The Impressive Services Which Were
 Held Yesterday-PrIests Who Partic-
 iPaeed.
 The re-dedication of St. Johns R. c. church was celebrated yesterday. The ser- vices began at half-past 2 o'clock in the morning, when the sacrament of confirms tion was administered by Bishop McAahon to over three hundred children. The servi- ces throughout the day were attended with immense crowds. At half-past 10 o'clock 8 ponti6cial high mass was celebrated, and among the priests and olergymen present were: Celebrant, Rev. Father Hunt of sesshington; deacon, Rev. Father McAl- leny of Meriden; and sub-deacon, Rev. Father Rigney of this city. The sermon was preached by Rev. Father MeKenna, the elo- quent Dominican. It was an admirable dis course and closely held the attention of the reverend gentleman's hearers. Among the clergymen who assisted at this service and at others throughout the day were: Rev. Dr. Msher of Hartford, Father Coney of Colches- ter, Father Mc0iveny of Thomaston, and Fathers Russell, Kyle, Rigney, Mulholland Lynch, McKeon, Higgins, Hartigan, Kent, Corcoran and O'Donnell of this city. Last evenings service was pretty one, and the church was crowded to overfowing. Solemn vespers was held at haf-past 2 o'clock. The sermon was by Father Wood
 man, a Paulist father of New York city. Ii l was an able discourse.
 1 The occasion for rededication of the
 church Is due to the extensive improve
 ments which have recently been made in the
 edifice. New floors, new carpets, and gen
 eral overhauling and repairing, have bright l ened and added much to the fine appearanet l of the edifice.

 Please remember the "pound party" is this evening at the Young Women's Christian association home, 58s Chapel street. The managers hope there will be generous dona- tion of pounds sterling, coal, -four, groceries and everything useful in large family.

Surely in this Tha nksgiving week there is no more appropriate and acceptable way of returning thanks "for the fruits of tho earth, and all the other blessings of his merciful Providence" than Q generous dona- tion to an institution like the association.
 There will be music by the Dwight Place church orchestra, piccolo with piano accom- paniment and cornet solos. The managers will be present to receive the guests, show them over the home and answer any questions In reference to the work of the association.
