BANGOR.

LeSage, youngest son of c. l.. Brown, died
on the morning of the 9th, from the effects
OF the measles. The family have the synlpa-
thy of the entire community.
Arrangements are being made for the ded-
ication of the Disciple church on the 18th
inst, it being the time of their annual con-
vention Considerable interest is manifested
in the occasion.
The management of the Russell House has
changed hands, Mr.. Il. having rented the
property to Ed. VAIL formerly book-keeper
for the Bangor Furnace Co. The appearan-
COS are that Ed. will make a first-class land
lord, and the comfort of his guests will be
closely looked after.
The races on the Sd and 4th were perfect
success. The first day, it being a little damp
there were only about 400 on the ground
The dampness, however, only served to make
everything in good shape for the second day.
The track was in excellent condition and the
crowd numbered nearly 1000. On the FIRST
day there were two races-the 3-year old and
the $3.50. In the former there were TO T en-
tries, bit the first money was easily won by
Waiting. owned by G. r. Fox, Of Constantine.
There were five entries in the $50 race. which
was closely contested--Martha c.. owned by
A. ID. Holmes, of Elzhart, Ind, taking first
money. The second day there three races
the 4-year old, the free for all, and the 2:4O.
The Agar old race was won by Dutch Kate.
owned by c. T. McElrath, of Three Rivers.
The free-for-an was full of interest. There
were four entries. but Badger Boy was drawn
on account OF an accident. Two OF the re-
manning horses, Modoc and Big Soap. were
owned by one man, and it was easily seen
that their drivers intended to win by fair OF
foul means-Modoc being the favored but
Big Soap the favorite,-Tekonsha. brown
stallion owned at jackson, being the unfa-
vored. The first heat was won by Big Soap
contested closely by Tekonsha. The second
heat was given to Telxonsha, being
set back for foul driving. The third heat was
repetition of the second-Tekonsha being
given the heat. All interest was now centered
ON the fourth heat. Ii was holly contested
but Tekonsla "got there" winning the heat
and race. The 2:40 race had four entries and
was easily won by Lady Middleton, owned by
O. +. McElrath, of Three Rivers. The gross
receipts were about 5000, leaving the associ.
alton $50 above expenses

Ex-President Hayes expresses his opinion
opinion of Senator Conkling in the following
language:
"Conkling downward tendency dated from
1873. Hethen tried in every way possible to
defeat the Republican party in New York
Governor Morgan, candidate for Governor in
New York that year, was well satisfied that
Conkling did all in his power to defeat him
Conkling made three attempts to betray the
Republican party this was one of them. The
next was the Electoral Commission. He had
speech already prepared to overthrow the
action of the commission relative TO the re-
turns from Louisiana. Senator Morton dis
covered his plan and succeeded in defeating
it. There never would have been Potter
investigating committee but for Conkling.-
The democrats were 10th to go into it, and
only did at the earnest solicitation of Conk-
ling. will not say he. falsified in this case,
for think he really believed that the men on
the Louisiana board had entered into bar
gain for the sale of that State, and Conkling
assured Senators that l would from very
shame leave the white house in thirty days
after the investigation began.

The seventh annual convention of the
Diocese of Western Michigan, was held at
Allegan last week. Among those who Off
ciated at the opening services and took
convention, we notice the name of the Rev.
DR.. Schetky, the Rector of st. Marks church
in this village. He was also reelected a
member of the standing committee of the
Diocese, and delegate 70 the general con-
vention. The able and interesting report of
the band of missions was read by its secre-
tary, Rev. C. L. Stout, of Kalamazoo. The
report alluded TO the missionary work per-
formed by the Rev. DR.. Schetly, with terms
Of high commentator.
The annual address of the Bishop, among
other matters of general interest, presented
the following with reference to the Episco-
pal residence, or Bishops house, the erection
of which, at Grand Rapids, was determined
at the previous convention.
As yet the Diocese has scarcely taken hold
of the plan which is feasible to interest and
effort. Only about one-half the sum which
the plan contemplated has been realized, and
of this $500 has come from without the Di-
geese. In some cases this is only necessary
delay, in others it is that spirit that leaves
part to do the work and duty of the whole.
| am sure that if this matter is put before
every communicate in its attractive form as
well as in its business sagacity, there will
willingly be "cast in even the dollar " Of
penury."
The Rev. V. Spalding, and Rev. Darius
Barker, (the first named, thirty years since
settled here as Missionary Rector, and the
latter the late Rector, and yet resident among
assigned seats of honor beside the Bishop,
after a tribute to their character and work
had been paid by the Rev. Dr. Schetky, who,
with the Hon. Charles p. Dibble, conducted
them to the chancel, the members of the con-
vention rising to do them honor and respect.
1t was beautiful and touching episode in
the convention.
On motion of the Rev. DIR. Schetky the
secretary was directed to insert in the Jour
nal page memorial the late Rev. Albert G.
Lewis, Il. ID.
resolution was adopted gratefully ac-
knowledging the noble generosity of the
Bishop in his donation Of $1,000 to the
Episcopal fund.
Stirring speeches were made in favor of
the missionary work, urging liberal contribu-
tons to the treasury of the Board, by Rev. F.
G. Coolbaugh, of Grand Rapids, Rev. G. II.
Drews, of Elk Rapids, and Rev. DR.. Schetky.
The subject of temperance was referred to
special committee, who presented report
in which each clergyman was recommended
to encourage the formation of parochal tenn
perance associations. We will next week pre-
sent the portion of the Bishops address re-
lating to this subject.
The report of the committee on the state
OF the church, of which Rev. DIR. Schetky
was chairman, presented several features of
encouragement, and concluded by urging a
fuller carrying out Of all the agencies already
instituted for the prosperity of the Diocese,
in its temperate as well as spiritual relations.
