leys, and are now two games ahead of
the Clio Wheeimen, who had been in
front for the greater part Of the sea-

win both their remaining games at home
with the Union County Roadsters. Last
nights contests were With the Castle
Point Cyclers of Hoboken, and for a time
there was considerable uncertainty as to
the success of the home team. They
bowled together at the opportune time,
however, and ran out with a lead. There
bowling was of a lively nature. The fea-
ture was the brilliant work of Kellar of
the visiting team, who rolled with only
two breaks in the twenty frames. He

average prize, and will e Hen Hanley

CHURCH HIS MONUMENT
Preparations for the Re-

.EINTERMENT ON MONDAY
Lenten Regulations in the

News.

All arrangements have been completed
for the removal of the body of Father
Hennessy, the late pastor of st. Patrick's
Church, from the present resting Place IN
the Catholic Cemetery on West Side ave-
nue. to the grave prepared for it on the
church property.
Father Hennessy died about one year
ago and was buried in the Catholic Gene
terry. A short time after the ~internent
a movement was inaugurated among the
parishioners to have the body of their
late friend and adviser removed to the
scene of his arduous labors. A difficulty
was experienced at the start, however,
as a law forbids the removal of a body
from a cemetery-within a e after the
interment.
There was nothing left for the parish
toner's to do but .bide their time, and anx-
iously they looked forward to the time
when their pastor would once more be
in their midst AS time wore on the fund
which was started to defray the neces-
sary expenses swelled until at last the
sum reached a sufficiently high figure to
warrant the proceeding with the build
ing of the final resting place of Father
Hennessy.
The day set Nor the reinterment was
the first day of March. On Monday,
therefore, the members of st. Patrick's
Church will turn out to do honor to the
memory of their pastor. The interment
will take place at $3.50 A. M, and at 10
o'clock a solemn anniversary mass will
be celebrated by Father Sheehan, who
had been Father Hennessy's assistant for
a number of years. The Rev. Father j..
J. Boylan of st. Lucy's Church will be
deacon and the Rev. Henry Murray OF
Brentwood will be sub-deacon.
AS It is not customary to preach at an
niversary masses, that function Will pc
dispensed with. All the pastors of Hud-
son county have been invited to be pres
ent.
The grave has been prepared on the
southeast corner of the church property.
On the outside wal of the tower a tablet
will be inserted in the wall and VIII bear
Father Hennessys name and the date
of his death The grave was prepared
by Humphrey Graves, who also supplied
