Success ill w
Matinee Race

Iietiy Contested Glasses
Won by, iieiden Bey, Kitty
and Grey tilde—Runaway
Added to the Excitement
of the Season‘s first
Meeting

The matinee half—mile races held at
the Norwalk Fair Grounds, Saturday
afternoon, were successful from start
to finish and were all hotly contested.
The 2:18 class race was won by Bel~
den Boy, owned by David Jeuks, of
NorWalk. time lzitit. The 2:40 class
was won by R. louden's brown mare
Kitty Williams, the best time in the
three heats being 1:13”. The coil.
race was won by l. G. Boston‘s Grey
Fillle; time. 1:30.

The races in the 3:18 class were the
exciting ones of the day, and there
were probably ten or more scores be-
fore the animals finally got away on
the last best. .The first two heats in
this race were won straight and easily
by Thomas Quinlan's bay gelding C.
C. 0., his best time being 1:13%.
Three C.’s got away better on the
start anda led the field all the way
around the track without breaking.
Three C's trotting was of a fine order,
but the animal was not in the best‘of
condition, being agtrlfie too fast to hold
the pace set in the first two heats.
finishing second in the third heat.
third in the fourth heat. and fourth in
the fifth heat. 1. 0. Hamilton. who
drove Three C.'s, managed to get into
line on the last heat and whipped him
under the wire in second place. The
last four heats were won straight by
Jenks's Beldcn Boy, though Three C.'s
lost the last by only about a neck.

The firstheat was an exciting one
in the fact that a runaway occurred.
Eli Mead. of Westport, was delving h'is
H. M. B. P., who got the bit in her
teeth and started a running race ar-
ound the track. Mend could not get
his animal utidcr control until she had
gone twice around the track on a run.

lnterestiagService Held
in St. Mary's Church. last
Night. with Sermon by the
Pastor. Rev. .I. ll. O'Don-
nell. and Spheial Music

The 'Rev. James H. . O'Donnell
preached a very eloquent and patriotic
sermon, last night. to the members of
Buckingham Pout. G. A. R.. the occa-
sion being the visit of the members
to St. Mary's Church, upon the invita-
tion of the rector.

The Civil War veterans are becom-
ing fewer each year. but despite this
fact. there was a large representation
of members of the local Grand Army
Post. last night. Between fifty and six-
ty took part in march from the pest
rooms in Wall street, to the chdrch.
and others for whom the march was
too much of a task. fell in line near
the church. In addition there were
many members of Buckingham Wom-
en's Rclief Corps in attendance.

The Grand Amy men occupied seats
on either side of the center aisle. at
the front of the church. The elaborate
musical program. published in Satur-
day's Sentinel. was beautifully render-
ed. reflecting much credit on Organist
Edward F. Hands and the members of
the choir. The oifertory solo. Gou-
nod's "Abid With Me." by Miss Marie
Norton, was especially effective.

The Rev. John C. Fogsrty was cele.
brant of the vesper service. The Rev.
William Mailer, D. D.. pastor of St.
Joseph's Church, South Norwalk. was
also in the sanctuary. Father O‘Don-
nell preached after the Magnificat was
sung.

The altar was very handsomely dec-
orated for the occasion with colored
lights. fiowers. etc. Father O‘Donnell
spoke as follows, the subject of his ser-
mon, after his talk especially to Grand
Army men. being “Wordllness:"

"Love not the world. nor the things
which are in the world. If any man
love the world, the charity of the
Father Is not in him. For all that is
in the world is the concuplsonce of
the flesh, and th concuplsence of use
eyes and the pri of life, which Is
not of the Father, but Is of the world.
And tho‘world passeth away. and the
.oucupisencc thereof: but he that doth
the will of God, abideth forever."

I St. John 2. 15-17.
Veterans of the Grand Army:

It is a gratification. I assure you, to
«also my voice in praise of those her-
oic men, who in response to the stern
call of duty, went cheerfully to the
trout in the dark'days of the early
.ixties to battle for the preservation
of this nation. and. if necessary. to
lay down their lives on Southern bat-
tlefields that those states should re-
main one and inseparable. It is a
pleasure to mingle our words with the
universal refrain that wells up from
millions of hearts at this time in recog-
nitionof loyal service. of unchallenged
patriotism. of hardships borne of mar-
tyr-like suffering. of generous blood
spilled and of unwavering confidence
or the ultimate success of a transcen-
dent cause. It is our duty. and one
cheerfully recognised, to keep fresh in
memory the valorous deeds of these.
whose names are inscribed upon the
nation’s soil. It is for us to transmit
to future generations the record that is
our proud possession. and which forms
such brilliant chapters In the glorious
history of this republic.

The names of our heroes—and whe-
ther they suffered the privations of
war in the ranks burdened with knap
sack and musket, or whether they led
armies to victory, all were heroes—
‘were not born to die.‘ They will live
In history even as those whose deeds
are the glory of the Grecian and Ro-
man name. Though centuries of time
are behind us we are as familiar Wliil
the names and deeds of Caesar and
Alexander. of Scipio and Hannibal as
with Austerlita and Waterloo, Magen-
ta and Trafalgar. The deeds that im-
mortalized the Pass of Thermopyiae
are as vivid in the minds of our pupils
as are the events that brought ihe Dic-
tator of Europe. the victim of Water-
loo. a humiliated captive to the ocean-
washed rock of St. Helena. And are
we to believe that the names ofGrant

crack Bronx organisation. from New

by only one run, six to five. In the
seventh tuning the Bronx players suc-
ceeded in tying the score, and there
was apprehension on the part of the
home motors that they might win the
game. but one run secured in the
eighth inning by the R and G's settled
the matter. The first run was secur-
