 tlzed during the past year by Rev.
 Joseph Sweeney, a native of this city

Father Keogh. who is also a native Of New Britain and close friend Of Father Sweeney. spoke of the courage and self-sacri- flee of missionaries abroad, who give up all the comforts which a resident In this country has and go Into for eign lands Of strange customs and dangers. He said that such self denying effort should be supported to the utmost by the home par ishes.
 The Society for the Propagation Of the Faith, which Is nationwide or ganization was formed In St. Mary's parish 25 years ago. and since then 1t has grown rapidly In the amount of work done. There Is still much to be accomplished, Father Keogh said, and Father Sweeney needs money for such institutions as churches, schools and hospitals. or the money contributed by the mem bers of St. Mary's church last year for foreign missions, 40 per cent was forwarded to Father Sweeney and Father Keogh expressed the mis- appreciation of this aid.
 In the afternoon. Father Keogh met the promoters of the local branch and talked over work for the coming year. He suggested the ap- pointment of more promoters and said that 1t was his wish that the men and boys of the parish interest themselves in religious work as much as the women and girls do.

Twenty years ago he invaded one of Manhattan's exclusive horse shows with an an cIent stead that had for years pro- vided the motive power for a Madl- son avenue street car.
 He had first placed the nearly de- crepit beast In pleasant pastures and groomed him with infinite pains. His entry had somewhat Of a dejected grandeur about him, but he impress ed horseshow patrons and judges alike under the rather appropriate name of "Puldeka Orphan" whose sire was announced as "Metropoli- tan, tive name of the transit con- cern In whise interest he had long toiled-and his dam as "Eectricity." The entry was awarded a ribbon, token long treasured by Mir. Hughes.
 A few years later he entered a carefully groomed. alley tom cat of questionable antecedents as competi- tor in cat show. This dubious character also was awarded a prize ribbon.
 On another occasion the banker manufactur solomnly presented, for park purposes, a plot in the flat bush section of Brooklyn 10 the board of aldermen. That body as sol- emnly proceeded thankfully to ac- cept the land in the name of the mu- nicipality until investigation dis closed that the dimensions Of the plot were eight by two feet.
 Mir. Hughes was one of the organ izers of the dollar bank in 1920 and became its president in 1918.
