Corner Stone of New Edifice to be
Laid Sunday, August 5, by Arch
bishop Ireland.

The corner stone of Father j. M.
Cleary's new church-the Church of
the Internationally be laid on Sun
day afternoon, August 5, at p. M.
The ceremonies will be conducted by
Archbishop Ireland assisted by many
OF the priests of the Twin Cities.
The suspicious event will doubtless
also attract large gathering of the
laity of the parish and other Mime
apolis parishes, for there is no priest
of the city that enjoys wider &C.
quaintance and friendship than the
beloved pastor, Father Cleary, and
many will take advantage of the &C.
casion to show their esteem and ap-
probation of him.
The new edifice is to be of the
general dimensions of 100 feet in
width and $50 feet in depth, with
transepts extending to a breadth of
100 feet. 1t is to be constructed of
pressed brick with trimming of Bed
ford stone, and will be an adoption
of the Italian renaissance type of ar
chitecture. 1t is believed that when
completed it will be one of the most
beautiful of the suburban churches of
the city It's seating capacity will be
about 1900, with gallery of about
200 capacity. The work of excava-
ton was begun in October 1916 and
it is expected that the building will
be ready for occupancy early in 1918.
The cost of the building will approx
mate $4,000 The bell tower which
will be surmounted by an Illuminated
cross will be $50 feet in height. The
basement will be used as a general
church auditorium for which purpose
it will be fully equipped and furnished.
The parish of the Incarnation was
established about eight years ago, and
it's buildings are located at the cor
ner of 3Sth St. and Pleasant Avenue.
The territory embraced in the parish
lines comprises one of the finest resi-
dental sections of the city, and is
growing so rapidly that it has taxed
the energy and ingenuity of Father
Cleary and his assistant Father Casey
to provide religious accommodations
! for their increasing flock, which has
now reached nearly one thousand
families. For six years services have
been in the basement of the large
school building, but as soon as the
debt on this structure had been can
celled Father Cleary proceeded to lay
plans for an adequate church edifice.
In this effort he was heartily joined
by his congregation, with the result
that the project is within easy range
of achievement.

LAWN SOCIAL AT ST. HELENA'S.

Tuesday evenings lawn social at
St. Helena's Parish proved popular
attraction for a cool summer evening.
All were we'll entertained and the
proceeds of the enterprise amounted
to very substantial sum. The Kit
ten ball game between the Benedicts
and the Bachelors of the parish was
the chief sport attraction, and re-
suited in the complete overthrow of
the "single blessedness" bunch of
players. The score was 20 to "a in IA
vor of the Benedicts, this being the Ord
consecutive victory for them. In the
first inning the singles" ran up a
score of 20 as against 9 for the mar.
ried fellows, notwithstanding this
handicap, the final score was as Civ
en- above. Gagnon replaced the regu.
lar pitcher of the Benedicts after the
first inning and much of the credit
of the victory is due to his good
twirling.

PANTAGES.

Are you good at picking vaudeville
acts? If you are, you may have an
opportunity of selecting the headline
act for Pantages show, which opens
in Minneapolis for the current week.
The fact is, that the management is
at loss as to which act to give the
headline position. They are all so
good, and come with so many well
won honors from big time, that there
is a question to whom the place be-
longs. So all patrons of vaudeville
who think they have a penchant for
judging acts will have an opportunity
to make their pick after seeing the
big show, and the majority will rule.
Everybody will laugh at Willie So

playing at the Kasr Ell Nil, Cairo,
Egypt, and hurried home, breaking
through four war zones to get to New
York, where he was at once snapped
up by "The Cocoanut Grove" His
appearance here follows that great
success directly and he should prove
to be a big feature. The marvellous
