‘ A Clergyman on Church Fairs. ‘
There can be no reasonable objection
to cheerfulness in religion.
and awful solemnity is not an essential
element or an inevitable product of true
piety. But there are serious and
weighty objections to any and all per-
, formances by organized bodies of re-
ligious people that are calculated to
religion immoderately amus-
ing. '-.The Ben, William Bayard Hale,
rector of the Church of Our Savior, ‘in-
the delightful little town of Middlebor-
ough, Mass, cont: ibutes to the Forum
for this month an article which may be
profitably considered by conservative
Christians. Statistics gi-ven in the
Churchman s Almanac credit Mr. Hale
with exceptional success in his ministry.
He has changed a feeble missionzinto a
strong and prosperous parish. What
he says in condemnation of various
popular trays of raising funds for church
uses cannot, therefore, beset down to
the credit ofenvy. Mr. Hale had an
article in a former issue of the Forum
1'11 which at treated of the results of
sccnirianism in his own town. In the
article which we are now considering
he enlcavors to make sectarian'sm re-
sponsible for the. very objectionable
features which some religious bodies
introduce into their “entertainments"
for the benefit of their churches. He
assumes that, in places where one
church might get an adequate- support, ,
but where four are having a hard strug-.
gle for existence, there is axstrong
. temptation to resort to unworthy means
far bringi 112: in the people. ,
1ft: - Hale gives'his readers a few sam-
ples of the cases-which he 1m collected
and-they are more amazing than amusv
i211 .. He has received a. circular that
giv es the details of a forthcoming fail
for the benefit of “a group of ladies and
gentlemen who are pleased‘to dominate
themselves a ‘church. ’ ” It is, he adds,
‘a programme of ingenious devices for
obtaining money under false preten-
sce,’ ’und it acknowledgesthis by a quo-
tation from “Two Gentlemen of Ver-
ona," to the reflect that :1 church fair is
“an honorable kind of thievery.” And
he thinks that these endworse ways of
getiin ' a little money from worldly
pocketbooks are not sanctioned by the
. ugagc of the early church. They never

had a nlambake or a strawberry sociable
at Ephesus; St. Paul did not give ster-
c'Opticon lectures, St. Barnabas opera-
ting the lanterns; nor-is it clear that
St.‘Athanasius“ever arranged a kirmiss,
'11- broom‘drill, or ‘a pink tea.” But in
-. these modern days we are less scru-
[11110113.
Mr. Hale concludes that church fairs
are sometimes held in countries where
‘ there is, practically, but one church;
but here' in the United States, the land
ofmany sects, they have attained their
greatest prominence. If,-Ahe says, the
Baptists have a war concert, the Uni-
versalists alawn fete, and the Congre-
galleria-lists a Mrs. Jurley’s waxworks
show, then the Unitarians must give a
fancy dress ball, the Episcopalians a
cite chantant, and the Zion church a
cake walk. He states that at one church
fair barrels of beer were among the
prizes; another -' church included in its
fair programmeun impersonation of the
Bowery girl, and 11. skirt dance, another
one gave a living picture .show and an-
other soared into fume {in a perform;
Mr.
dale mentions various other amusing
devices, including a menagcrie of liv-
: ing'unimals and a Coxey seciable, and
‘lie decidedly disapproves of such forms
and phases of “religious amusement.”
It is possible that Mr. Halo is too
sweeping in his condemnation. There
are various innocent amusements that
may properly be utilized in raising fund
for religious work. Time is, also,
'much to be said in favor of supporting
more than one church in almost any
town. But religion 011th "be helped
by gambling at church fans, by living
picture exhibitions, by skirt dances, or
any other encroachment on the domain
‘of the variety theater.- There is abun-
dantscope for “Innocent merriment”
without resortingto such schemes.

