BAPTIST CHURCH BURNED
 IN NEW LONDON. Montauk Avenue Church Totally De- stroyed-S30, 900 Loss.

The Montauk avenue Baptist church in New London was completely de- stroyed by fire Thursday morning. Fire was discovered in the upper part of the building soon after o'clock. and in spite of the efforts of the whole department, the structure was entirely destroyed, the parsonage roof was also partly burned off. and the interior of the building damaged by water, in- volving loss on both structures of about $50, 900. Roofs of eight other houses. one in Ocean avenue, more than two blocks away, were fired by sparks from the burning church, bat fortunately were put out without se- rious damage.
 The most plausible theory of -he cause of the fire is that it was due to defective electric wire insulation. Those who had a chance to look into the au-- ditorium saw fire in the ceiling around a chandelier. Above this ceiling was a spacious attic, ventilated by Louvre windows. Here pigeons, English star iings and sparrows nestled and that the birds disturbed the wire insulation is considered probable.
 Rev. Henry Francis Adams. pastor of the church. who lived in the upper tenement of the parsonage. saw smoke issuing from a peak of the roof short ly after SIS o'clock.
 At 7.50 the church had been con- sumed to the extent that the firemen by means of ropes could pull down sections of the weakened walls whi ch were in danger of falling. Three DOT tions of the walls, the outward DOT tion of the tower and a chimney, were torn down.
 The church and the parsonage were built at an approximate cost of S20.000 ten years ago. This did not include the cost of the organ, which was re- moved to the church from the old Second Baptist church in Union street, which the organization succeeded Since erection, several thousand dol lars outlay had been made on furnish ings and alterations, the property had been improved extensively and its res toration and the repair of damaged property near by is estimated to entail an expenditure of S30,000 or over
 The church and the parsonage were insured for s15,000; the church for $12,000 and the parsonage for S3,0O0. This amount of insurance protects the mortgage on the entire property of S12.500. A first mortgage of $10,000 IS held by Louis c. Jones of San Diego, Cal.

Blue Far from Finished.

The Yale eight is far from this hn- ished condition. It is yet adapting itself to a makeup which was revised twice this week. and to a new shell, the rigging of which is not yet fully adjusted to the physical measurements of the members of the crew. The blade work has shown constant im- provement since the crew came here, but there is still a hang on the catch and failure to produce smooth row ing when the stroke is raised. The disparity in form is greater between the second crews. Yale's reserve boat Is still propelled rather raggedly, while Haryard's displays the same unity that ican Henley in Philadelphia. Although the freshman eights have hardly yet begun their time rowing. Yale's is clearly up to the standard, while Har- yards has not yet assumed final form. Two days after its arrival at Gales Ferry it was shaken up. four oarsmen being shifted. but it is improving daily and has great possibilities.
 Yale, Crews Losing Weight.
 The stiff daily programme to which Coach Nickalls is subjecting the Yale crews is seen in their loss of weight. They have dropped an average of more than two pounds since their arrival. Nickalls gets the varsity oarsmen out for pair-oar work mornings and for a ten to twelve mile row evenings. and this schedule will be maintained till next week Saturday, when, by com mon consent. longtime rows on the Thames will cease at both Yale and Harvard and five days will be occu- pied with mere conditioning spins. in which Coaches Wray and Nickalls de- vote their attention to correcting in dividual faults.
 The Harvard crews that meet the three Yale eights in the two varsity and freshman races will be boated in the American-built and rigged shells and will use American oars. This programme will also be followed by Giannini, the Yale freshman coach, while the two varsity eights will use shells rigged with English thole pins. Indications are that the three eights at Vale will use shells built by Davy, the Harvard boat builder. although the freshmen have been seated in a Ward boat part of the time.
