THE OLD FIRST CHURCH.

The history of the Old First church has
been one of special interest from the time
it's foundations were laid by prayer and
faith. Its pastors have possessed rare
gifts and attainments. The longest pas
torate was that of Rev. Isaac Jennings of
blessed memory. Among the attractions
of earlier years was large choir of we'll
trained voices. An estimable lady re-
calls "Reminiscences which relates to that
period:
''The large hail of the State Arms
house. which was removed from Monu-
ment Park, was used for rehearsals. The
instructor was Alvin Clark, who was
highly esteemed as a cultivated Chris
tan gentleman.
"The names of the singers as can re-
call them are as follows; Isaac Robin
son, John f, Robinson, Daniel Robinson,
Edmund A. Robinson, E. Dewey Robin
son, Stephen Robinson, Uel M. Robinson,
Aaron Robinson, Charles Robinson, Ca
leb S. Poole, Aaron L. Hubbell, Norman

VIGILANT DID NOT START.
She VIII Get In Good Trim for the
Private Match Tomorrow.
lHY Associaied Pres,


RYDE, ISLE OF WIGHT, Aug. H.
Vigilant, Britannia and Satanita, in Sad-
dition to Corsaiy. Carina and Namars,
were entered Tor the Commodorc's Cup
race to-day, under the auspices OF the
Royal Victoria Yacht Club. When Wig
liant had not appeared at A. M. the
Committee concluded that Mr.. Gould
did not intend to race to-day, and this
brought forth many uncomplimentary
remarks from the spectators.
In view of Nigilant's defeat by Satantta
and Britannia, there were people who
claimed that Mr.. Gould did not care to
risk another defeat before meeting
Britannia in the match race of Saturday
fifteen miles to windward and return,
for the. $500 cup offered by Lord Wolver-
ton.
When the starting gun was fired at
$50 A. NJ. Nigilant was still missing and
Britannia, Satanita, Corsair. Carina and
Namara started westward. The course
is around the Isle of Wight, total dis
lance about fifty-three miles.
Shortly after the yachts started q
representative of the Associated Press
boarded Vigilant, off Cowes, and had an
said that the reason he did not take part
in to-day's race was because he wanted
to give Vigilant a rest and get her in
trim for to-morrow's private match.
Mr.. Gould expressed himself as per-
fectly satisfied with the manner in which
the races had been managed. He said
that he regarded them as fair and square
contests, and he would not say that
Britannia and Satanita yesterday were
