THE WEST CHURCH.

ITS FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY THOUGHT TO BE
REMOVED.
Last night the trustees of the West
Church met for the purpose of ascertaining
how near sufficient amount had been COL
lected toward paying off the debt. After an
examination,we believe that there 10 enough
in the treasury to nearly liquidate the @10,-
;asa. W. the interest of the sane; this,
hswsvsr, will be more fully made known in
few days. .. .' tl,....
Rev. Mr.. OTIS, pastor Of West Church,
has labored indefatigably to save the build.
iny from the hands Of the Sheriff, and does
indeed deserve tho most hearty thanks of
hh congregation. Many members Of the
church have contributed largely, and aided
Mr.. OTIS to the extent Of their abilities
even the Sunday school scholars became
anxious to do something, 30 last Sunday they
raised tho sum, Of $50 for the purpose
named, many Of tho little boys breaking
open their savings banks in order to give
their share Of the money to be raised.
We sincerely hope that the church will
not again be threatened with . like trouble,
but will always remain Presbyterian
Church, in which may Mr.. OTIS be long per
mitted to Preach.

Making a total of twenty three gam
won by our club.

Total number of games lost, fifteen.
1t will be observed that of the three
games played with professional clubs,
the Quicksteps not only succeeded in
keeping the score down, and such a
thing cannot be said Of many amateur
organizations, but actually defeated the
second nine in the country. Those who
witnessed the bout with the e"Philadelphias,"
moreover, will unhesit atingly award "dead
heat" thus reducing the last game to four
teen. 1t should be remembered, too, that
the Peabody game was played when the
Quicksteps were in such a crippled condi-
tion as to be unfit for good playing. A
careful study of the tables above given will
undoubtedly lead the lovers of ball in Will
mington to turn away satisfied with the
career of the home team for 1875. Hiadle,
Lafferty, Gsary, Clinch, Fowzer, stidham,
Fisher, Splain, Kelley, Stock and Talley
have all done excellent playing, only at
times causing disappointment. As for the
charge that several papers of Reading and
Philadelphia have seen proper to bring for
ward derogatory to the hospitable and gen.
tfemanly character of the Quicksteps, it is
unnecessary to say more than that 1t has
been prompted by an unworthy spirit OF
jealousy caused by the unmerciful
whaling so frequently bestowed by "the
little fellows" upon clubs of twice their
size and weight.
There is no denying that the Quicksteps
need many things in which they are deficient
at present-such as confidence, careful bat
ting, &C., but nothing can be honestly said
against these gentlemen next year, though
no positive arrangements in regard to the
players have been made. There is every
reason to believe that the present organiza-
tion will be superior to the present one. To-
morrow, the Quicksteps will play an excel
lent amateur club, the Archer of Philadel-
phia. The game to be called, at the Quick,
step ground, at 2:3O O'Clock sharp. After
the Archer game, if the weather is favorable
about three others will take place before
the Quicksteps hibernate.
