pear all had the money bank he asked a loan of 7 00 on his houscwhieh is worth about SI, 200, saying that he would give Pearsall a first mortgage. Pear.

gave tho money, but the hitter never delivered tlie mortgage and Pearsall took the matter to his lawyer, Mr. Mott, who wrote Stevens a letter demanding the money or the mortgage and received from Stevens' counsel, George Wallace, the cool reply that Stevens was not indebted to Pear. all at all. Subsequently, Counselor Wallace offered to give Pearsall in full seltle tit, but it was refused. Later an arbitration v.

agreed up.m and flu arbitr.tior;, alio.ving Stevens' claim for board of Pearsall, decidtd that he should pay Pearsall and he appeared to be satisfied, but, after consultation with Lawyer Wallace, he refused to lie bound by iiic decision. Pearsall says that in addition to the Stevens got from himflSO lo build a barn. Since tho transaction with Pearsall Stevens has mortgaged his house to Samuel Cr.r niau for $250 and to S. Foster Sprague for $550. Stevens claims that Pearsall gave hi the money as compensation for board for the rest of his life.

Pearsall denies it. Benjamin W. Downing eavs he is not a candidate for district attorney of Queens County and apparently he means it, but his political friends of othei days profess to believe that lie is, and manifest their faith by saying that if he is tendered a nomination ho will not decline it.

His Action in the Ticket Contract Transaction Indorsed Snueriutendent Martin Vf ithdraws From tho Board of Experts. The Old Oillcftrs Ue elected.

Despite tho predictions that the bridpro trustees would not be able to muster a quorum for tho regular monthly meeting yesterday afternoon a working majority turned up at the appointed hour. President Howell presided and there were present of the Brooklyn contingent Trustees Swan, May, Biley, Molienhauer, Anderson and Keeney, and from New Yuk Trustees Stanton, Hillabrand, Lawrence, Schwab, Controller Myers and McXulty. Under the bylaws it was electtou day for the officers of the Board, and Secretary Beam an. nounced this, while Mr. Howell occupied a side Beat.

The ballot for president resulted in 13 votes being cast, 13 to re elect Mr. Howell and 1 blank. President Howell thanked the Board for the honor they had conferred upon him and indorsement they had given in the re election of his policy for the past year. The Board then re elected Isidor Wormscr, of New York, as vice president. Under tho bylaws tho secretary and treasurer hold office during tho pleasure of the Board, and hence there was no necessity for an election in their cases.

Trustees Barnos and Anxelo Myers came in lato and loBt tho chance to voto tor officers. A resolution was adopted tho action of last meeting, authorizing President Howell to contract with the Inti rnational Railway and Steamship Advertising Company for tho sale of tho privilege to advertise in the bridge cars. Tlio contract was not made, the bridge counsel having declared it would bo illegal. The following communication from Superintendent Martin was read: Buooklvn, Mav 17. 1SO0.

The ltintra of Trustees of the Xew i'orlc and Brooklyn limine: GE.vn.aiEN" In the proposed acts of the lato Legislature, relating to the affairs of the New Yorfi and Brooklyn Bridge, recently under con sideration, was a provision whereby a Board of Experts to examine and determine plans for increased traffic facilities was to lie formed, consisting of members to be appointed severally by the Mayors of Brooklyn and New York and myself in the capacity of chief engineer as chairman. Believing then that such a board could moro efficiently discharge the duties to be laid upon it if all its members were, when appointed, entirely free from seeming or real bias in favor of any of the plans to be considered, and that in my official position I could, as adviser to the trustees, best aid in effecting a complete and satisfactory conclusion. I rcouested that mv mime lm wilful wi from tho pending enactment, and this was done. Each of the.so acts failing to become a law, at tho last meeting of tho trustees it was unanimously resolved that a board of experts bo appointed for tiie purpose and in tho manner as provided in the acts before tlio Legislature; myself, as chief engineer, also to be tho chairman. Appreciating the expression of confidence in me by tlio trustees implied by the action thus taken, aud presuming it was intended thereby that whatever Unnwlnilcn and experience I had gained during the past seven years' management of the bridge railway should efficiently aid the Board of Experts, slill, for tho reasons heretofore given, I believe i should not act as a member, and respectfully ink that my name ho withdrawn.

