YALE WINS HER SPURS.
Defeating tho Pennsylvania University

Defeating tho PonnSylvan1a Un1v0rS1ty
 on the Thames i'm 21 m. 1915 g..
 NEW LONDON, Conn.,, June 23.-The weather and conditions were perfect yesterday, and Yale and the University of Pennsylvania varsity crews met in their annual contest. Yale won easily by twelve boat lengths. At the start at 6:19 80 Pennsylvania took the water first, and for first half mile she led by half a boats length, but Yale with it's steady sweeping stroke gradually forged ahead. and at the mile flag was clear boat length ahead. From this on the race was uninterest- ing; the Yale men dropping their stroke from 32 to 34 per minute. The Quakers kept 34 gait. The only incident during the contest was when the yacht Arrow drifted across the course and caused the Yale crew to steer close to Groton shore to avoid collision. When at the half mile flag the Columbia Freshmen crew tried it's speed with the Yale crew, and was badly til ed out before the 1-2 m.le flag was reached. The Yale crew crossed the fln- sh line in 21 III. 19 1-2 S.; Pennsylvania's time, 21 m. 59 1-2s s. The officials were Alfred Cowles, Jr., of Yale, referee; R. J. Cook, Yale, judge on boat. and George Adee, time keeper; for Pennsylvania, Charles Moves acted as judge, with Mir. Hunter as time keeper. Tho race was followed by several excursion steamers, also by tho observation r...n, which was taxed to its utmost capacity. Ii was the fastest crew ever sent to the Thames by the Pennsylvanians.

The number of fatal accidents near Stamfo.d of late has attracted consid- erable attention, bat in most instances they haye resulted from the earelessness of the victims rather than from any fault of the railroad people.

PHILADELPHIA, June 23.-Right Rev. Bishop o. w. Whitaker yesterday rendered his di- cision upon tho testimony and findings of the ecclesiastical court in the trial of Rev. Howard T. Widdemer on the charge of vio- lating the canons of the Protestent Episcopal Church in marrying the second time after having obtained divorce from his first wife upon ground other than infldelity, and also upon the charge that Widdemer deceived the late Bishop Stevens by informing him that the divorce was obtained on the ground of inf1 delity, when the records of the Superior Court of New Haven County, Conn.,, show that it was granted on the ground of wilful assertion for more than three years. The Bishop de- cides that the Rev. MT. Widdemer is guilty, and imposes upon him sentence of suspen- sion from his pastorial functions until his relations with ti' present Mrs. Widdemer are severed, provided that the suspension shall | not continue longer than five years.
