The Contest Between Choynski and God
frey Causing Lots of Interest.
NEW York, Oct. 17.-[Spectal. l-If the sale
OF seats is any criterion, the battle between
Joe Cnoynski and George Godfrey, which
occurs before tho Coney Island Athletic
Club on October 81, will be the
most remarkable in point of attendance
which has been held since the opening fight.
johnnie Eckhardt has been besieged with
applications for boxes and seats Several
hundred have already been sold, and, judg-
Ing from the outlook, the house will contain
very few unreserved seats on the night Of
the fight.
Tickets haye already been sold to Boston,
Phtladelphia, Pittsburg and Chicago sport
ing men Several special trains will be run
from the East and Philadelphia so that the
match can be attended conveniently. The
prices OF admission will be fixed at $3 IS and
81. Private boxes holding five chairs, will
retail at $25. The Maher.Goddard fight,
which will be hold in the same club, is, so
those most interested say, the best indica-
ton In the world that the Coney Islanders
are on easy street SO far as finances are con-
cerned. The club has made good deal OF
money in the past and without any un-
looked for interruption it has great deal
more to make in the future.

brought number Of sporting men from
Philadelphia, Camden and Manchester to
this city. and they secured teams and drove
to secluded place over the county line,
where an exciting set-to between David

county, took place. The ElliottKelly fight
was preceded by six friendly set-tos of three
rounds each between Philadelphia sports,
and then Elliott, weighing 100 pounds, and
Kelly, weighing liz pounds, stepped into the
ring. 1t was nip und tuck for six rounds.
At .the beginning of the seventh Elliott
forced the fighting. Catching Kelly's jaw
he felled him in his own corner and then, it
Is claimed, deliberately jumped on him and
made pass at him while lying on his back.
The crowd got in front of the referee and
prevented him from seeing the foul. Kelly
claimed the fight on a foul, but the referee
said he did not see it, and refused to award
It to him. Kelly then refused to continue
the fight, and the referee gave the dght to
Elliott and awarded him the stakes.

conditions. The track was in fair oondi-
tion, trif1e too deep II anything. For an
opening day the crowd was an excellent

heavily. The infield was well filed with
fashionable turnouts, some of them occupied
py members of the diplomatic corps, and
though the campaign work has taken away
many Washington officials there was fair
representation present. me number OF

A PASTOR PROTESTS.
He Claims His Church Has Been
Illegally Disciplined.
A COMMITTEES POWER DEFlED.
Some Opinions on the Government Of
BAPTIST Congregations.
REV. ]. c. TAYLOR DEMANDS A TRIAL

Rev. j. G. Taylor, pastor of tho Taber-
nacle Baptist Church, colored, takes strong
exceptions to the action of the Executive
Committee of the Allegheny Baptist As
sociation, in declaring him deposed from
the ministry.
Mr. Taylor said yesterday: 'The action
of the Executive Committee, or of any other
body not provided for in tho organic law Of
the denomination, is a usurpation of au-
thority which belongs to a council of
churches when properly constituted. The
constitution of the association provides for
an executive committee, whose duty it Is to
change the place and time of the annual
meetings Of the association in case of an
emergency, and to attend to business re-
ferred to it at the annual session. 1t has
no authority to discipline church. or dis
miss pastor, or withdraw the hand of tel
lowship. The constitution provides for any
irregularity which may be brought to the
annual meeting of the association.
'The government of the Baptist Church
Is congregational; the right of discipline
rests in the church, and when q church be-
comes disorderly the churches composing
the association shall proceed according to
the regulations The grievance must be
brought to the BODY and referred to q COM
mittee to investigate and report back, the
body then finding in the case. The church
against which the charge is preferred shall
have an opportunity for defense, and can
not be justly disciplined and excluded from
the association without trial. The Taber-
nacle Baptist Church, which is reputed as
being disorderly, has violated no law of her
nor the recognized authorities
of Baptist Church polity.
1.-THE Executive Committee has gone q
step further in an illegal manner in asking
for the designations of members of the
Woman's Missionary Society and Sunday
School Convention. These organizations
have their own officers and executive
boards separate from the association. There
fore the Executive Committee of the associ-
alton has nothing to do with them. The
Executive Committee is so blinded with
prejudice as not to see the fallacy of its
course. The principal officers of these or
CARNATIONS are members of the Tabernacle
Church.
1.-THE churches of the association will not
indorse any such proceedings They have
had no part in these unlawful actions, and
the whole matter can be traced to three
ministers who are attempting to run the
affairs of the church. If the leader would
walk after the unconverted and give them
the Word of Life instead of going about
trying to disrupt the Tabernacle Church, it
would be better for the cause he claims to

OF Boston alter five furious rounds. A purse
of $500 had been hung up for the fl sht while
the gate receipts reached an equal amount.
The fighting was fast and heavy fl ON the
start. Moore showed up well, drawing blood
in the first round, while Crowley seemed
very slow. In the second, Moore had de-
cidedly the best of the exchange. Crowley
came to the fore in the third rushing Moore
and banging him around with good right
hand swings. He failed to follow up his
lead. however, and Moore came to the
scratch perfectly fresh in the fourth. This
was hot round. both men smashing right
and left. Crowley had the worst OF it, and
was weak when lie came up in the next
round. Moore saw his chance, rushed in,
caught Crowley a left-hander in the neck,
and followed it up with a storm of punches
which laid Crowley senseless on the floor.