Whatever tervlco I can render this Board by laying before it the results of previous experience in tho nianairc ment and several plans for increasing trabic facilities already prepared, ami iu other ways, so far as may he in my power, will be most cheerfully and faithfully performed. Respectfully submitted, C. C. Mautix, Chief Engineer and To accede to Mr. Martins request it was necessary to reconsider the resolution bv which he.

was made chief of the Board of Experts, which was done. Mr. Anderson movod to amend this by striking out the clause referring to Mr. and inserting another delegating to President Howji the power to appoint the third expert. Controller Myers thought it would be well to have tho third man appointed by the two Mayors.

Sir. Anderson said ho was anxious to know if the Mayor of Brooklyn was ever goiu to ap point tne smgic expert, no nail been asKeif to namo. Mr. Swan spoke in favor of leaving the power to fill Mr. place iu Mr.

Howell's hands. Mr. Howell, he declared, knew much about the bridge and inst what kind of a man was needed. "Yes," rejoined Controller Myers, "nnd that is just the reason we want tho appointment to come from tho outside. There has been so much adverse criticism of tho bridge management that it seems to me Just what wo want to got all the outside opinion wo can on this matter, aud the really excellent management of the structure cannot suffer." Mr.

Riley moved to amend tho resolution to provide for tho appointment of the. third man by the two experts named by the Mayor of New York and the Mayor of Brooklyn. Mr. Myers favored this. General Barnos spoko in favor of having Mr.

Howell do the appointing. He decried tho unjust criticism to which the bridge management Lad been subjected and declared that ho was opposed to giving any sign of weakening before the alleged storm of popular indignation by having all the experts appointed from outside tho Board of Trustees itself. Mr. Riley withdrew his amendment and Controller Myers offered it. again.

It was lost and the amendment delegating the power to appoint tho third expert to Mr. Howell was carried. Mr. Howell said ho was not anxious to assumo the responsibility, as it was by no means an easy task to select tho right man for the place. Mr.

Riley offered the following: Resolved, That all bids offered under advertisement for 30,000,000 package tiekots be returned unopened to tho party or parties offering the same; and it is further Uesolveil, That the Trustees approve of the action of the president in awarding the contract to tho Hamilton Bank Note Company. A lively discussion betweon Controller Myers and President Howell followed. Mr. Myers thought it was entirely wrong for Mr. Howell to have pursued the course ho followed originally in the award of the ticket contract, which Mr.

Myers declared should havo been awarded to tho lowest bidder outright or else new proposals advertised for. Sir. Howell restated tlio reasons for his course of action, which have already been published. When all the bids but that of tho Hamilton Bank Note Company had been declared informal by the bridge counsel, he said he sent for the representative of tlie Hamilton Company and made him an offer outright, which was accepted. The ageut was not told that tho figure named was what a rival concern had bid.

Everything was done oponly and above board and lor the beat interests of tho bridge. Sir. Myers declared the hand printing process was one of twenty years ago. The Stock Exchange uses tho steam process now. Mr.

Howell said Mr. Martin had ascertained that the United States used the hand press process altogether. Mv. Myers took exception to this, declaring that it would be impossible to do an tne Lrovernmen worK that way, and that only a small portion or it wasoi this kind. Mr.

Riley sidod with Mr. Howell. The best work of the kind in quostion was done, ho said, Dy nanu, just as is tne caso with wall paper. General Tlarnes had a word tn mr. Ifn trnu in favor of adhering to tho stand originally takon on tlio ticket which was right and in the interests oi tne bridge, lie was sorry Mr Myers opened the caso in the newspapers and thought it was nanny up to his standard ot com tesy in Ins intercourse with his colleagues of tho Board.

Mr. Myers returned a somewhat evasivo re ply to this shot, reiterating ins views on the tin fairness of Mr. Howell's course. Bids were adver tised for, ho asserted, so that the contract could be given to the lowest bidder. Mr.

Audorson remarked that President Howell's business shrewdness in tho matter had saved the bridge $1,100. May said tho quostion was not one of economy, but of justice, and in view of Sir. Howell's explanation he was in favor of sustaining Mr. Howell. Mr.

