Thunder storms in Massachusetts.

Bellows Point, Mass, July 23.-Thun- der storms of surprising force, yet of short duration followed each other in quick succession this afternoon in this vicinity, doing more damage than any previous storm of the season. A strange feature of the storm was that it followed the Connecticut river, very little rain falling in places just outside the valley.
 Telegraph and telephone wires were carried down by falling limbs of trees, and the electric call service was crip- pied in all directions. Three small washouts on the Fitchburg road near Walpole brought traffic to standstill until late in the evening, the o'clock express from Boston not reaching here until nearly midnight, just ahead of the night express. The other railroads suffered no damage. 4

RAGING AT FLEErIVo0D.
Contests in the BRA and 2:12 Glasses Only
 Partly Run of.

New York, July 2%,-After a days postponement on account of rain, sport was resumed at Fleetwood park with bright skies, which, however, were soon overcast. The 2:24 class brought to the front field of sixteen. Bright Heart was the favorite. Alvara had the pole and kept 1t to the half, when Red Will ton came to the front and in rattling finish won by length from Snipe Nose. As the word go was given in the second heat the rain came down in torrents and Bright heart and Red Wilton fin ished in run in front, but were set back and the heat was given to the third horse, Tocsin Chimes. In the PIP pace B. B. was the favorite at two to one, but the first heat was cleverly won by Twin, when the races had to be post poned. Summary:

FOR THE s1UE RIBBoN PR1zEs.
Only Two Races Finisled-Grand Baron
 and Hermetic Winners,

Detroit, July 23.--For the first time since the Blue ribbon meeting began it became necessary to-day to carry a race over from the day upon which it was originally programmed. The 2:23 class trotting and the Chamber of Commerce purse for pacers produced such split heat contests that two races were all that could be finished. Instead of declaring the programme of the management announced that the 2:14' class pacing, the only unfinished race of the meeting, would be decided Sat urday afternoon. Another race will d. so be given, probably for the 2:11 class pacers.
 For the 2:23 class trotting Hastings was the strongest kind of favorite, but after winning one heat it was evil dent that he could not win the second and the public selected Katie, the mare recently purchased by President Butler of the New York Driving club, from Charles Griffith. Katie won the second heat, Vida, third, and Grand Baron. the fourth. Then it was easy for Grand Baron, who won as he pleased, out-trot- ting Vida at the finish in each in- stance.
 For the Chamber of Commerce conso- Ia tion stake, Walnut Lad was favorfte and he won the first heat because Herr, who finished first, was set back for run ming Hermetic took the next two heats, but made a mistake in the fourth which allowed Burr Patch to get in a chat In the fifth heat Hermetic clearly outpaced the others and settled the race.

BISHOP CONSENTS.
Catholics on the West Side
Of the Hill May Build
a Church.
QUESTION OF SITE DECIDED
Prominent Laymen Down Town
Will Subscribe to the Funds
Required.

The Catholic residents OF the West Side
section are anxiously looking forward to
that time very near now, when ground
will be broker for the erection of the
new Catholic church. The Catholic West
Siders have for some time been pushing
forward the project of building a church
and making a new Catholic parish to in
clude all the West Side from the Newark
and New York Railroad bridge north to
Newark avenue and from the Hacken-
sack River east to the Boulevard. At
present the West Side is included in the
territory of St. Patrick's. st. Joseph's
and st. Johns parishes.
The Inconvenience to which those
Catholics who live on the West Sid were
placed to seek a place of worship every
Sunday morning became so apparent that
a petition was circulated among them
and presented to the Rt. Rev. Bishop
Wigger requesting that they be recog-
nized as a parish and that a new church
be built wherein they might worship.
Several influential Catholics of lower Jer-
sey City promised to assist their faithful
brethre in the procuring of a parish and
a church.
In former years it was customary for a
Catholic living IN the West Side of a
Sunday morning to seek either St. Pat
rick's Church, st. Joseph's or st. Johns,
which are comparatively near, but each
one of these churches is in such a locality
that going to church by riding was an in
convenience n walking was not to be
considered. All these things when thought
over made such an impression on the
Catholic West Siders that as a means
of procuring a church a meeting was
held in one of the West Side halls. All
Catholics of that section were invited
and the hall on the night of the meeting
packed.
1t was at this meeting that the petition
spoken Of above was prepared and left
in the hands of a committee whose duty
it was to ecu an audience with Bishop
Wigger and present the petition At the
same time they were to make a state
ment in regard to the condition of affairs
The committee was received by the
Bishop, who listened attentively to their
arguments and in answer to their queries
gave them considerable encouragement.
The committee returned and reported
their success. Their brethren were
elated.
The next thing to be considered was a.
suitable site wherein the church might
be erected. The West Side has nnumer
able desirable locations, but the desire
was to erect the church as near the
centre of the parish as possible. One
spot which seems to be generally favored
by the south West Siders is the corner
of Duncan terrace and West Side avenue.
The spot is a good one for such a purpose
and it is quite likely that before the
Bishop is ready to order the ground
broken tha the site will be selected.
The ground is terraced and AFFORDS
good draining n sewerage. 1t will be
easy of access and the neighborhood is
desirah bile in every WAY.

game was lost by the champions. They
met their first defeat on the home alleys
last Wednesday night. in the matches
with Doolittle, who pulled away from the
Van Bergens, who were even with them
for second prize, and in order to hold
them the Van Bergens were compelled to
follow their success BY defeating the
Lindens in n game last evening. They
did 1t very successfully, and with a much
larger team score than esWood's Hall
bowlers. A big crowd was present and
there was lots of excitement. The Van
Bergens had lots of confidence. and bet
would take one game. A little of this
was taken, but the bets were net as
plentiful as the Vans wanted. 1t was a
fast game at the slant, and although the
ldndens put up some strong bowling, the
van Bergens were moi to be shaken and
there was never more than twenty pins
difference. This was on the seventh
frame. Van Bergen changed this about,
and in the ninth gained nineteen pins
and then the finish began, the teams
worked hard but the fairies were with
the Vans and they won by one pin. In
the second game there was just as close
work, Van Bergen had all the best of it
at the start, and looked like a double
winner. On the fifth frame the team was
fifty pins ahead. They allowed this to be
reduced, and in the last frame linden
got even by winning by t~wetny-four pins.
1t was one of the best matches of the sea-
son in Greenville. The scores were:-

was up to the average and the interest

opportunity to make a new record on the
alleys for the ladies, but slipped up on
a single pin spare. AS it was she made
a new total for this years bowling. The
