Cox, Dean of the Cathedral of the incarnation of Harden City, who wan present as the representative of lilHtmp Lit tit-John, and who read a roiiKra tulut.jry letter from him. The Itev. Dr. Hawkins, reotor of the mother arlsh of St. Mark's, was next Introduced.

r. Huskins recounted his minl-t --ucea of the cburi-h, and told how Christ Church was formed, ami the nun who were Instrumental In Its organization. The next upeaker was the Hev. Sylvester Malwne. one of the Regents of the State Vnlverslty, who received an ovation as Dr.

Darlington escorted him to the platform. Father Malone prefaced his remarks by congratulating the parishioners of Christ Church and expreHsir.g his warmest thanks for the reception accorded to The fact that a man does not worship at the same altar as 1 do," said the Venerable clergyman. 1.4 no reason why he should not have my sympathy, love, and atniatanie, becaupo he Is a child of Ciod and entitled to all the sympathy and that one man ouKht to have for Knottier. No matter what ministrations we are engaged in, whether we are Jews, f'rot-vstants, or Itoiuan Catholics, we are aiming at the same end." Father Malone then eulogized the Rev. Joseph Keyiiolus, who was the lirst pastor of Christ Church.

He referred to him aa an "admirable man. cultured, sympathetic, liberal, and "educated, who was a blessing to the community. Dr. partridge, his suc-. tessor," continued Father Malone, was Incapable of saying- a bad word of any one.

He was outsoken. frank, tender, and. although we differed on matters of religion, often walked urni in arm together when bigotry was rampaJit everywhere. and people were wondering to see a Roman Catholic clergyman walking arm In arm with ne of a different faith." Father Malone was followed by his friend, the Hev. J.

D. Wells, who has been pastor of the South Third Street Presbyterian Church for nearly fifty years. The Idea- which culminated in the organization of Christ Church originated fifty JtJrn utolast Sunday, when Beven members of St. Mark'a Church met and decided to organize a new- church to be called Christ St wax ut that time a very hlh church, and ft-vera I members de- than the restrictions of St. Mark 8 afforded them.

In May. the church wus formally organized. It met In Dutch Reformed Church, at South Second rtiTl5nJ urord Avenue, now called the AiTI Ht.fo""""'d Church, and Bituated at Clvrner Street and Bedford Avenue The new organization decided to have Instrumental music, and to that end purchased an Instrument called a seraphlne watt notes thev aang, the f.M The young- church J-hapel at South Seventh nas since le- fy.1?11 of rhrlt Church n-u in ine mi. 1.1 le of vast HebU sTlfifl i-Hlled the "Church of the Fields" A walk led to it. and the chapel at once became jn.pular with the younger peo- Th ii 2i lorming.

Alfred THE SOCIAL WOBLV. It very evident that the Uat four waaka of th praaent asason of octal dolngt will he very much gayer tbaa th past eight weeka. The Charity Ball, en Jan. at th Metropolitan Opera House; th ball which Perry Belmont will civ on Jan. S7 at hi residence.

UA Fifth Avenue; Mrs. Aator reception, next Man day, and ber hall, on the night cf Feb. I. and th everal private dance which are announced, will do much to redeem the unusual dullneas of the past few weeka Mrs. Astor.

by the way, will glv another very fine dinner tonight, when, as la customary at her dinner parties, there will ha twenty-four a-ueats. Mra. Aator friends are -ery naturally looking- forward to the big- ball which Is to no given On the night of Feb. 3. Th magnificent art fallery of Mrs.

Aator new house will be used for the ballroom. The exact number of carda to be aent out la not known, but they will probably number many hundreda Mrs. Astors marble palace, although needing no additional decorations, will ba bedecked with flowers from the Aator conaervatories at Fern-cliff, near Ithinebeck, N. Y. No finer flowers are to found In any conservatories in this country.

