The Cornell University Eight Sail
for Europe.
TO TAKE PART IN THE HENLEY RACES
A Great Crowd Gives Them Send
Off.
WHAT COACH COURTNEY SAYS

NEW YORK. May 29.-Cornell Univer-
sity's eight, which will compete in the
Henley regatta, sailed for England today
on board the American Line steamer Paris.
A great crowd went upon the steamer to
bid the oarsmen goodbye. Among the
early arrivals at the dock were Ex-Governor
Alonzo B. Cornell and Mrs. Cornell. The
latter carried a big American nag at
tached to a long mahogany pole and when
she reached the cabin gang-plank she cried
"I want to see my boys. for they are dear
to me-"
The crew and their companions were
soon presented to their distinguished Wis
itor, and TO the lapel of each of their jack
cts Mrs. Cornell pinned a diminutive Amer
lean flag, fastened with a silver pin, and
on each the donor in her own handwriting,
boys Of Cornell" She delivered short
address to them and prophesied that they
would come back with the colors of their
college flying triumphantly.
Courtney, the coach, on being asked his
opinion of the crews chances, said: Il
carnot say. The crew that wins that race
at Henley would come near winning any,
thing there is to be Iowed in Europe and
America. The toughest nut we will have
to crack is the Leander eight, composed
this year, believe, Of six Oxford and two
Cambridge Varsity oars. If we beat them
the eagle will certainly have a right to
scream
In answer to a question as to what kind
Of discipline would be maintained over the
crew while on board the Paris, Courtney
said: ANY one who thinks that these
young gentlemen and / are going across
the ocean on a picnic Is nightly mistaken
The boys will, when on sea, be under as
strict rules as on land. Their main exer-
else, fancy, will be plenty of walking, and
Lot much else. Anyhow. a weeks rest
won't do them bit of HARM
Immediately on reaching England the
boys will go into quarters to prepare for
the contest. They take with them two pa
per boats, weighing 30 pounds each, sixty
feet long and twenty-four inches beam.
The steamer w. G. Egerton. loaded with
friends of the young collegians accompa-
MED the Paris down the bay and past the
Narrows.
The makeup Of the crew is as follows:
Bow, F. B. Matthews. Buffalo; E. D. SPELL

A HEBREW CONFIRMATION.
Simple but Impressive Services ut the
Eighth Street Temple.


Eighth Street Temple.
Simple but most impressive were the ex-
ercises attending the confirmation of eleven
boys and girls at the Temple of Washing
ton Hebrew Congregation this morning. 1t
was the holiday of the Pentecost, and as
Is customary combinations are made on
this day. The temple was crowded with
the friends and relatives of the confirm
ants. The altar was tastefully decorated
with festoons of smilax and asparagus, with
red and white carnations, caught gracefully
here and there. Rabbi Stern officiated. as
sisted by Henry King, jr., president, and
NJ. Goldsmith, vice president.
AS soon as the regular services were con-
cluded, the confirmants marched to the
altar. There We're eleven of them; six girls
and five boys. The girls were dressed in
white and carried bouquets of white roses.
The boys were dressed in black and car
ried punches of white carnations.
First came the reading from the Torah,
the sacred scroll Exodus xix and Xxx: l to
10, were selected. The verses were read in
Hebrew by Jacob Spandau. Joseph Bend-
helm, Israel Baumgarten, Irving Wolff and
Eugene Luchs. Thelka Sondheimer deliv-
cred the opening prayer.
In a sweet voice full of pathos she pray
ed God to bless and preserve them. Hilda
jacob delivered the floral prayer, and at
its conclusion, the ark. in which is kept
the sacred scroll, was feStooned with
flowers. Belle Goldman advanced some
views on the Bible, and Joseph Bendheim
spoke of divine worship. THE handspring
of Virtue" was the theme Miriam Behrends
selected and her words were well chosen.
She maintained that kind and noble
heart is the handspring of all virtue.
Eugene Luchs spoke of THE Jew and
His Country and alter paying a noble
tribute to his race, spoke in patriotic terms
CT America and the American Jew. Israel
Baumgarten contributed an essay entitled
why We Remain jews" and Jacob Span
dau told what was expected after con1ir-
nation. May Sackerman offered a prayer,
and Theresa Solomon delivered the closing
prayer. During the exercises Rabbi Stern
questioned the confirmants on the chate-
csm. and they all showed a thorough
knowledge of their religion.
Rabbi Stern then addressed the confirm
ants. He told them 1t was through the
children that Judaism could live. They
were the suretieS of the religion, and he i'm
pressed them to guard well their sacred
trust. After being confirmed. the children
received the blessings of their parents and
the congratulations of their friends.
While there We're no combinations at
Adas Israel Synagogue. the feast of the
Pentecost was fittingly celebrated. Rabbi
Samuels offciated. and conducted the SER
vices according to the Torah. This is the
orthodox synagogue, and the feast will con-
tinue for two days.

