"ooop," SAVE BISHOP coIEMAN.

The call to the Rev. Mr.. Hall was
rendered by st. Johns congregation
two weeks ago.
On the reception of the above dis.
patch the news was telephoned to
Bishop Coleman. "Good," said the
bishop, 81 am glad to hear it,"
Mr.. Hall has not decided when he
will come TO this city, but he will prob.
ably take charge of the parish al the
beginning of Lent Meanwhile the Rev.
Pelham Williams Of Greenbush, Mass.
will serve as rector of 81. Johns.
Mr.. Hall is about 49, years old and
was educated at Franklin and Marshall
College at Chambersburg, Pa. After
graduating he took charge of parish
in Chambersburg. About eight or nine
years ago he removed to Honesdale and
became rector of Grace Church. About
three years ago he was made archdeacon
of that part of the diocese of central
Pennsylvania under the title of Scranton.
Both as rector and archdeacon he has
made an enviable record. He is held in
high esteem by his bishop, the clergy
and laity. He is of fine presence, recog
nized intellectual ability and spiritual
devotion. A few months ago he was
called to an important parish in Bling.
hamton, N. Y, but upon the earnest en-
treaty of the members of his parish he
declined the invitation. Recognizing
the greater Importance of the work Of
ST. Johns parish he has accepted its call.

at the Columbia Athletic Club Meeting
at Washington.
There was big meeting Of the athletes
at the gathering Of club representatives
at the Columbia Athletic Club rooms In
Washington Thursday night and the best
there were the boxers from the Warren
Athletic Club of this city. The best
boxing match of the evening was be-
tween @. j. Moriarity, W. A. O., and
Billy Young of Washington. Both men
were in the pink of condition and well
matched. For the first five rounds the
fight was very even. In the last round
Moriarity forced the fighting and pun
ished Young severely, getting the de-
cision at the wind-up.
In the match between Lucy of Balti-
more and Woolery, w. A. c., both men
were winded at the end of the third
round, but the Baltimorean freshened up
quicker and did the work that awarded
him the contest.
In the next bout Bateman, the cham
pion of Washington at his weight, who
had never been beaten, met John Glenn
of this city. Glenn, though the smaller
man, gave Bateman severe cut over
the left eye in the third round, and
struck him often there during the re-
naming rounds. The cut bled severely
and Bateman was weakened by IT, Tho
fight was awarded the Wilmingtonian.
The last bout, which was to have
been eight rounds, between Ford of
Norfolk and Kelly of Washington,
lasted about minute, Kelly being
knocked down twice and counted out.
