Father Quinn thought of the fishermen who went out upon Galway Bay in wretched, unsubstantial tarred-canvas boats- the only boats they could afford.

...wiggled the hairs on its lip. This stranger loved horses. He was, in fact Bishop William Thomas Manning who had gone with one of his daughters (Frances) to the opening of the second yearly Cathedral Horse Show. Earnings of the show fortify the endowment of the Sportsmen's Bay in the Episcopal Cathedral of St. John the Divine,* which under Bishop Manning's own sight has been raising its gorgeous walls on Manhattan's heights. The Bishop, at the Cathedral Horse Show, made plain his pleasure with sports. "The horse show is a real tribute to sport...
