Hear Me-" was then beautifully rendered by
Mrs. c. W. Wescott and choir. Rev. Lewis G..
Wilson. Secretary of the American Unitarian
Association who was to deliver the sermon,
began by extending congratulations and best
wishes from the national association. He had
not proceeded far in his discourse when the
electric lights went out, leaving the church in
darkness. Then there was hurrying to and
fro by the pastor and his aids, the audience
remaining quietly seated. Now and then there
was faint but evanescent glimmer from the
lights. and finally they came on again, though
with diminished briliancy, and Mr. Wilson
picked up the broken threads of his discourse
and continued for few minutes, when there
was second total eclipse. Mr.. Rossbach
announced that second fuse had burned out,
that the electric company had been notified
and the trouble would be soon remedied. and
suggested that all remain seated. But as
time wore on, and the curfew had rung, it was
decided to dismiss the meeting. In announc-
ing this decision Mr. Rossbach said that on
some future Sunday the letters received from
former pastors and members of the church
might be read 1t was particularly gratifying
that all of the churches of the city were rep
resented and that the utmost harmony and
good feeling prevailed among them.

THE hoard AND THE PARK.

TINE hoard AND THE PARK.
WHY does not the Board of Estimate
and Apportionnent take steps 10 deleat
this Stillwell raid on City Hall Park
The Tribune called attention several
DAYS ago to the boards persistent neg
lcct TO make known its attitude toward
the scheme of giving up Il lot of park
area TO courthouse building. The
Courthouse Commission reported in IA
vor OF the City Hall Park site many
months ago. and the Board of Estimate
and ApportiOnment did nothing. It's
failure 10 act is in striking contrast with
its previous prompt rejection of one site
after another which had been recon-
mended by the commission. and II gives
color TO the report which is being indus
triously used in Albany that most of the
members of the board are really in favor
Of building the courthouse in the park
and would welcome legislation tying
their hands and relieving them of re-
sponsibility for doing an unpopular
thing.
II is really the failure of the Board
of Estimate 10 act that has caused the
resort to Albany and endangered the
park. With the report of the Courthouse
Commission pigeonholed the project is
Indefinitely blocked. The commission
cannot proceed 10 make another selec-
ton. as il must have done if the Mayor
and his associates had rejected the pro-
noSal 10 misuse the park with the
prompt indignation which 1t deserved.
If the Board of Estimate had spoken
I'm certain fashion nothing would ever
again have been heard Of the scheme TO
spoil the park and the City Hall. If it
should even now reject the plan the de
feat Of the StillWell bill would he easy,
for il is not TO he supposed that the inn
pudence of Albany would 90 10 the
length Of actually oyerruling the city
authorities. But what force IS there in
the argument that Albany is violating
home rule when the answer is that Al
bany is merely ordering something which
the city authorities would like Ia do, but
lack the courage 10 do? If City Hall
Park is ruined the members Of the Board
of Estimate and AppOrtiOnment cannot
escape large share of responsibility.
