SOME CURIOUS CHURCHES,
Congregations Which Meet In Inns,

Congregations Which Meet In Inns,
Windm11ls and Boats.
A public house is one of the last
places one would expect to be used as
place of worship. The inhabitants
Of Twyford, a village near Winchester,
would not consider this at all nov
city, because for several years past
the Phoenix inn has been used Sunday
| for religious purposes. The room in
which the religious services are held
will comfortably hold about 200 people
and opens at the back on to a pretty
tea garden. The most remarkable fea-
ture of the services is that they are Of
| ten conducted while the public house
is open for business purposes, and the
customers can join in the singing if
they are so disposed.
There are two or three instances of
public houses which have been con-
yerted into churches, and there are
also two or three theaters which are
now places Of worship. The Fen dis
trict possesses a canalboat church
There are large number Of people
who live some distance away from any
church, and the canalboat church trav-
els from place to place for the benefit
of such folk The boat will seat a
congregation of about 100.
The old chapel of ease at Tunbridge
Wells has a unique situation. 1t stands
in two counties and three parishes.
When the clergyman leaves the vestry,
he comes out Of the parish of Frant Of
Sussex. If he is going to oficiate at
the altar, he walks into the parish Of
Tunbridge, in Kent. If, on the other
hand, he is going to preach the sermon.
he walks from the parish of Frant to
the parish of Speldhurst on his way to
the pulpit.>
The chapel at Milton Bryant is stu
ated in the village pond. The reason
for the selection Of this strange site.
was because no landowner would
would grant any other position. +
The windmill" church near Reigate
is familiar to London cyclists. Not SO
familiar is the underground church at
Brighton. Owing to some ancient
lights" difficulty, the authorities could
not 'build up" and as the, site was 8
good one they decided to "build down"

Patrick II. Powers, manager OF the East
ern Baseball League, for dissolution of
the partnership which existed between
them In regard to the carrying out OF

court before Justice Truax on an appli-
cation for an Injunction. pending trial. to
restrain Kennedy and Powers from dis
posing OF the moneys I'm their hands and
for a temporary receiver.
An adjournment was asked for by
counsel for Kennedy on the ground that
he had not time to prepare his reply to
the motion.
David Gerber, on behalf OF Brady. op-
posed any adjournment. alleging that he
feared Kennedy would leave the state and
take the moneys with him SO that when
the receiver was appointed here there
would be nothing for him TO receive.
He added that the defendant, Powers.
had remained out of the state to avoid
service of the papers upon him.
Justice Truax granted q postponement
until Thursday.
Brady says that the profits OF the six
day cycle race at Madison Square Garden
exceeded $1,000. and that he had been
unable to induce Kennedy TO divide the
money, Kennedy claiming the delay was
due 10 Powers.
when Brady found Kennedy was about
TO leave for California he brought his
action.
