The contest between John Kelly and his op-
ponents for supremacy In Tammany hall and
future control Of its political power takes place
tonight, and from all Indications 1t will be an
exciting one. The society has about 1900 men,
bers, but nearly half of them are non-residents
OF the city. and the estimate is that about six
hundred votes will be cast to night. The anti
Kelly men estimate the boss vote at $50, but OF
course Kelly claims more than this The op-
position are vigorous and aggressive, and it
will not be surprising If they succeed In de-
posing Kelly. whose iron rule has made him
many enemies, and who Is COW deprived OF the
power TO reward his supporters with Office.

Services at Plymouth Church

Rev. DR.. Dana, psstor of Plymouth church
occupied his pulpit yesterday, with his broken
right arm in sling, and in the morning
preached a peculiarly animated and forclble
discourse by the aid only of brief notes. Bis
chapter of Hebrews: "Took joyfully the
spelling of your goods" The faith, endur
ance and perseverance of the Hebrew Chris
tians was fully depicted amidst the wealth
frivolity, fashion and persecution of that day,
and he enjoined upon christians Of to-day,a like
trust and steadfastness, amidst Sorrows, trials
and bereavements, knowing the faithful and
devout shave in heaven a better and enduring
substance" The sermon, th 1ugh unwritten,
was readily, happily and foreibly delivered.
On the next Sabbath, DIR. Dana will present
the claims of foreign missions, and will take
up a collection in behalf of the American
board at the close of the forenoon discourse