Riley's resolution was carried by a vote of 0 to 2, Controller Myers and Angelo Myers voting in the negative. General Barnes, on behalf of a committee, reported a recommendation that the claim of tho cold storago company occupying one of the bridge arches for damages from leakage amounting to bo allowed to the extent of $3,300. Treasurer George B. McClellan's report for tho month of April shows that tho receipts from tho railroad wero from the carriageways, $0,000.30, and from tho promenade, $1,330.33. Expenditures for the month amounted to $53, 147.03.

The traffic. statement of Secretary Eeam says tho railroad carried 3,303,043 passengers, while 320,007 crossed on the promenade. DEPAKT3IENT OF ASTR0JI03IY.

Before large congregation and under most auspicious circumstances yesterday afternoon, Bishop Ahram Newkirk Littlejohn, of the Diocese of Long Island, laid with impressive ceremonies the corner Rtono of St. Luke's P.

E. Church, on Clinton avenue, near Fulton street. Associated with him in the exorcises were Rev. Goorgo P. Breed, of St.

John's; Dr. Langford, General Secretary of Missions, New York; Rev. C. W. Homer, of St.

James; llev. H. T. Hcudder, of St. Clement's; llev.

E. Pendleton. The exercises commenced at 1 o'clock and were held on a temporary platform erected over the foundation walls of tho proposed church building, to which place a procession marched from the Sunday school room in the chapel, headed by a baud of knights templar connected with the parish, about thirty in full uniform, led by the. following officers: J. A.

Cov.ie, warden; li. 11. Parker, vice warden, and Pi. II. Kimber, snb warden.

After thorn came the full snrpliced choir of men and hoys, Kinging hymn No. 202, the architect, the vestrymen, the wardens, the clorgy, students of divinity, the pastor and the bishop. The vestrymen are Joseph B. Pigot, II. W.

St. John, Willis II. Brumley, Andrew Meshurai, William C. Hyde, L. V.

Cameron, James W. White and Charles A. Preller, aud the wardens William H. Fleeman and John D. Blnxome.

Arrived on iho platform tlie usual devotional service was read by the assistant pastor and tho Rev, George F. Breed. Hymn i 90 was then sung and Dr. Bradley made an address, in which he sketched the history of the parish substantially as follows; Tho beginning of church services in this neighborhood was in the year when Daniel V. M.

Johnson, then a student in the General Theologi cal commenced Sunday evening services as a lay reader in the old school house on Bedford avenue, corner of Fulton street. In tho Spring of i.s.'i a pariah was organized by tho election of tivo wardens and eight vestrymen, with the title ot Trinity Church. George W. Pino gave a deed for eight lots of ground on the west side of Clinton avenue, betweon Fulton street and Atlantic avenue, and a building was commencod, the cornerstone of which was laid by Bishop Onderdonck in June, Subscriptions were obtained for about iO.OOO, but the financial troubles and disasters of 1 rendered a largo portion of the subscriptions unavailable, wherefore very little money was realized. All progress of growth in the neighborhood had ceased for the time.

The church property had been mortgaged to complete the building. The llev. D. V. M.

Johnson was the first rector in charge, but soon resigned to meet and fulfil an engagement with Bishop Kemper, to go to the then far West He was succeeded by the ltev. T. W. Coit, D. who remained only one year.

I)r. Coit was Rucceeded by ltev. It, C. wa the last rector, and held the last service in Trinity Church, in Clinton uremic. The mortgage held by the estate of Jordan Coles was foreclosed and the chui'oh sold.

The property was bought by the mortgagees, who held it for some time. Tlie church was closed but after a while the owners kindly Offered its use for church purposes. InltMl tho Kev. Dr. Johnson had returned from the West in a great measuro disabled by severe bronchitis.

Finding the church sold and lie propose 1 to the old parishioners to make an effort to raise the sum sufticient to purchase the property and organize a new parish. Willi his most efiicient help and witJt tlie help of churchmen from all parts of the city and from the City of New York as well, the effort was fmcccs. i'ul. In 184a I the church property was purchased and a new parish organized under its present title of St. Luke's.

When all was accomplished aud a rector was to be called a unanimous eal! was given to Dr. Johnson, but he declined on the ground of his inability to perform fully all the duties of a rector on account of the affection of his throat. The itev. Jacob W. Diller, who was known in previous years as the assistant minister of St.