Th Superintendent of these conservatories is specially proud of the violets they produce, and this year they are said to be particularly fine. As this is ona of Mrs. Astors favorite flowers, her residence on the night of the ball will undoubtedly be superbly decorated with great clusters of them. Th ball to be given by Perry Belmont next Monday night will be on of the chief social Incident of the season. The residence occupied for many years by the former Mme.

da Barrios, and now by Mr. Is very spacious, and has fine ballroom. Mr. Belmont leased this residence about two years ago, and sublet it for a portion of last. Autumn to Mr.

and Mrs. John 11. McLean. Bachelors who occupy houses of their own are very few, but Mr. Belmont has a fondness for entertaining, and he aeta an excellent example to the other wealthy bachelors of this city.

The arrangements for the ball will be even more lavish than for other entertainments given by Mr. Belmont in the past. Mrs. August Belmont, one of the most charming of New-York's matrons, will receive her brother-in-law's guests. Mrs.

Frederic N. Goddard. it is very evident, will not find it necessary to remain at home after to-day to receive applications for boxes at the annual Charity Ball, which will take piace next week. Tub Niw-York Times of Sunday contained a list of box-holders, and at that 'time only three parterre boxes remained unsold. The list of purchasers la a much more representative one, socially, than any list for tho past ten years, and it Is very evident tbat the expectations that the ball this year will be the largest given in many seasons are destined to ba fulfilled.

The managers now have no fear for the success of the hall financially and socially, and they express themselves as being- greatly delighted at the outcome of their efforts. Alexander Had-den has formed a Committee of Floor Managers composed of the best-known young men in New-York society. A number of the young men who promised to assist at the ball given last year made excuses at the last moment and did not appear. This year Mr. Hadden decided not to extend Invitations to them, and he has selected young men' upon whom he can rely.

Among them will be Normand De R. Whltehouse, who has arrived from Europe Juat ln time to be of aervlce; Edward de Peyater Livingston. Schuyler Schleffelin, QrenvUle B. W'lnthrop. James De Wolfe Cutting-, A.

New-bold Morris, T. J. Oakley Rhine-lander, J. Langdon Erving, Harry Palham Robblns. J.

O. Phelps Stokes, Edwin A. S. Lewis. P.

Bradlee Strong. Charles Apple-ton. Walter O. Gurnee. third.

Francis G. Landon, and others equally prominent ln the social world. One of the delightful social gatherings tonight will be the meeting- of Mrs. John T. Hall's cancing- class.

This class has been moat successful for several seasons, which is not so surprising, for Mra Hall has always had the reputation of being a splendid organizer. It is unfortunate that this charming woman, owing- to the fact that she Is in mourning, is unable to participate this season in these functions. At the dance to-night the cotillion will be led by John B. Ogden, who will have for bis partner Miss Emily Delafleld, a daughter of Dr. and Mrs.

Francis Delafleld. The dance of this class on Feb. 4 will not ba the final one for thia season, as a supplementary dance will be given on April 4. To the regret of the young people who are so fortunate as to ba members of the dancing class organized by Mrs. Henry Brevoort Kane, Mrs.

Archibald A. Watson and Mrs. George A. Trowbridge, the final dance of this season took place last night at Sherry's. Of the 150 members of the class only a few were absent.

Dr. W. L. Armstrong. W.

B. Trowbridge, Archibald A. Watson. Lewis M. Greer, Henry B.

Kane, and Georga D. Cross were members of the Floor Committee. The cotillion was led by Edward C. Hartshorne. The favors were useful and ornamental, but not expensive.

This class, it la understood, will be reorganized for next year. The members are endeavoring to induce Mrs. Kane and her associate patronesses to give a supplementary dance at the end of Lent. Mrs. Archibald Paull Mitchell of 33 West Seventy-first Street will give one of th largest receptlona of the week on next Saturday afternoon.

The drawing- rooms of her house, which are dona ln gray and silver, will ba prettily decorated with pink and white roses and tropical planta Mrs. Mitchell has given aeveral small enter-talnmenta thia season, but the affair set for Saturday will be the first of her large functions. She will be assisted In receiving by a number of charming matrons and maids, and there will ba som excellent music and a fin collation, The second dance of th season of the Tuesday Evening; Class will take place at th Hotel Nevada to-night. Th chaperons at this entertainment will be Mra Henry Appllngton. Mra Gustav Helmstet-ter.
