BASE BALL NOTES.

Since our last issue the local team
has been playing with a tolerable de-
gree of success. In the La Crosse
series we got one, lost two and one
was postponed. Opening on the home
grounds last Friday with Superior
the locals started off by dropping one.
OF the series, including one postponed
game played Sunday, Wausau got
three out of five. The contests of
that day were interesting exhibitions.
Wausau opens series In Eau Claire
today and will return home July 3,
playing two games on Monday the 5th.
Its quite likely that some new faces
will be seen on our team soon. The
last trip on the road convinced the
management That more strength is
needed. Manager Mccarthy, we
learn, has been making a still hunt
through Chicago for new players and
expects to land some soon. The
teams greatest weakness is in batting
and a special effort will be made to
strengthen it in this respect.

Mrs. Youles, ON account of their feeble
| condition, went to John T. Gallons
farm at Trappe, TO live, and it was
there that this good man died, on Tues
day, October 3lst, 1898. A few weeks

trar of the diocese, Rev. A. George f.
Jenner, and committed to him the
| charge of his library, with instructions
to send it as gift from him to the
Theological seminary at Nashota for
the use Of students for all time to
come. The day before his death he
sent message to Rev. Jenner, who at
once responded and administered the
Naticum or last sacrement TO the
dying man. He was conscious to the
end and talked of incidents of his
life.
The funeral services were held from

EMI.CENTENNIAL OF ST. JOHNS CHURCH,
Thursday, June oath, ST. Johns Day, Selected
For the Occasion.

The church was at this time given
new title: Free Church of st.
John in the Wilderness"
On the 7th day of August, 1867, a
meeting OF the Bardens and vestry-
men was called at the office of ]. A.
Farnham in the Bank of the Interior
opposite the court house, at which
time a movement was set on foot.
which resulted in the building of ST.
Johns church and outside of addi-
lions, it is as constructed at that
time.
At this meeting, of Aug. 7th. 1867.
Rev. Greene was given the position
OF rector of the parish. 1t was voted
to build a new church and j. G..
Clarke, W. c. Silyerthorn and R. E.
Parcher appointed a committee to
receive subscriptions for the same.
AT a meeting of the officers
and yestrymen held Aug. 18th, 1867,
the work of securing subscriptions
was commenced and $500 was signed
at once.
The old items of the PILOT say that
the site for an Episcopal church,
piece of ground l20 feet square at the
corner of Fourth and Mcclellan
streets-was donated to the society in
May, 1857, by the Hon. w. D. McIn-
doe.
The committee appointed Aug. It'll,
went diligently TO work and had the
church well under way in few weeks,
building it upon the old foundations
which were laid in 1858 and upon
which frame was erected and which
blew down during a severe storm in
1863.
The work of building was under the
supervision of John Dobbie, one of
our earliest builders and contractors.
The tower was ready for its bell on
Nov lst, 1867, but the same did not
arrive here until the week ending
Jan. 26th, 1868. 1t had been brought
as far as Waupaca when it was placed
in the Episcopal church in that city
until such time as the church here
was completed. The editor of the
PILOT commented upon the bell say
ing among other things that it was a
very fine toned one The editor of the
Waupaca Clarion said, at that time
that the bell got its fine tones from
calling the good Episcopalians to
church in that city; that Wausau
could have it for they were going to get
better one, anyway, and hope that
the good christians of Wausau would
heed the summons when it was tolled |
by Gabriel. To which the PILOT |
editor replied that it was evident |
that the editor of the Clarion did not |
know the difference between a bell |
and horn and therefore refused to |
discuss the question with him.
The church was so far completed |
that it was used for services the first |
IF the year, 1868, and since that time,
services have been held there each
except when the congrega-
ion was without rector.
