which the congregation continued
to worship until the year 1856 when
the present attractive and commo-
diOus church edifice was built and
later dedicated by Bishop Scott in
February, 1857.
Consequent upon the fall of the
spire in 1879 and it's need of repair,
the entire church was renovated
and improved in 1880 at a cost of
$1,000. Continuous services have
been held in this old historic
church from the day of it's dedica-
ton to the present. The town of
Frederick and Trinity Church are
very closely identified with the IL
lustrOus history of the Cradle of
MethOdism" - Barratt's Chapel,
which is located just one mile
north of the town.
Before the year 1880, or the
building of Barratt's Chapel, there
was preaching in this neighbor-
hood, for Judge Barratt owed his
conversion and the subsequent
building of the Chapel to it. 1t is
quite probable that as early as 1878,
this territory was connected with
Baltimore Circuit and served by
Francis Asbury, Robert Straw
bridge, Abraham Whitworth and
Joseph Yearbry. In about the year
1779-17S0-this entire territory
embracing the State of Delaware
was designated the Delaware Cir
cult and the preachers were Fran
els Asbury, Caleb B. Pedicord.
Freeborn Garrettson, Lewis Alfrey.
Mecaijah Debruler and joseph
Cromwell. In all the records where
different circuits are mentioned
from Baltimore down to Frederick
Circuit and subsequently a station
all the preachers of that period are
mentioned as pastors of Frederica
Frederick is indeed justly proud of
its illustrOus Methodist heritage.
The public is cordially invited to
attend this service.

Auto Racing World
Mourns Mays Death
In California Crash
Ay the Assoeiofsd Prs,s

DEL MAR, Calf, Nov. T.
Death struck Rex Mays, one of
the great automobile speed kings,
IN a flash Of roaring steel here
yesterday.
His death on the 18th lap Of a
100-mile big-car American Auto
mobile Association race brought
sorrow to the auto racing world.
1T seems impossible that some
thing like that could have hap
pened to as fine a driver as Rex"
said Wilbur Shaw, Indianapolis
motor speedway president.
Similar expressions came from
others who had known him in
timately or raced with him.
Mays was roaring around the
south turn of the 1-mile track,
second to Jim Davies of Los An
geles. when something went
wrong.
The nearest to official accounts
"a deputy sheriff's report) was
that Mays car colhded with one
driven by Johnny Parsons of Los
angeles.
Thrown From Car.
Mays was thrown from the
speeding machine as it turned
over and over and crashed through
the infield rail. d,
The $4,000 spectators saw his
body hurled onto the middle Of
the track and then flung up again
as another car hit it. A second
car was believed to have struck
him.
"He was all crushed up" said
Deputy Coroner Dave Bone. He
was undoubtedly killed on the
spot"
After the track was cleared, the
race went on. with Davies winning
In hour 10 minutes 17.41 seconds.
Eleven Of the II starters finished.
The race, the first held at Del
Mar, was on the track more widely
known for its annual horse races.
Mays was the AAA national
champion in 1940-1 and holder of
a number of track records.
He raced IL times in the 500
mile Indianapolis classic. Though
he never managed to win at In
dianapolis, he finished second inI
1910 and 1941. He was the only
driver to gain the pole position
four times with best qualifying
speed.
His age was listed as "a in AAA
biographical material but close
friends said he was SO.
Was War Ferry Pilot.
During World War II Mays was
ferry pilot for the Army's Air
Transport Command.
Born in Riverside, Calf, Mays
began his racing career in 1881
with Mel Hansen, one of his best
friends. Hansen drove Mays
midget cars until a crash on the