John's Church, in this city, but at the time was settled in Vermont, was invited and became the lirst rector of St. Luke's Church, which was in 1H42. The church prospered, the building wa enlarged by the addition of a transept and a residence for the rector was built upon the church ground, now r15 Vnnderbilt avenue. Mr. Diller' ministrations terminated only with his life in 1880.

In 1 870 he found himself unequal to the work of tho parish, wherefore tho vestry called the itev. George It. Vnndcwater February 1. 1880. His young enthusiasm and energy developed the parish rapidly, and ill 1KS2, on St.

Luke's day, the church was consecrated, free from debt, ltev. Dr. Drowne preaching the sermon. In December, l.SHU, tlie project ot enlarging too paitsit worn by establtsiitng a chapel near Bedford avenue was first announced. At called meeting in March, 1884, was subscribed for the purchase ef lots.

On May 4 the Congregational Church on Pacific street was opened as St. Luke's Chapel. It has grown into independence in the few years that have passed and is now St. Bartholomew's Church, with new buildings, fully mid tastefully furnished, and finds itself too small for its enlarged work. Tan thousand dollars at least will be.

spent this year in improvements. In the meantime impor. taut additions have been made to the property of the mother church. Dr. Diller had frequently expressed the wish for a Sunday school building.

A generous friend of St. Luko's parish, who had made it po sible, by large gifts, to pay oil the mortgages and have the church consecrated, gave the money for the erection of tho old Sunday school building that lias been torn down to make way for the new church. At the same time, to add to the attractions of tlie church and draw people to the wor. hip ami service of Almighty God, the same friend gave the money to erect the new chancel. This was built aud finished from the money then given, with its elaborate and beautiful altar and rcredos, its candelabra and tiled floor and rail.

To complete the work the choir was rellonn new stalls were added and the 1,800 new pipes placed in the organ. The whole work cost over and the sanctuary was made a memorial to the beloved Dr. Diller and the father of the donor. Not willing that the parish should hick anything of complete equipment, the same friend next purchased the lot on which the new Sunday school now slap is and tho residence upon it for $20,000. Dr.

Vnndcwater resigned in 1887 after a more than usually successful rt ctori hip of seven years' duration, and tho present pastor, Kev. A. lira tiey, 1 was chosen, entering upon tlie duties in el'iuaiy. 1888. Fire had partially destroyed (lie old church in November, 1 887, and the new rector found the parish worshiping in the old Sunday school building.

After three Sundays the room would no! hold the people. At the rector's suggestion the old church, blackened and scarred, was boarded in ami utilized once more. Forbidding as it was, the Winter had not passed before it was filled. Meantime the constant benefactor of St. Luke's hail given $40,000 for tlie erection on the site of the rectory the now Sunday school building and ball in memory of an only (laughter, and with tlie hope that it would stimulate the people to build the church, which had become an absolute necessity.

As tlie memorial structure progressed money was given again and anain to add to its beauty and convenience until over fOo. 000, including the original gift of $40,000, was expended in its completion. After a year of painful delays we come with hearts full of gladness and thankfulness to God, who has permitted us to lay this cornerstone on the Otb day of June, I SOO. It was expected ioomit the great tower einireiy, but it has atlded to our gin hiess that a friend has given the rector the means to deepen and elevate the holy plan, to conform to ine height and dignity of the new churcfi aud make it glorious for the worship of the Master, lhe prospects are very bright before us, and a united and hopeful parish prays this day, as he eoi ner tone goes into the new walls, "Prosper, () tin. of Thy bumble servants to Thy an 1 in help and salvation of immortal soul prosper Thou our handiwork." The rector referred to letters of regret at inability to attend toe cer, mooy had reached him from le v.

T. McKec Brown, of Now York; itev. George it. Van de Water, of St. Andre w's Church, New York: Archdeacon ('.

F.llis Stevens, llev. Daniel Johnson and J. W. Hunter. Bishop Litiiej lin then made a brief address, saying that the parish had indeed been crowded with important events.

