The second day of the New York diocese Protestant Episcopal convention opened at the Church of the Incarnation on Madison Avenue. The election of the diocesan standing committee was contested with a split ticket opposing the re election of last year’s committee due to the ordination of Rev. Dr. Priges. The old committee was renominated and re elected. Col. William Jay was chosen as a trustee of the episcopal fund to succeed Cornelius Vanderbilt. The report on marriage, divorce and Sunday observance endorsed Bishop Potter’s views, condemning Sunday bicycle riding, golf and frivolous evening entertainments with music.
