Two of the three splendid new churches on the West Side will be opened for service on the first Sunday in October. These are the Knox memorial Reformed, the Universalist Divine Paternity and the Washington Heights Baptist. They are three of the finest churches built in New York for many years and represent an outlay of at least $1,000,000. Riverside Baptist Church, on Amsterdam avenue, at Ninety-second street, is still hearing candidates for its pulpit. The Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix, rector of Trinity Parish, has invited the rectors of other Trinity parishes to take the services at St. Agnes' Episcopal Chapel, on Ninety-second street, near Columbus avenue, during September. it will be some time before a rector is selected to succeed the late Rev. Dr. Bradley, but it is generally believed that he will be an entirely new man to Trinity Parish and that none of the present rectors will be transferred. St. Agnes', although the newest, is regarded as one of the most desirable of the Trinity preferment's.

The date set for the laying of the cornerstone of the Roman Catholic Church of the Holy Rosary in East One Hundred and Nineteenth street, between First and Second Avenues, is Sunday, October 2, the feast of the Holy Rosary. The many delays on the part of the architects have retarded work upon the church. The plans, which were filed a few days ago, call for a one story brick building, 87x98.7 feet, to cost $90,000.