MUST RING THE BELL.
AuctlOnccrs' Duty in Selling Propert
Defined.

Judge Kimball today rendered his decision
in the case of Messrs. Latimer x Morgan
auctioneers, charged with violating the po-
lice regulations in having bell sounded for
the purpose of advertising a sale.
Policeman Hunt of the first precinct
brought the charge several days ago, as
published in The Star at the time, and
counsel for the defendants moved the court
to quash the information. on the grounds
that the law legalizing the business and
requiring those engaged in it to take out
licenses also required the ringing Of the
bell During the course of the argument,
counsel said he thought that the failure Of
an auctioneer to ring a bell as provided in
the law might invalidate forced sale.
Judge Kimball considered the matter full
ly and today granted the motion to quash
This settles the question and determines
that the law under which the license was
granted, and which also deals with the
question of the ringing of the bell has not
been repealed. The regulation of the Com
missioners, the court held, was an unrea-
sonable one so far as it applies to auction
eerS,

DIVISION OF FUNDS.
A Conference of the Delegates From
the District.

A Conference of the Delegates From
the District.
A meeting was neld last evening at the
Church Of the Epiphany of the clerical and
lay delegates to the diocesan convention
from Washington and from Charles,
st. Mary's. Prince Georges and Mont
somery counties, Maryland. This is
the territory from which it is pro-
posed to constitute the new diocese of
Washington, and the meeting was held to
outline and discuss the position which
these delegates would take on the question
of division. Rev. DR.. John H. Elliott, rec
tor OF the Church of the Ascension, was
elected to preside over the meeting, and
Mr. Brown of Rock Creek Church officiated
as secretary. Rev. DIR. r. H. McKim of
the Church of the Epiphany offered a reso-
luton which was substantially to the ef-
feet that eff division of the diocese takes
place it is the sense of this meeting that
the new diocese will be entitled to receive
its share of the funds bequeathed to the
old diocese, and, inasmuch as 1t will be
responsible for one-thrd of the missionary
work. an equitable share would be one
third of the funds'
This resolution seemed to express the
feeling of the meeting, as did also a sec
ond resolution introduced by DR.. McKim,
which was as follows:
Resolved. That we favor the appoint
ment by the convention of a committee
composed equally of delegates from the
old and new dioceses respectively to con-
slider an equitable division of these funds
and to report to the convention at the
earliest moment
Division Favored.
1t was the general opinion Of the meet
ing that the basis of the resolution was
a Just one, inasmuch as about one-third
of the parishes of the present diocese of
Maryland and about one-third of the clergy
would be included in the new diocese,
which would also have about that proper
tion of missionary work to do. The two
resolutions were adopted after considerable
discussion, and it was voted to support
them in convention. DR.. Mckim also Of
fered a third resolution to the effect that
The meeting was in favor of the division
proposed last year. which would place
Washington and the four counties of Mary
land referred to in the new diocese.
William A. Meloy announced that ut O
meeting of laymen last Thursday 4 commit
tee had been instructed to draw iIp a reso-
luton expressive OF their feeling. and ne
read the resolution. which was as follows:
Resolved That the matter OF the Kerr

of twelve, to be appointed by the president
of the convention and 20 consist Of three
clergymen and three !aymen f:cIa each OF
