mond, in speaking of the triennial
Missouri synod at st. Louis from which
he returned early this week. said it was
one OF the most important in the his
tory of the church.
The German and English synods were
united into one, and this is regarded a
most important step. 1t was also de-
cided to move the German teachers
seminary now located at Addison. ILL.,,
to Chicago. This is another big un-
dertaking. requiring about 100000.
One of the grandest spectacles which
1t had ever been his good fortune to
witness, said the Rev. Claus, was
the Tooth anniversary celebration of
DR.. Walshs birthday. He was the
founder of the Missouri synod and IA
900 Lutherans gathered in ST. Louis on
Sunday May 81 to assist in the cele-
bration."
There were about 500 representatives
at the convention. one coming from
London and another from Brazil The
Rev. Claus represented the ministers
from this district. while Prof. Linsen-
mann of the ST. Pauls Lutheran paro-
chial school represented the teachers
Mr.. Gutenberg of Tolleston represented
the laity of this district.
The convention lasted ten days dur
ing which time the Rev. Claus acted as
assistant secretary.
The Rev. r. Pfotenhauer of Hamburg
Mimi. was elected as the new president
of the Missouri synod. He will in all
probability move to Chicago to remain
there during his incuthbency in office

Kurtz-Kelly

Young Kurtz and Smiling Kelly, the
topliners on the TroXler bill for Mon
day night, should furnish a bout up
to the standard of the star bouts served
at the Central Institute. h boys
have not met in two years, their pre-
vious bout resulting in a draw.
Kurtz is expected to win, but his
opponent may give him a stiff battle,
as the "Smiler'' has a reputation for
being a dangerous man at every stage
of a bout. Kurtz will try to wipe off
the smile early, as he has another
bout on the following night, and will
take no chances OF injuries, which
would prevent his bout with Kid Burns
on Tuesday night.

and AL Llngren surpassed the worlds
best figures. Only last week two Co
lunbus (O) bowlers made a mark of
! 1886 pins.

record when they made 544 pins in the
first game, surprising the mark of 521
made by Smith and Thilmany in the

made by Bangart and Lindgren in
these games stands as a record.
