rd The sermon and installation

Stratford. The sermon and installation prayer were given by Rev. John E. Todd, of New Haven; the charge to the pastor by Rev. MT. Squires, of West Haven; the right hand of fellowship was extended by Rev. N. M. Calhoun, pastor of the First church in Mil ford, and the charge to the people was -deliv- cred by Rev. s. B. Forbes, of Vernon.
 Dr. Todd preached from the text found in John viii, IS: 'I am one that bears witness of myself and the Father that sent me bear eth witness"
 In concluding Rev. Dr. Todd said: In Christ's character there is the human mingled with the divine; he was the light of the world, the Lord of glory, come to be the Saviour of sinners, the unexplained mys- tery that looms up in the figure of the gos- pels, and the highest object of human thought and common sense. In him there is one way to follow, one truth to believe, one life to live. Knowledge is to know him, salvation is to believe him. peace is union with him, joy is to be filled with him, heaven is to be with him, religion is to serve him, high character is to be like him, and the grand morality is love for him. He is the center of thought and of history, the light which lights itself in the darkness of the future. The committee on entertainment deserve great credit for the bountiful colla- tisn spread at the house of MT. Axtelle. Things could not have been arranged in better way for the very pleasant occasion. The committee was composed of Mrs. Jabez Smith, Mrs. Smith Beardslsy, Mrs. George Roberts, Miss Katie Tibbals and Dr. J. s. Carroll

A Checker Player From Montana.
 From the Hartford Times

From the Hartford Times.1
 He was long, lank, and lean. In figure he looked like Yankee, but he said' he oams from Montana, and he was looking for a checker player, He could play good game in fact, he seldom got worsted. He was politely referred to Mr S. M Morse. He found MT. Morse and, intro ducing himself, said he had come to find a checker player, and asked Morse if he would play with him. He said he was himself a good player, and that though the Hartford man might win now and then game of him, he couldn't hope to win Gin the long run." Morse told him he was not in practice, as he had lately turned his attention to chess However, he would play few games if it would be an accommodation. The Montana man had looked a good while for a victim, and he did not propose to let this one ofr, and they went at it. Morse won the first game, and Montana spent five minutes in telling the spectators how he lost it. The Hartford man couldn't quite see it, but for fear that Montana was laying" for him he kept quiet, and let the man from the West tell how he ought to have done it. In . minute the western man pulled his face down, and his eyes assumed serious look, as he remarked, ''He'z got to tend to biz, D and he jumped two of Morse's men, and the ! ldGtoI DJ JulPibS AoNt VI u1S "Thatll be the last game you'll get from me-" said Montana, and Morse thought he was going to see the Montana style of checkers. Not g word was spoken, but a shade of disgust deepened on Montana's s face In few moments he uttered an ex- clamation of surprise. ''Skunked!'' he shouted and he swept the men from the board with look of sheer disgust. ssIhere ain't man in our diggih's that kin do thatl" At it they went again, and once more Mon tana yielded to the Yankees skill. ''I never had such streak of luck before," said the Montana man, and not till he had lost eleven straight games did he surrender, and then he thought he had had pretty hard luck. IF bidding Morse good-by he remarked, ssIt is the first time I've been taken down since ! left Montana, Nobody out there could beat me-"
 He came to Hartford to find checker player He found him.

Zuckertort making the same reply There was hush of great ex- citsment at this point as many Supposed Steinitz would open with his famous gambit, about which there has been such diversity of opinion in regard to it's soundness, but there
 was general air of disappointment when
 the champion failed to essay his daring at tack but introduced the well known safe and cautious Scotch gambit. The hall was
 crowded with chess celebrities from all over
 the United States The winning of the first
 game by Steinitz has brought the sporting element to the front, who not being expert players. had been waiting for some indica- ttions of the relative strength of the cham aions. Odds are slightly in favor of Steinitz and several large bets were made. Dr. Zuek- ertort's thirty-seventh move was the begin ming of masterly combination which eul-
 minated in Herr Steinitz's resignation on the forty-seyenth move Among those present were Mir. Max Judd. chairman of the St. faitnis eouaittee: Mr Ma ctinez, of the Phil adelphia club, and the Hon. W. J. H. Full Ter. who was instrumental in bringing Pau l Morphy before the public.
