ment between himself and wife. Rev.
Mr.. Race said:
The matter between Mrs. Race and
myself mas been settled and nothing
more is to be said. AT the consulta-
tion before the perfunctory hearing
Saturday afternoon, ! fought for the
letters in the hands OF my wife as a
matter Of principle They contained
nothing against me and were Of little
Importance. But was OF the opinion
that they should be put back into my
possession. However. this matter has
come to an end and | can get the letters
whenever ! wish them"
Marital Troubles Over.
! OF his future the minister said: Il
have neither set the time when | shall
leave Cambridge or the place where l
win 90. There is plenty OF time and
! will aot fully make up my mind be-
fore next week. ] do not know whether
f will go to England or stay in the
/ United States. This remains to be seen
My wife and | have tentative plans,
but have not reached decision. There
4 IS nothing more TO be said Of either the
/ past Of the future
1 From all appearance the marital
troubles Of the clergyman and his wife
4 have come to an end and they are pre-
/ pared TO live happily together. The
citizens here, following the agreement
of the couple, have almost forgotten the
entire affair and have changed the topic
of their conversation back to politics.
Judge W. L. Henry, who was counsel
1 for Rev Mr.. Race, stated that the mat
ter had reached an end.
There is nothing more to be said"
said he. "AIr. and Mrs. Race have
agreed to live together and, at the re-
quest OF the couple, the court gave the
/ children into the Joint custody Of the
parents. From what ] see there will
/ be no more discussion of the affair
which came to an end at the signing
Of the agreement"
I State Comptroller Emerson G. Har-
rington was the attorney for MIS-. Race.
4 There were no services in Christ
Church yesterday. On Saturday it was
4 believed that a retired minister, Rev.
( Borden Smith. formerly Of Brooklyn,
I'M. ", but who now lives in Talbot
eouRty, would nll the pulpit. However,
/ it was stated that there would be no
services.
The vestrymcn Of the church have
not as vet considered the calling OF
another rector. The affair which has
inst closed came and they have mad
1 little time to think Of a new minister.
One Of the former vestrvInen stated
4 that he believed that it would be some
time before the pulpit would be filed
permanently. The pulpit up to that
! time will be filled by ministers from
I this section Of the country. The bishop
/ Of the Diocese Of Easton has not come
to Cambridge as yet. 1t is not known
whether he will come here or not. From
what can be learned the future OF the
Rev. Mr.. Race has not been hurt. He IS
anxious to start life over again in
some other place and is sure that he
would succeed. He stated Saturday that
he would not leave the ministry, but
would continue his same work. Mr.
Race is from England, where he was
educated in several of the finest schools.
His wife is also from the same coun
trv and is well educated. Since Mr.
Race has been at Christ Church it has
grown wonderfully. All the parishioners
say that he has done good work and u
an excellent preacher.
The minister said Saturday that the
success OF his past work would help
him in the future.