Billy Ernst Makes a Manly Speech.
It was fifteen minutes after 8 o’clock
when Professor N ichols onStamford sat
down to the piano at the Norwalk
'Opera House last evening, and with
one of his inimical solos opened the sec-
ond athletic entertainment given under
the auspices of Professor George Yoe1;-.
ger and William Johnson.
Representatives of the manly art and
a large number of the sporting frater-
nity from Bridgeport, Stamford, Dan-
bury, New Canaan, Westport and
Greenwich as well as the South Nor-
walk Fish club who came up in a. spec-
ial Tramway car, were present to wit-
ness the set-to’s between the exponents
of boxing engaged by Messrs. Johnson
& Yoerger for the occasion. When the
curtain was rung up at 8.40 the Opera
House was crowed with an enthusiastic
audience and when Mr. Johnson stepped
to the footlight and introduced old re-
liable Dan McIntyre as master of cere-
monies with Frcd B. Coleman as time-
kecper, the house rang'with applause.
Referee McIntyre introduced Johu~
nie Morelock and Charley Matthews of
Danbury for the opening bout The
two gave a clever exhibition of friendly
sparring and were well received by the
audience.
They were followed by the Adelphi
quartette who 81111;; so so eetly that they
were called upon to respond to a triple
encore.
The next on the prog1 1m was a. friend-
ly go between Billy Fora yth of Dan-
bury and Tom McNicrny of Winnipauk
'The old veteran and the amateur gave
an excellent exhibitiOn and were warmly
applauded.
John Mulligan, of Brooklyn, was
then introduced and gave a. recitation
and sang a solo.
He was followed by Dutch Monahan
of South Norwalk and Morris Lane, 'of
Providence, R. I. in three friendly
rounds. The first was a good exhibi-
tion of a friendly go, both boxers giv-
ing and taking numerous love taps.
The second round was a repetition of
the first, but in the lhird both men
spared for wind and very few blows
were struck although Dutch gave the
best exhibition of boxing he ever did
in the ring.
The next on the programme was a
three round go between James Shepp
of South Norwulk and Jack Woods of
Br00klyn who is to fight Dun Keefe on
Friday next at the new Manhattan
club. This was the greatest bout of the
evening. The first round opened with
some lively hitting, Woods gaining a
knock down with a right- haud swing on
the side of Sheep’s head. In the sec-
ond round Shepp went at the Brooklyn
lad and delivered some telling blows.
In the third round he had Woods near-H
ly out when the gong struck.
Billy Hackett, of Danbury,w was next
introduced and sang several selections
in one of which he made a number of
local hits that were loudly applauded.
Fred McGirr, of Bridgenogrt and
Frank Patterson, of Brooklyn, were
then introduced and some excellent
sparring resulted, but as . Patterson
could use but one hand, the other being
crippled, the bout'W'as not as interest-
ing as it otherwise would have been.
The Adelphi quintette followed,
after which Joe Goetz, of Brooklyn,
gave a line exhibition of fancy club
swinging and globe balancing.
After the preliminaries Referee Mc-
Intyre announced the four-round wind-
up between Billy Ernst, of Brooklyn,
and Dan Keefe, of Greenwich. This
was to have been the event of the even-
ing, bift nature stepped in and planted
one of Job’s comforters on the right
forearm of Keefe which placed that
nervy young boxer 7107': do combat. He
appeared in the ring with his arm badly
swollen and a. large bandage encircled
the spot that must have given him ter-
rible pain throughout the four rounds. '
Ernst never looked better and his con-
dition was fit for a fight for life. His
exhibition of the manly art was so far.
ahead of that he gave on, his previous
appearance that he evidenced the fact
that he far‘outclessed Keefe.
When the gong struck both men faced
each other and it was quickly apparent
by the wild swings of Ernst that there
was to be nothing but a friendly go be-
tween the two. The four rounds gave
the audience a chance to compare the
two men, but it was a disapointment
that several in the crowd could not
withstand and they expressed them-
selves by hissing at the close of thelast
- round.
Ernst quickly stepped to the front of
the stage and raising his hand for. s:-
lence said, “ I' came _. ‘here from
Lynn after knocking out Flaherty, to
do a friendly turn for Messrs. Yoergcr
and Johnson. Had I wanted to be
mean I_ could easily have put Keefe out
as he only had one hand. I will box»
Keefe at 130 or 133 pound for any
amount of money he can raise.” This
manly speech . was applauded by 7 the
audience and Ernst retired and the ‘ex-
hibition was over. .

THEY ARE SAFE.
The Brundage' Brother‘s Have
a Lively Experience on
the Sound.
Caught in the Storm While Duck Shooting.
George and John ‘Brundage, sens of
Chauncey Bruudage of East Norwalk,
went out duck shooting Thursday, and
as up to this morning they had not re-
turned fears were entertained that their
boat, a 16- foot skiff, had been swamped
or carried out to sea. ' _
They were seen near Great Marsh
and also near Nauvoo island, Thursday
afternoon by an oysterman. A high
wind prevailed but the young men aged
respectivelv 18 and 25 years, appeared
to have control of their boat and in no
need of assistance.
Later the storm increased in its fury
and us since learned the craft was buf-
feted about by thc sea, that threatened
to swamp even larger craft. .
The father of the young men became
greatly worried over their prolonged
absence, and made every effort to lo-
cate them, or gain’some intelligence of
their having been seen. .
It was generally thought that they
had met death as it was not believed
that their craft could possibly weather
the severe storm that prevailed all day
yesterday. »
The first tidings the anxious father
and friends had of the missing menwus
this morning when Thomas Smith in-
formed Mr. Brundage that his sons
were safe and sound at the Smith Is-
land lighthouse, he having seen them
as' he was returning from his oyster
grounds in his boat.
So far as can be learned the young
men while out got caught in the storm,
and not daring to risk the chances: of
getting home in_their frail craft went
ashore at Smith’s island, where they
have since been, ignor‘ant of the alarm
their absence has caused their friends,
and awaiting an opportunity, to return.
They intended, so Mr. Smith stated,
starting for home this afternoon.

Bramly Out of Cider.
It having been reported in Washing-
ton that some of the fdrmers in the
neighborhood of. New London are mak-
ing brandy out of their cider without ,,
paying any internal revenue tax, the
treasury department has sent two of its
secret service men there to investigate
and take action if necessary. It is said
that this business of making brandy in
small quantitiés has been going on un-
disturbed for ten years, but as'it is
growing, and as the matter has been
called officially to the attention of the
department at Washington it was be-
lieved to be advisable to send special
agents to suppress whatever illicit di 8-
tilling they might discover.
