Bishop Manning of New York
sounded a popular note in his recent
address to the cosmopolitan congre-
Cathedral of st. John the Divine
when he declared himself 'in favor
of the golf department of the church
and hoped that sportsmen in general
would contribute to the finishing of
the great minister of Morningside
Heights, on the Hudson. for sport Is
in itself a wholesome and sound re-
ligion in the physical sense" Bishop
Manning is one Of the most beloved
shepherds of souls who have ever held
this onerous post. and, according to
the comment of a recent genealogical
writer in Gotham, he, is but carrying
on the traditions of his race lhe
family from which the eloquent New
York divine traces his origin starts
with that Simon de. Manning who fol-
lowed Richard the Lion Hearted into

Mr. George Turnbull, an American
writer, many years a resident of Lon
don, has started an amusing contro-
Versy by asserting that as the equal
ity OF the sexes Is now accepted, more
attention should be given at wed
dings to the appearance and general
attributes of the bridegroom. Hither-
to every detail of the brides costume
Is minutely described from veil to
slipper buckles, but the bridegroom,
certainly an all-important figure on
such occasion. Is dismissed with a
bare mention of his name and some
times even that is SO sandwiched
with best man and ushers that only
careful reading disentangles his
identity. Mr.. Turnbull presents a sur

preferences may be expressed in his
waistcoat, his spats and boutonniere

high silk hat or topper is invariably
worn whether the wedding be before
noon or long after the orb of day has

waistcoat, with gloves, spats and
hosiery Of the same hue, and that he
was most graceful in handing the
wedding ring, in leading the pageant
down the aisle, etc"
