foundations OF the new Church OF the Holy Trinity,
corner OF Madison avenue end Forty-second street,
yesterday afternoon, at five O'Clock, to witness the
LAYING OF the corner stone OF the younger Iyngs
future temple OF worship The mild and balmy
character OF the weather was all that could be de-
sired, and the occasion proved one OF the happiest
Ia ecclesiastical annals. over the door timbers
was laid aaemporary plankine, and benches were
provided for upwards OF thousand Worshlppers.
The Blsbtp was placed near the corner stone itself,
and the music was by Grafulla, and there was also
congregational singing. The splendid Episcopal
etllice the foundations OF which we're only
visible Yesterday, is to be erected as q
monument to the liberal wing OF the
Church, and as o worthy testimonial to the dis
tinguthed and eloquent Tying, Jr.. whose eloquence
and independence have made him the BeeCher OF
the Episcopal corporation. The structure is be OF
the German Gothic style, and the auditorium will be
IN the shape fan ellpse, and the interior win dis
close the majesty OF cathedral while the acoustic
properties are expected to be as good rs those OF
any theatre in New York. Dr. Tying hopes TO open
the church on
NEXT EASTER SUNDAY,
when the interior VIII accommodate 1900 people.
1t will be l54 feet deep, 90 feet wide and at the
widesi point los feet. The main tower will afford
one OF the loftiest views on Murray Hill
everything necessary to make a complete
churcn edince the new structure VIII certainly
be a success. Beneath the belfry stage chimes are
TO be provided, and the entire work Will cost
aO0ut two hundred thousand dollars 1t will be
the most capacious Episcopal church in the city,
and, situated on the corner OF Forty-second street
and Madison avenue, it is intended to become the
strength and bulwark OF the Low Church movement,
10 ardenty and earlessly champoned by its pastor.
The career OF the younger Tying has not yet passed
into the public forgetiullness His long and vexa-
tiOus struggle against the high ritualists with
Bishop Potter at their apex was fought with spirit
and sincerity OF purpose which brought him into
conspicuous notice as one Of the leaders OF his
party, II not az martyr to his liberal convictions
and his advocacy OF religious liberty, the friend Of
which he was II was, therefore, something OF a
triumph for HIM yesterday to preside at
