PERSONAL FEELING

either one way or the other should not enter into the question, They had, however, not to consider the feelings of any individuals when the future of the church was at stake. The Church Body, without making any attempt what- ever to secure a suitable saccessor, appointed, one-locally, One would have thought that act- ing entirely alone they would have recognised the needs of the Cathedral and made every provision for an even more successful future than the past had been. But on their own admission they made absolutely no attempt to go outside the Colony, and not content with depriving the Scatholders, and Subscribers of their just privilege in one case, they went further, and placed in the hands of the new chaplain the engagement of a junior chaplaip. In the case of the second chaplain he would suggest that any authority for engagement given should be at once revoked by telegram. The salary of the second chaplain should be increased so as to secure a fit and competent man, a good preacher, and possessing musical qualifications. If this were not done they must be prepared to face serious contingencies, which threatened the existence of the Church, and which must be apparent to every mind.

Mr. Master seconded.

MARRIED. SINGLE. Mr. Cox said he had been connected with the Cathedral for 40 years, and he regretted very much any difference of opinion in the matter of these proceedings. In such things as

proposed the resolution, which would be a very cruel one in its bearing towards the Church Body if carried, had come there with a nicely- prepared speech, a fact which gave him an advantage over such speakers as himself. Re- ferring to correspondence which had appeared in the morning paper, especially with reference" to one is that morning's issue of the Daily Press signed "Church Goer" which attacked the Hishop, Mr. Goodman dremed it most unfair tu influence be this means the minds of the Seatholders and Subscribers, and challenged the writer if he were present to declare himself, and to say what he had to say openly. It might have been a very brilliant letter, but it was-a rather shabby trick.

Mr. Master said they did not intend to ques- tion the right of the Church Body under the Ordinance to appoint a chaplain, but he thought that body might have consulted the Seat holders and Subscribers in the matter if op no ather ground than that of expediency. The Seatbolders and Subscribers had nowadays to provide the funds necessary for carrying on the church, and that being so was it not reasonable to consult them in such a matter as the appointment of a senior chaplain?

THE ONE SPECIAL SUBJECT in his opinion that thy should have been con-. sulted upon. He had no personal feeling against Mr. Johnson, but as he had already stated, from the point of view of expediency the Church Body would have done letter had they consulted the Seatholders and the resolution now before the meeting was to place on record their opinion that they ought not always to be kept out in the cold and never given any voice in church matters.

TRAINING NOTES.

WEDNESDAY'S GALLOPS.

The course was well attended on Wednes day morning but the heavy mis: that overinid the track made it rather difficult to get the true times done by the various horses and ponies,

We could not help but contrast the difference in the "condition of the Walers and China ponies. The former are nearly 'all well forward but many have developed weaknesses, while the latter are, with a very few exceptions, on the big side and will take a lot of tuning Up with the work given them at present. They appear sound and are resolute gallopers if well shaken up, and we expect to see some good races from them.

Set did a good mile in 2 min. 32 secs. finishing well the last 4 mile in 35 secs.

Ifoodoo has seemingly recovered his form and covered the mile in 2 min. 8 secs. Hooded's condition can be always noted by the way in which he finishes, and if he is a bit off colour the final stretch is covered in anything but good style.

Mr. Kadoorie's skewbald griffin pony is the only animal he has a hope to win a race with.. He did the mile in 2.30 and the last quarter in 331

Old-Sinbad is going in great style and gal- loped a mile in 2 min. 26 sces. the last quarter

come and preach before the congregation, that the congregation might be able to make a definite selection of the preacher. With regard to the appointment of Mr. Johnson, he could not refrain from saying, although entertaining no personal feeling in the matter, that he con sidered that gentleman too young to be senior chaplain of St. John's Cathedral. In his ppinion It required a man of about 40 or 45, and married. He had great diffidence in rising to say what he said, but he had been compelled to state this expression of opinion. They wanted as a senior chaplain a good preacher

would have been the first to have turned round and said, 'You have done wrong. You had no business to call a meeting-you are respon." sible." Therefore it seemed to him that the Church Body did the only possible thing they could do in making the appointment without running the risk of incurring the petty spite of Seatholders or Subscribers,

Mr. Cunningham said he objected most emphatically to the term " petty spits" which had been used by two speakers. It was a ques- tion of principle, not of personality, as he was careful to state in his opening remarks. If it was any satisfaction to Mr. Goodman, who had looked repeatedly in his direction, he might also state he was not "Church Goer." Personally, he entertained no spite against any one in this matter nor against any one in the Cathedral (Applause.)

Mr. Goodman said he had hoped it would be 'unnecessary for him to say anything, but with regard to Mr. Johnson's appointment, person. ally he went to church to get some good and to come away a better man; and as long as the services were reasonably sensible he was con tent.
