With many expressions of grateful
ness for the removal of financial en-
cumbrance from the parish property,
the congregation of the Park Avenue

fetal board of the church, the legal
papers.
They gave them TO Bishop Anderson,
who, in turn, passed them to the Rev.
DIR. William Wallace Youngson, pas
tor, and DIR. Nicholson, and then the
papers went to the trustees again. The

Japanese urn. Grant Colfax Tullar, in
an interesting speech, presented the
urn to Pastor Youngson and spoke Of
the appreciation the parish had of me
untiring efforts of DR.. Youngson.
The church was filled to its capacity,
and DR.. Youngson was further pleased
by the admission of thirty-five mem
bers from probationary to full mem

cation that the church is now free
from debt, not a cent of encumbrance

which the parish has been conducted
DIR. Youngson that a neigh

church, had given $500 for extension
of Sunday school work and another
friend gave 800 for the same purpose.
The officials and congregation We're
pleased with this announcement, and
the board will take up the question of
what method is to be employed in
carrying out the wishes Of the donors.
The Park avenue parish has had a
remarkable growth Situated in the
northeast central district of the city
the members have seen the Struggling

right fore foot, Recorder Francis A.
Mott, jr., some night this week VIII
drive the animal for a mile or more in
East Orange. Expert testimony was
presented by Colonel Edwards, of the
S. P. C. A., that the horse could not
work out the lameness. while Mayor
Arthur b. Seymour, of Orange. for
Perkins. produced experts who testi-
fed otherwise. So Recorder Mott de-
cided to find out for himself.
The case had been adjourned several
times since October 10, when William
Smith, a driver for Perkins. was ar
rested by Special Policeman Charles
Stickles, of he 5. P. c. A. because the
horse limped and seemed TO be in pain.
During the past few weeks veterinar-
ians have been sent by both sides 10
look the animal over and when they
testified in court today II was shown
that they held divergent views regard
ing the animal.
Veterinarians called by the society
We're Or. ernest L. BuCkleN, Oh East
Orange: DIR. j. {. Corlies and DR.. Henry
Van der Roest, of Newark, while Mayor
Seymour called DR.. r. Earle Budd, Of
Orange; DIR. James F. Cary and DR.
John J. Lyon, both of East Orange.
Objection was made to DIR. Lyon being
permitted to testify as an expert be-
cause he had no graduating certificate,
but his testimony was received.
1t developed during the trial, which
lasted nearly three hours, that the So
ciety had been watching the horse for
some time. 1t was finally decided to
make an arrest, this occurring in East
orange. The animal has been worked
ever since, and veterinarians for the So
ciety examined the animal in Newark
several times.
Colonel Edwards said the society did
not desire TO have judgment entered In
ease of guilt being proved. but claimed
the animal should be kept off the street,
as it had a chronic ailment. The de-
Tense declared the horse did not suffer
and worked out the stiffness after
travelling a mile. 1t was then that
Recorder Mott decided 10 drive the
horse himself for his distance.
