 Yesterday-Features of the Days Pro-
 ceedings-A Coming Reception.
 Yesterday was a day of great interest at Epworth M. F. church, and an un- usually large congregation was present to share in the Easter morning services and see and hear the church's new pas tor, Rev. MT. ripple, who made a most favorable impression upon all his peo- plc. He preached an Easter service of much power and beauty from the words T have seen the Lord" He is young preacher, this being his first regular charge. He was ordained only about a year ago. He last year assisted his brother, who is pastor of the Methodist church on One Hundred and Fourth street, New York city, aiding him in his pulpit and pastoral work. After the service yesterday forenoon his people clustered around him and he spent a quarter of an hour greeting his people and shaking hands with them.
 The floral decorations of the pulpit for Easter were very beautiful The music was excellent, Professor Doupe presiding at the organ and the chorus choir singing with fine effect.
 The new pastor will reside on Avon street in the house which has been the residence of the retiring pastor, Rev. MT. Griffin, who goes to Hartford to be- come pastor of the North M. E. church, vice Rev. MT. Irons, who was formerly I-.- business for year or so at Asheville, N. c.

October Contests.
Tim MnrIane in Boston Globe
Win or lose the pennant, Boston has
earned the right to play for that Temple
cpp, as there Is now not one chance in 100
that New York can get there. The series
for the Temple trophy will no doubt be
started in this city in order to avoid the
cold weather as much as possible, and for
the same reason the games will be started
as soon as possible after the regular sea,
son closes.
The week of October 4 will no doubt find
the Baltimore and Boston boys battling
for honors at the South End grounds.
Three games will be played here, three in
baltimore If required, and the odd game,
II necessary, on neutral grounds.
All the money taken at the games goes
Into one pot, to be divided 60 per cent to
the winner and 40 to the loser. The
grounds are given free Each team will
Keep the extras from privileges, such as
score cards, etc. The Boston club will have
eighteen players and Manager Selee MAX
iLg nineteen to share in the division
AS the season is late the games will not
attract unusually large crowds, as they
nave seen the teams play before. No bet
ter attraction could be offered however
than Baltimore, and should Boston win the
pennant, the attendance at the games here
would be doubled. AS in the past BaIti-
more will not swell the receipts to any
alarming extent as they have grown a
bit tired of honors.
If the Boston men win GO per cent they

funds Besides this they will have some
thing from the sale of the book now being
compiled, history of the Boston club
containing sketch of all the players ever
connected with the club, as well as other
matter on the game specially interesting
to New England people.
The sale of photographs has been quite
large, and the boys should receive quite
handsome amount out of these side shows
This week will wind up for Boston the
most successful season ever known to the
game. More people have passed the turn
stile this year than ever before and the
quality Of ball put up by Captain Duffys
boys was never surpassed.
The patrons Of the sport got a run for
their money, and the owners of the club
have good reason to smile at the generous
outpouring of the lovers of the game. The
club made big money. That's good but

Umpire Hurst Decided That He Was
Running the Game.
From the New York Journal.
An awful chill was impaired to the no,
southern blood of that Maryland SQUAD OF

the blow almost killed Corbett-not Jim
but Jim's brother, Joe. The Giants, who
had such woeful time at Boston, cavorted
like a band Of two-year-olds, while the
Orioles ceased their piping lay after the
hrst round. 1t took nearly three hours to
grind out result, and the cold, blue CLEAN
of electric lights shone over the closing
scenes.
Luck favored Scrappy Bill and his en-
pioyes. as Rusie, with one swipe to go,
landed en- the ball in the eighth and drove
in the winning run. The game was pro-
longed one round longer than it should
have been, but Baltimore tied in the first
half of the eighth and something had to
be done. Rusie, who had been held in re-
serve especially for this battle was thump-
ed to the tune of eighteen hits The same
dose was dealt out to Jims brother Joe.
but the Giants had the closing argument,
and the swat of A. Rusie was most eff
fective.
Baltimore was ably represented by a num-
Der of gentlemen, said to be members of
the Oyster Openers Union, who drove into
the grounds on tally-hO coach with yellow

remarks appropriate to the occasion, now

purpose
Before the trouble had been five minutes

out of the lot. Hurst has not .toiled on the
Polo grounds for some months, but ne
made an excellent start by sending Kelley

the game to suit himself. hence the trou-

was enough needless oratory on both sides
to delay the game almost beyond the limit
