GRACE CHURCH.

An interesting service was held in
Grace Church Sunday evening, the last
for five or six weeks, as the rector, the
Rev. Mr.. Short, left last evening for
MINNEAPOLIS, where he Is to attend the
Episcopal National Convention.
During his sermon, which was an ear
nest and eloquent appeal from the text,
For the Kingdom of God is not in word,
but in power" 1st Corinthians, 1870, for
the better support of the home mission
aries in Oregon, the rector graphically
depleted the lot of the preacher in the
sparse.y settled districts and showed that
the Christian should not only receive the
passive benefits of christianity and en-
joy beautiful service. but should do
something to carry the gospel to his
neighbors.
There will probably be lay services dur
ing Mr.. Shorts absence.

COrbett Wins a liard Six Round
Contest.
FITzsIMMoNs NOT IN 1T
Jim Had the Advantage in Height,
Reach and Costume and Pounded
His Opponent Badly.

Round both sprang to the center and
sized each other up; Corbett found tnat
Fitz could wear pair of our silk clock
ed socks for 1Oc and landed safely; after
some little sparring time was called.
Round 2-Fitz did some fine work, but
Gentleman Jim wore confident smile
and one of our Perquale front white
shirts for 75c and escaped with but
little injury.
Round S-Corbett's fine training showed
to great advantage; he trained in our
Hygienic Underwear which made him
persplre freely, consequently he met
Fitz's onslaugihts with great coolness and
hit Fitz one under the jaw.
Round 4-Fitz, too showed good judg-
ment; he always wore our stylish hats
at reduced prices, which reduced his
chances of getting hurt, consequently
Corbett could not hit him in the head;
everybody admitted that this is a great
fight.
Round 5-Corbett took off all wool un-
dershirts which we sold him for O5c and
sailed into his man; biff! bang! resound-
ed his blows as they landed on Fitz's
neck and the galleries howled with de-
light.
Round 6-Fitz still seemed in fair shape,
but the champion was warmed up and
would not give ianky Bob any rest; he
rushed at him like tiger and his fists
rained blows all over Fitz's neck and
body, until the Australian could stand
up no longer; the excitement was in
tense; Fdtz got up but only for a second,
for Pompadour Jim let out hot one on
the jaw and was once more declared the
champion
After the battle Corbett received the
congratulations of his friends and said
that he would start out for the coast
next week, to visit his Old folks; he will
pass through Astoria and while here
he will spend some of his winnings at
our store, getting some of our fine suits
and overcoats.
