BISHOP BRADLEY.
His Con.ecra.ien a. manchester xe..erda,

uHAUcnG8ttE
The conservation of the Right Rev. Denis
M. Bradley, D. D., Bishop of the diocese of
New Hampshire, and formerly of this city,
took place yesterday in St. Joseph's church at
Manchester, at the head of which Mr.. Brad
ley has shown conspicuous ability during his
service there as priest.
The doors were thrown open at 9 o'clock and
the exercises commenced an hour later. About
10 bishops and 175 priests were in attendance,
and the musical exercises were given by q
chorus of forty selected voices with instru.
mental mnsic. Dooling of Boston was caterer
and tables were spread for the entertainment
of out of town guests in the large school room
adjoining the church building on the South
ide.
The following is a synopsis of the sermon by
Right Rev. Bishop james Augustine Healy;
"But thou man of God."-1 Tim, vi, IL. This
appelation could at no time be more appropriately
used than on this occasion. For St. Paul thus apos-
trophized the young bishop Timothy, because by
prophecy he had been elected to this high office,
because from God he received power, wisdom and
sanctity to rule in the church, which is the pillar
and ground of truth. So the bishop economically
elected and duly consecrated is chosen of God and
appointed by the vicar of Christ upon earth, en-
not only to offer sacrifice but to exercise divine
paternity in producing one like unto himself into
power and glorious dignity sanctied Of God, by the
expressed by the various ceremonies vestments and
instruments delivered. Hence a new bishop is a
man of God, man from God to his people and to
the church, and we congratulate the people upon
such pastor, the pastor upon such diocese, de-
voted clergy, religious women and faithful and
earnest people.
! The first pastor, venerable by years and labor,
may rejoice to see this day and this event. for to
him, more than to any other Is due the position of
this city in matters Catholic, and the sacrifice by
able. May the pastor and people grow together in
all good, and may we who thank God for this aus
picous beginning have all reason to rejoice in the
continuance of divine blessing for this life and the
next,

Colby Wins the College Championship

Special to the Press.l
VAUDEVILLE june 11.--Colby has again won the
college championship by defeating for the third
time the Bowdoins, and outplaying them at every
point. The game was called at 4.30 O'clock and at
that time it looked like another pitchers game as
the wind was In their favor. It turned out, and
to all appearances the wind blew harder when Doe
was pitching than when Wright was in the box. But
whether by wind strategy Doe seemed to have the
Bowdoin fathers wholly at his mercy, but three hits
beng made off his delivery, and two three
scratch hits
The Bowdoins were first at the bat, and for nine
innings tried hard to send man across the plates
but it was in vain, for only three men saw third
base, and Immediately following that the side was
retired.
Colby was blanked for five straight innings In
sixth, single, steal and another single sent man
home the first run of the game. The seventh was
another blank. In the eighth Burt and Matthews,
by errors on the; part of Bowdoin. placed them
selves on first and second. Then followed a single,
and the two men home, aided by
slow fielding at center. This left on second,
who scored on two passed balls. The Colby battery
was as usual the the theme of admiration, Mat
thews supporting Doe in fue style, and in the ninth
inning making phenomenal catch of a foul bound.
In the field H. L. Putnam distinguished himself by
fine running catches. For the Bowdoins, Torrey
as usual played a brilliant game
The large audience who witnessed the game gave
the home nine perfect ovation after the winning
of the game, and tonight banquet was given at
the Elmwood in honor of the victory. The
following is the score:
