CHURCH TROUBLES.
Mir, MacKay, Late of Taylor Church,
 Wants His Papers.

It has been made known that q special meeting, of the general council of the Congregational church of tllls district has been called for this Thurs day afternoon, and that at that time serious trouble, which has long been brewing between the Taylor Congrega> tional church, of shelton avenue, and it's late pastor, Rev. Thomas MacKays will be thrashed out.
 MT MacKay resigned from the Tay- Tor church the first of this year. His place was taken by Rev R. M. Har- ris Ever since leaving his old church MT. MacKay has been trying to secure from it his church papers, without which he is unable to secure a new parish.
 They have been refused him repeat- edly. It is understood that this has been due to some hard feeling that re- suited from some of MT. MacKay's strong sermons. which he delivered when he was pastor of the church.
 The ministerial association has ap- pointed the following committee to look into the matter and report to 1t: Rev pr. McLane, Rev. Dr. Sheath, Rev pr. Squires, Rev pr. Dewitt and a shelton pastor,
 At the meeting Thuysuay every. church is expected to have one dele- gate present. besides all the ministers of the district. Ai.othr matter to cone up at the meeting will be the reorgan.

BowLERs ARE RECOGNIZED.
Local Interstate Team Regarded as z
 Great Disappointment.

The New Haven interstate bowling team, says the Brooklyn Eagle, is a great disappointment. This opinion of the local team is not far from right. Johnson's men lack that spirit and steadlness which is commanded of bowlers who are matched against the best Newark, Brooklyn, New Bruns- wick and the other cIfies can put in the field. The Elm City quintet falls down and shows. no life. 50 says this paper, when few strikes are needed. If they continue their past perform ance it will mean the death of the irl- terstate interest and team in this city.
 The attendance at the games in this city has been dropping off. Those who go to see the game do not go to see New Haven, but to witness the skill full bowling of the visitors. Charlie Johnson, one of the best bowlers in the state, has proven cratic in his work in this league. His official score in the last game was but 45S. He has not been good on the strange interstate al- leys, but on the Academy alleys of this city he does remarkable work.
 Jean Smith and Frank Beecher are rolling pretty well and even Beecher has shown decided improvement. yet his appearance on the team will never strengthen It very much. His weak ness is that he Is not steady and this kind of rolling often proves fatal to the team
 Leon Swift has been rolling the poorest on the team. His average is at present 16S. Johnson's average is ! IFS, Jean Swift's Is 1855, Frank Beech CT is rolling 1S6 the best on the team, and Becker is rolling 1S1.
 There have been reports in some oi the state papers that the New Haver team is far ahead in total pinfall thar they were last year, but a review oi the records of the two teams printed in this paper short while ago will show these statements to be poorly colored.

 the Best i'll Goal,

The New HaveD five sailed snoootb- V along last week until the final game when they fell prey to the Providence tallenaers by the score of 5 to ?. It would have been a splendid record if bones quintet could have won the llndl game of the week, but as the rec ora stands, three victories out of four games played in one week, it is nov Ing along at pretty fast clip.
 Tonight New Haven opens her doors to the New Britain aggregation, the leaders of the league. The Bone yards seem to have no unusual trouble With Jeans tribe, as several of the other teams of the league do. but the Woodehoppers have forwarded as a caution and as advice to the Elm City hVe this warning, Beware" It will De game going miles to see New Britain at first seemed to be settled forever and a day at the top of the ladder, but the ladder has been jar red once or twice and New Britain has tumbled down enough points to put them within hands reach. On Thursday night New Haven falls off at Waterbury, and Friday night the Brass City team returns the compli- ment. Saturday night the local five land in the Capital City and will at tack the second steppers.
 Hart still leads in goals caged, hay ing successfully inserted the spheroid eighty times within the limits of the netting. Schiffer stands second with "A and Jason third with 50. McCar- thy holds down eighth place with to- tai of 4S. Bone is ninth with S9, while Farrell is sixteenth with 22
 Lincoln is the fastest man In the rush line having a total of 21S. Me- Carthy is third in line, his record be- ing 148. Jean still seems to find the most time torough it. Ills marks are 15. while Wild Bill Farrell who is giving him a close race, has 8 total of 10. Mitchell still leads with goal ten ders, but Sutherland has made the most stops. A remarkable feature of last weeks records is that Mullen has Jumped out of last place. replacing Walter Tibbetts. Mullen is but one point behind Sutton, and may succeed in displacing him this week.
