NO ANNOUNCEMENT.
Unity Church Committee to Confer With
Candidates.


The promise of a pastor at the
Church of the Unity is not bright The
church has expressed a strong senti-
ment in favor of one Of the more recent
OF the candidates who have occupied
the pulpit, and this sentiment is so
strongly representative of a very large
majority of the membership of the
| church, that it is practically the call
of the church. The method of secur-
ing the predominant preference of the
members of the church by the sending
out by the treasurer of postal cards for
| the members of the parish to express
| individual wishes upon, has been sue
ceSSful and the committee which re-
| ported last evening stated that large
poll of the church had been secured.
The committee in making its statement
| to the board at the meeting in the
| Church of the Unity last evening said
| that they were satisfied as to what the
wish of the church was as regards the
different candidates, and the sentiment
| in favor of one of the candidates in par
ticular was sufficiently strong to war
rant the committees comforting with
the candidate in question.
The committee reported further that
| it was not advisable at the meeting to
was, but that this would be done at
the next meeting, which is to be held
| Monday. In the meantime the COM
mittee will confer with the reverend
| gentleman, and if he feels that he can
| accept the call of the church, the COM
mittee will report at the same time
both the name of the candidate and
his attitude toward a prospective call.
| If he be not agreeable, and this is un-
expected, there will undoubtedly be
another poll to ascertain the choice
among the other available candidates.
| However, all the candidates who have
/ appeared before the church of the
Unity have been without charges, so it
| is thought that an expression of favor
on the part of the church at large, as
has been secured will easily win a
ready acceptance. The poll of the
church by postal card was made by
the treasurer, Charles M. Thayer, and
| through him the committee reported
| last night.
! That the church feels confident that
| it has at last secured its choice is
shown by the fact that no more candi-
| dates will appear in the pulpit. A mem
| Der of the committee said last night
that there would be no more candidates
and that the church was confident that
| The pulpit of the church, which has
| been vacant since February 9th, would
soon be filled. Several members were
seen last evening, and all spoke in ia
Vor of Rev. Stopford Brooke of Boston,
who was the last candidate to appear
| before the society He was announced
TO be one OF the ablest among the can
| didates, and the committee on supply
| reserved him until the last, as the
trump card. Others among the candi-
dates had a small body of followers,
as Rev. Theodore Williams and others,
! but Rev. Mr.. Brooke has proved a
! strong favorite. on his appearance here
two weeks ago he delivered a brilliant
New Years address, and at the close
of the morning service spoke impress

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS.
Boys Are Beginning to Train for the Bcs-
ton Events.

The first real work inthe preliminary
training of the high school track team
was done at the rink building yester-
day. The indoor track owned by the
City Guards, which has been used by
the team for the past two years, has
been secured by Manager Amidon, and
it viii be used by the team until the
indoor games at Boston, on March Is.
About 30 men responded to the call
of Captain Moran and presented them
selves to Coach Bigelow as candidates
for the team. Many of the old men
appeared and are sure of places on the
Boston team, as the new material is
far from being up to the standard fur
nished by the high schools in the last
two years. There are plenty of candi-
dates for the track events, but, as
usual, no men have appeared for the
field events, and if men cannot be de-
veloped for these events, the chances of
the teams winning at Boston are poor.
The most promising candidates for
the 40 yards dash are Jourdan, Moran,
Gross, johnson and Lyford; for the
30O yards, Jourdan, Lyford, McCauley
and Gross; for the 600, Moran, Halpine,
Kenney, McCauley and Lyford; for the
1000, Clifford, Dowd, Musher and Hen
nessey. The only candidates for the
low hurdles are Henry, Johnson, Daily
and Dowd. No men are trying for the
field events except Carroll who is vault
ing in the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium.

HARVARD ROWING SYSTEM.
Plans for the Reorganization Publisher In
Definite Form.

Cambridge, Jan. 9.-Plans for the reor-
ganization of the Harvard rowing sys-
TEN were published in definite form
today. Under the new plan a second
boat club will be formed on the same
line as the present Weld club, and as
a rival to the latter.
On April a dual race will be rowed
between clubs, by crews representing
each class. On April u two races will
be rowed, the first by the winners of
the dual races and the second by the
losers, three crews from each club.
After the races of April IL the crews
will disband and each club will then Or
ganize graded crews, senior, interme-
date and junior, and the two best
crews from each club will race about
May .. The 16 men who comprise the
two winning boats will then constitute
the varsity squad. The freshman squad
will be run independently of the upper
class crews.
About April 2S the freshman crews of
the two squads will be pitted against
each other, and with this race as a ba-
sis the freshman coach will pick the
men for the freshman crews squad.
Andrew o. Dea will coach the menu
bers Of both clubs.