Imt none was so important as the one then in progress. On behalf of the assembled clergy ami on behalf of the Diceeso of Long Island he begged lo congratulate the congregation on tho happy auspices under which the cornerstone of their church was being laid. The bishop then called on Dr. Langford, who spoke as follows The occasion which has brought us together is one of prot'uunikst joy. Wo are all ready to unite ill uplifting our hands to God in thanksgiving for all the good things showered upon us.

I come to bring you the good wishes of another parish from another diocese, and their prayers that God's blessing may rest upon tou and that this temple when completed shall lie lit for the abiding place of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Vet I cannot but feel that brevity, under iheBe circumstances, would be the soul of wit. Let me recite an incident. Not long since giving to my home in New Jersey I sat beside a gentleman who had with him a most interesting visitor. It was tiie king of a tri be in Africa.

lie was bewildered by what he saw on lhe 1 nirney, so bewildered, indeed, that his attention could not bo attracted by our conversation. At length he ra.id in a whi pcr. "Mighty white man, mighty white man." Farther on the journey, his be v.ilderiiic nt growing groater and greater, lie said, "If the white man of America tines not fear God and serve Him, then Sodom and Gomorrah will rise up against him tn the day of judgment." That was tno sentiment of one who had abdicated his kiiigshin because, having being converted, he could not longer engage in the vile and savage practices of his tribe Now, when we stand amid all these blessings and recall all they signify to us what manner ol pej uous ought we to be? What ought this home to be but one of prayor for God's people, a church that shall swing its doors outward to welcome all that would come to receive God's grace and mercy, rich and poor, black and white, young and old and, having re. ceived, may also go forth and spread his blessings. That this church may become a center of christian activity, a radiating point from which good influences shall go forth and that God's blessing may rest upon you to this end and mako all your works prosper therounto is my prayer.

A hymn was sung upon the conclusion of Dr. Landlord's address, aftor which tho bishop pronounced his benediction upon the cornorstono. When tho deposits had boen made tho stono was swung in position, and striking it three times tho bishop spoke the usual words declaring the cornerstone laid of an ediflco for tho worship and service of Almighty God. The deposits included a ISiblo, prayer book, hymnal, programme of services, journal of the Sunday School Diocesan Convention, thirty eighth report of the Church Charity Foundation, ft. Luke's Parish lieqister, copies of tho Brooklyn Daily Eagle and other newspapers, secular and religions, charter of the Cathedral of tho Incarnation, constitution, by laws and proceedings of the third annual festival of the choir guild of the Diocoeo of Long Island, Ust of Bt.

Luke's choir, church almanacor 1890, set of United States coins and remains of tho cornerstone of tbo old churoh. Cone, suffered the lose of moat of oildinga br fire.

In speaking of the failure of Governor Hill to sign the liaynido Park bill, ox Park Commissioner Kennedy said yesterday: I met Mr. II. J. Cullen on my way downtown. lie has worked hard to have tho bill signed, but now aptly applies the old adage, Tt'it no good crying over spilled I suppose that is tho proper way to look at it.

My own notion is that now, while public, sentiment is fully aroused to the desirability of adding to our park system, and especially of appropriating a strip along the shore from Bay Ridgo to Fort Hamilton, to uso this public sentiment and endeavor to seeuro something for Brooklyn. The bill with which my name has been associated was drawn by ox Corpora lion Counsel John A. Taylor, and strictly followed the methods adonted when Itmol. lrn and Xew York made impurtant acquisitions to their park systems, but as it is now out of tlio question to do things hat way, I think thero is another method. Let tlie Board of Estimate put the present park department in possession of funds sufficient to make the investigation and designation of park sites.

This will bo moro of a task than many peoplo seem to appreciate. Tho subject of riparian rights, tho proper point at which to begin the northern end of tho shoro park, the treatment of the park, call for the services of lawyers, civil engineers and what is entirely different landscape architects. Then tho matter of suitable drives and railway approaches to each park must bo fully considered. Both Fort HamSfe jlton and Fourth avenues ought to bo improved and if the shore park begin at Bay Kidgo avonuo that avenuo would need to bo doubled in width. suppose it is out of the power of the Board of Estimate to give tlio Park Dooartment funds that could bo devoted to that purposo this year.

