last years yestry, requesting them to dl- rect Mir Marvin to call special meeting of the parish to elect wardens and vestry, claiming that the annual meeting failed to elect. It will be remembered that the annual meeting was held, March 30 and adjourned to April 6, although MT Hyde would not recognize the adjournment and declared Mir Marvin elected clerk af- ter the meeting had adjourned. The of ficers were elected at the adjourned meeting. This shows that some people have but little knowledge of law, civil or canon. Under the canons of the diocese, if the annual meeting fails to elect, the officers hold over till the next annual meeting, but the adjourned meeting elect ed them. Even if the adjurned meeting should be held illegal, there is no way in which special meeting can elect officers as the canons provide that they shall hold over. Under Section 1919 of the re- vision of 1888, statutes of Connecticut, voluntary associations can elect officers at a special meeting, if the annual meet ing fails to do so and if no provision is made in the laws or bylaws of such as- sociation or society for such contingent cy; but this case is taken out of the stat ute by the canon law, which does provide for such contingency. The paper was evidently drawn by layman, who takes J will probably not take any notice of the request, not recognizing MT Marvin as clerk and also not recognizing the right of Mr Hyde to make and unmake mem- bers at his will.

Who VIII BE Governor?

1t seems to be pretty we'll agreed that
race for the ~governorship.
The situation in New York is peculiar.
Gov. Hill is holding the office of senator as
we'll as governor. He took the office of
senator to avoid a fight in the party, he is
keeping the governorship because he can
not trust Jones to put up his delegations,
and it is even possible that he may in the
fall again accept a nomination for gov
ernor, resigning tho senatorship. This
is hardly likely, and all present signs
point to Roswell 7. Flower
as the nominee. Mr.. Flower is a sensible
and discreet man, as we'll as a rich one, and
worked hard to bring the Worlds fair to
New York. MIR. Jones has a barrel, but is
isn't q big one, and there ia somsthing the
matter with the spigot; it doesn't turn
easily. Besides, Mr.. Jones is not always
discreet or even sensible. So the fact that
he really ought to be governor now. if Mr.
Hill weren't stradling, ia not likely to help
him much.
Of course there are plenty of dark horses.
Mayor Chaplin, of Brooklyn, was considered
a very rapid runner at one time, but local
scandals have crippled him. Mr.. Covert,
who represents the First district in CON
gress, would like to be Il candidate.
On tho republican side there is not yet
nearly so much interest shown. This does
not mean that there will not be a fight, and
u hot one, later. 1t simply means that cleo
ton is a long way off. 1t is by no means
impossible that Frederick Schroeder. OF
Brooklyn, may be run On Il platform with a
liberal excise plank to please his German

And This Is Coney Island.

Ten years ago, having made a number OF
trips thither, I thought I knew all about
Coney Island.
One day John Y. McKane, the king of the
island, sought to test my knowledge by ask.
ing me rather abruptly: How many hotels
do you thing there are on this strip of sand,
little and biR?"
"Oh, perhaps thirty.
THAT'S not a bad guess. There are only
300," said the king with Il benevolent smile.
Last Sunday / was down to the island
again. Tbs island is at its best ON Sun
days. The 800 hotels must nave grown to
500 by this time, from the palstial Oriental
to the little huts in the 'Put" where every
negro patron has a razor ready for emer-
gencies. Probably there is no other such
summer city in the world. Brighton and
Trouville and Ostend are permanent towns
where people live winter as well as summer
Coney Island differs all the way from
$4,000 or 10000 people on a pleasant sum-
mer Sunday to a scant hundred watchmen
and employees in winter.
Yet tho city is very we'll behaved, much
better thar it used to be in the old days. as
we'll as any city of so many people. One
reason l saw on Sunday, when a big pla-
toon of fine looking policemen marched
out from the station house to change pa
trolls with another fine looking platoon just
going in. Mr. McKane is superintendent
of police. besides being supervisor of the
town, and the builder of the big hotels.
The town of Grayesend, which
owns the beach, pays for the police
force. and the roads and water
works, and has money left to pay for its
schools, out of the rentals received for what
was not SO very long ago a worthless strip
of sand.
A bewildsring and delightful maze of
men, women, children, photographers,
Frankfurter sausages, wooden COWS which
give real milk, a wooden elephant, iron
piers which are splendid for babies to Sit
under and burrow in the sand, peddlers,
hockey pokey men, restaurants, side shows,
railroad stations. barrooms, toboggan
slides, clam chowders and the glorious sea
near at hand-that ia Coney island IL this
year of our [ ord, 1891.