A YALE COACH.
Capt. Alien Refuses to Say Whether One
Has Been Obtained or Not.

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 9,--Capt. Allen
and Manager Ord Preston of the Yale
navy returned to the college this evening
and both talked freely on the progress in
Yale boating matters made during the
Christm recess. Capt Allen when asked
if Robert j. Cook would AGAIN coach the
candidates late in the season if not in
the early part, said THE last CONVERSE
ton | had with Mr.. Cook relative to that
matter was shortly after the intercollegi-
ate race last summer, and then he said
that he thought he had better not come
back. 1t was left indefinite, and we took
him at his word since he was so explicit
about it. / told him then that / should
make that statement if ! were asked for
any by the press. Whether we have found
coach or not and just who will come to
do the preliminary work, ! prefer to wait
la few days longer before stating, because
there are certain matters that are not
clnched."
Capt Allen admitted that progress had
been made in negotiations with Cornell
and Harvard regarding the race of next
June. but the matter has not been closed
by any agreement, though Capt. Allen
and Mr. Preston both expect that final
agreement will be reached within a few
days.

EXIT ABBIE V.
The Gray Mare Twice Beat
en- on the Avenue.

1t was good footing, in fact, excellent
footing, on the avenue, yesterday af-
ternoon, and although at times there
were snowflalkes in the air, large
number of Worcesters road-Grivers
were on hand. and there were some
interesting brushes. The road is in
that condition which most faNors the
side-wheelers, and yet it is fact tdat
the brushes that afforded the most in
terest and We're the most significant
were between the members of the trot-
ting brigade.
The afternoon proved one thing very
oonclusively. If Il. C. Taylor expects
to ride ahead on the avenue during
the remainder of the season, he Will
have TO take a quiet trip off somewhere
and pick up something that is good.
He has all along maintained that the
old gray Aberdeen mare, Abbie V, was
not back number, and there have
been others to share his opinion. Rut
facts are stubborn things and Abbie
Y. is no longer queen of the avenue.
She is not even a candidate for that
title. She has seen her best days, and
so far as snow brushing is concerned,
her days are over. For three years she
has met and defeated all corners, and
has been the undisputed champion. But
she has fallen from fame and is rap
idly sinking into oblivion.
In two square heats with John N.
Watson's mare, Floe Spencer Mr.. Tay-
lor had to bite the bitter dust of de-
feat. Old Abbie V. could not stand
the clip that the lighter bay mare,
hitched to a racing sulky, was carry
ing, and each time that the pair
flashed across the finish line, it was
Floe Spencer first, Abpie V. second.
The gray mare was so much q second
that there was no question about it..
Abbie v had been beaten and beaten
fairly.
Mr.. Taylor does not enjoy being beat
en- any more than any other road driv-
er, and two heats were enough. He
drove off the avenue and a little later
appeared again with another gray, but
a horse that was not purchased Tor
speed, and the newcomer was not
speeded against the good ones of the
course.
r. J. Healy was on deck with Ar
thur Wilkes and told Walter Warren
he would give him the best rair 3r
shoes in his store if his Arthur Wilkes
could not beat Buster, best two cut
of three heats. Buster won the first
and third heats and the shoes.

SHARKEY- MCCOY.
Both Pugilists in Perfect Condition for
Their Fight Tonight.

New York, Jan, 9.-"Tom'' Sharkey and
kid" Mccoy both profess to be ready
and eager for the contest in the Lenox
Athletic Club, tomorrow night, when they
will battle for a $4,000 purse. They COM
pleted their training today and are as fit
as human hands can make them. Each is
very confident of victory. Among the bet
ters the bulk of the money is being placed
on Mccoy The betters argue that Nc
Coy's cleverness will carry him safely
over every mine that Sharkey may plant
for him. The men who stand by Sharkey
and they are legion-say that the sailor
will be ahead at all stages, and that all
he wants is to land one good punch.
Tommy Ryan of Syracuse came to town
today and boxed three rounds with Shar-
key. Sharkey didn't find much difficulty
in getting to Ryan.
II think Sharkey will win," Ryan said
later, but Mccoy will out-point him in
the early stages of the contest. The sailor
has the weight, and l think he will wear
the "Kid'' down and probably knock him
out before the Goth round"