Meanwhile the value of the land is appreciating rapidly and a number of costly buildings. Includ ing a splendid Houso tor tlio Crescent Athletic. Club, is projected on tho very land tho city need to take. 1 think it would not bo extravagant to say that it will cost the city $1,000,000 more to take this land in a year than it would to tako it now and ouito $1,000,000 mors to take it in two years. Indeed, it seems to mo this view of tho caso would fully warrant tho Mayor giving tho Park Dopartmont money enough for the purpose out of the Emorcenoy fund.

I fear the Park Commissioners will not nave tune to civo tnat thorough and comprphen bivo consideration of tho Biibjoct of additional parks which might havo been given by gontle men having no other public duties, to absorb their time aud attention. There ought lo be a largo suburban park takon out by tho Itidgewood reservoir, say four times as largo as Prospect Park. Mr. E. F.

Linton tells me that 2,000 acres beautifully located for picturesque effects could be obtained by the city for Icsb than $1 ,000,000. Tlio expense for improving ami maintaining such a park could not bo large, for the very charm of the park would be its maintenance in stato of nature. If the Eastern Parkway wero extended to the Park those who are fortuuato euouch to own horses could at any time drive out to tho country, and the elevated aud surface railroad companies could bo relied on to make it possible for even the poorest aud humblest to roach a resort where they would have tho charm of being out tho woods. If the Park Commissioners undertake to steer this so as to mako capital out of it for anyone except the people of Brooklyn thoy will be in danger of exciting distrust and the opposition of the leaders of tho political party to which ther are oimosed. This would bo fatal to tho whole project if tho next Legislature should ba of the same political faith as the political leaders who are in opposition to tlio party oi tno rai ueparimoni.

ii inei Commisiiioners want thoir recommendations adopted and hope to have tho Leglelatare oiifer the authority to take lands tho wholo proceeding must be open and aboro board, and bucIi recommendations as aro made must bo fortified by the hiffhest export authorities.

The people havo their eyes upon a largo contingent of tho members of the defunct Brooklyn Hill Tennis Club, for they claim that their grounds are equal in location to tho uptown clubs of tho city and superior in convenience to Prospect Park, while tho advantages offered by them are superior to any club in tho two cities. Tho Brooklyn Heights Tennis Club is the Knickerbocker Club's principal rival in this attempt, as a large number of Brooklyn Hill men are attracted there in view of tho fact that their old grouuds keeper, J. B. Harvey, has been secured to tako charge of the Heights Club's courts, aud his reputation for keeping courts in oxcellont condition is well known. The Knickerbocker Club's membership is now seventy.

KENSINGTON LAWS TENNIS CLUB. Ita ISew tiromids in Gooii Shsipo ami I'layiiiff Will Soon itvgin. The new grounds of the Kensington Lawn Tennis Club, on Atlantic avenue, aro now in excellent shape. For several years tho members have played on the property on Pacilic street, near New York avenue, but the place has changed hands aud one half of the space will be built upon. This caused the players to seek new grounds and the courts on Atlantic avenue are tho result.

They aro within easy reach of the old quarters, as they are just above New York avenue. Playi ng will he done at both, as the remaining half of tho old grounds, consisting of two grass courts, although net sufficient for the large membership, remains uninjured and will be patronized as generously as the new grounds. The latter havo ample room for three courts, which opened a few weeks ago. The small frame houso containing tho lookers aud bath which is still at tho old grounds will be moved around. For many years tho club has held its annual tournament on Decoration day each year, but on account of the uusettled state in which thoy were placed in changing their quarters, the usual custom did not and an indefinite postponement was found necessary.

The tournament, which will include gentlemen's and ladies' singles and doubles and mixed doubles, will be held in the latter part of September or early in October. The club is a very old one, having been organized in 1 882 by the old residents of that locality and numbers among its members some excellent players. Among the men who promise to make a good showing in the tournament are H. W. Jessuo, L.

This afternoon and evening, the Entertainment Committee havo arranged to hold a lawn party at tho Atlantic avenue grounds and a gay time is anticipated. The afternoon was spent in tennis playing, and at about 7 o'clock an elaborate 1 inch will be served.

This event will probably mark tho beginning of active tenuis playing among the members, as the disturbance resulting from the change of grounds caused a lull in the enthusiasm of tlie club.
