ENGLISH SPORTING EVENTS.
London Bookmakers Think that Smith
Will whip Jackson.

BIZ Cable to the United Press.
LONDON, Nov. 8, 1SS9.-Sporting mat
ters are rather dull, even the great in
novation regarding the Derby and Oaks
being accepted with very little discus
sion.
Owners would no longer enter scarcely
Weaned colts at random, and the number
of subscriptions to the Derby of late did
not afford stake to the winner conlmen-
surate with the Importance of the race.
The fixed prize of $4,000 will render
the event something else than q harvest
for the betting ring. Americans and Aus
tralians in London by no means under
stand the suddenly developed confidence
in the ability of Jem Smith to cope with
the swarthy Pete Jackson.
That the latter could gradually wear
out Smith with bare knuckles hardly any
one doubts, and there seems to be
no reason why he should
not best the Englishman with
the gloves, but the money of the book
makers is being put up freely on Smith.
and the opinion is expressed by many old
timers that the go will result in favor of
that fighter.

The Pioneer yerein Can Use Its Legacy
in Its Charitable Work.
Nearly 400 members of the Pioneer
Verein met at Turn Halle on First street
last evening. The meeting was a bust
ness one, but at the same time one of re-
joicing. The cause of the joy was the
turning over to the society of legacy of
$40, 900 and 81, 400 interest.
This money was left the society by
Raymond Roth, Jersey City druggist, a
year ago, with the condition that the
Board of Managers of the society be
made trustees of the legacy, and that the
interest be devoted to the Home for A ged
and Decrepit Men. A property has been
purchased on Garfield avenue by the
society, and new building will soon be
erected for the Home.
At present the old building and other
charitable institutions are being used for
the comfort of the aged. The society
numbers more than six hundeed mem
bers and the legacy will be turned to
great use

Inc OOrner stone OF faStOr IsubseiIb D
New Church Laid.
The Methodists of North Hudson laid
the corner stone of their new place Of
worship on Bergenwood avenue and
Union place, Union Hill, yesterday after
noon.
The Rev. Mr.. Russell. the pastor of the
new church, has been working with heart
and soul to place his parish on a good
business footing. His parishioners have
assisted him noblY and collected enough
money to almost pay for the new build
ing.
It was shortly after three O'Clock when
the procession of choristers left the
pastors house and proceeded to the site
of the church.
The Rev. Elder Lowry and the Rev.
Mr. Hays accompanied the Rev. Mr..
Russell.
The choir sang hymn and the Rev.
Elder Lowry preached sermon. The
reverend gentleman spoke of the dignity
of Gods house and exhorted his audi
ence to aid their pastor in his efforts to
make it worthy of the high purpose for
which it was intended.
He reminded his hearers of the gran
deurs of their faith, and earnestly be-
sought them to aid their pastor in his
effots for their spiritual welfare.
Mr.. Lowry spoke words of warm praise
for the pastor, Mr.. Russell. and eulogized
his zeal and devotion to his charge.
The Rev. Elder then laid the corner
stone. A number of coins and current
issues Of the newspapers were placed
beneath it.
The Rev. Mr.. Russell then made a feel
inc address.
His work, said he, had only begun, but
it had begun well.
II know that my people will not desert
me-" continued he, but will aid me to
build in the heart of North Hudson a
house of worship in which my people may
ever praise the Lord according to the
teachings of our revered faith"
Work will be pushed forward on the
new building, and the congregation will
be enabled to hold services in it before the
new year.
The Rev. Mr.. Russell, the pastor, is an
earnest man whose piety does not de-
tract from his keen business ability.
There is no doubt but that with the as
sistance of his parishioners, he will have
the debt on the new building removed in
q short time.
