We have heard it remarked here many times "I would like to attend St Johns and other churches, if could afford it." Afford it!' What does this mean Do the ''solid'' members of the church dress so well that the common people shrink from entering our fashionable churches?
 No. No! solid, sensible men and wom- en dress plainly, and "do not put on airs" We cannot think that any feels that he or she is sighted because their apparel is not equal to the maj )rity of the congregation. Everybody with 8 clean heart and 'clean apparaP is just as welcome in every church, as the best dressed there gathered. If they feel that they are not, they lack that man hood and Christian character which every man of independence should feel and assert everywhere.
 An old English post has said of Christ "He was the first true gentleman that ever breathed!" Why? Because he was perfect. He loved all, but he loved those best that loved the good in all things. A ''perfect gentleman" is one whose heart is ever ready to assist the reedy wherever found. We hear it too, often that, "church people are too stylish, too proud!' We do not belong to any church, but we are not afraid of being sliehCed when our dress is a sster dollar suit" There is some noticeable difference in the display of hats ant cloaks in the various denominations, but one is not warranted in excusing his ab sence from church by saying i've can afford it!'-LG. w.

 The scrub race that came of Saturday afternoon and afforded no end of fun for the boys. The race was between the horses of s'Cliffa Hubbard, ssChet' Wood and 'sEd'' Edmonds of Wolf Pits The starting point was at the foot of Coal Pit hill, from thence down Fleetwood avenue to Grassy Plain street. Starter John McManus; judge, L. Stone. On the first heat Edmonds came in ahead, Hubbard next, Wood on the tail end. On the sec ond heat Hubbard took the lead with his old Bridgeport horse and came in ahead in flying colors, Edmonds second and Wood on the tail end again. His horse showed speed and evidently can do better later oD. EdTnonds horse is a good one but probably lacks training. The poys were disappointed in Hibbard's horse They evidently expected to see walk. over and were surprised at the result. He completely took the starch out of the other two horses or their owners, who gave up the race for the day A little more training may turn tlie tables in the next race. Cliff then wilI~wink the oth- Ter eye.
