 A special meeting of the parish of Grace church was held last evening to- act upon several matters of interest. At the present time, the rector, Rev. George A. Alcott, officiates at Christ church, East Haven. At the annual meeting of Grace church parish recent ly held, it was the opinion of some that it should have the entire services of the rector, with the increasing work in the parish. The Christ church parish is anxious that the present arrangement should be continued. After discussion last evening, it was decided that the present arrangement should continue for the present year, if Christ church so desires.
