George E. Hill of Stamford, who was awarded the Townsend prize for the best oration at the Yale Law School Commencement, was admitted to the bar yesterday.

Tickets for. the; YALE-HARVARD RAGE. The Great Boat Race Won By Har- vard by Four Lengths. ‘ NEw’LONDON, Conn., June 26.—Early this morning the city began to fill up and at 10 o’clock there was an enor- mous crowd here. Greater it is be- lieved than was ever attracted before by a Yale-Harvard race. Every in- coming train and boat was loaded down with people from all parts of the state. It is estimated that fully 6,000 people besides the Yale men came from New Haven. The steamers, Elm City, Mar- garet, several tugs and oyster boats bringing all they could accmomodate. The New York and Boston contingent arrived bright and early and then things assumed a lively air. The bet- ting. which has inot been at all brisk until this morning, then began to get lively and several, thousand dollars were posted at the Crock- er House. While Yale has been the favorite all the week at the rate of 5 to 4 with few takers, the arrival of the great crowd this morning seemed to give the Yale sympathizers more confidence, as 10 to 6, went begging for takers. At 9 o’clock the conditions were very favorable for the race and it will un- doubtedly be rowed at the appointed hour. and only a light breeze was stirring. There seemed then to be no question that the race would be rowed at 11:30. HARVARD wINs.

Frank Wilcox last evening was coup- ling cars at the HousatOnic freight yard, Bridgeport, when two cars came together with a crash, pinning his right arm.

The News says: A state of affairs is existing which necessitates a settlement before the factory can make any money and prosper. The trouble seems to be with the heads of the concern who cannot agree on a method of conducting the business,- which jeopardizes what could be a prosperous manufacturing concern.

Chief,fAIbert DeForest Removed by the Court Of Burgesses. Officer John H.Gormley Promoted. It was just five minutes after eight last evening when Warden Keeler called the Court Of Burgesses to order to finish the police investigation. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The bill of John Ed- munds-amounting to $145.31, was, upon motion-Of Burgess Bowe, ordered paid. The Warden then read an invitation from the O. U. A. M. inviting the court to be. present at the Over River school at 2 ptm. July 4th, to witness the flag raising, 5' which was accepted. This finished-the new business'~before the courtfiind the police matter was taken up, Warden Keeler reading the follow- ing letter from Oflicer McCarthy : Tothe Warden and Court of Bur- gessesw. GENTLEHEN :—Please accept my res- ignation as policeman Of the Borough of Norwalk. You sawgfit to suspend me for, nothing, so now I see fit to not act asggoliceman again. Gentlemen, I want,‘1~fstate’ that . was never drunken duty~ r did I ever take a drink while on d,“ " Thanking you one. and all I remain? Very truly yours, ,3 TIMOTHY F. MCCARTHY. Onjjiotion of Burgess O’Reilly the resigiiation of Officer McCarthy was accepted. Warden Keeler then stated that he had requested all citizens who could furnish any information relating to the action Of the police last Friday night to be present and make their statements. Burgess Burr said that he understood that Charles Gehebe knew more about the matter thanv'any one, and if in the room, helwould like to hear Gehebe’s statement. The “Count” not being present a recess of ten minutes was taken-f while Messenger Curtis went after..-him, but soon returned with the information that he was out with his cart and would not return until after 10 O’OlOck. which caused some one in the room to suggest that Curtis could find him on Franklin avenue. (?) When business was again resumed Ward‘eh Keeler said that he had been loaded down, filled up and overflowed with information in regard to the mat- ter, but his informants had all re- quested that their names be withheld, which he was obliged to do. Burgess Bowe thought that such information ought not tO be received, as it was un- reliable. The Warden in reply stat-ed that some of the information received had enlightened him considerably in regard to the matter. Another call was made upon any one present to come forward and state what they knew about the matter, but no one re- sponded and Warden Keeler thereupon announced that the court was open for any business the burgesses saw fit to bring before it. Burgess Bowe im- mediately moved that Chief Albert De Forest be removed from the police force for neglect of duty. Burgess Kent offered an amendment to Mr. Bowe’s resolution so as to include the name of Officer Adams, and also an- thorizing the Warden to appoint suita- ble men to take their places until the next meeting of the court. This amendment caused a general expression of views and finally started Burgess O’Reilly off with an amend- ment to the amendment, which was identical with the first motion Offered by Burgess Bowe, and nothing in the heavens above or the earth beneath could make Mr. O’Reilly understand that his motion was out of order, nor could any other burgess get a word in edgewise while that great parliamenta- rian proceeded to prove that his mo- tion was ‘ in order. The Warden fin- ally ruled the motion Out and O’Reilly appealed from the Warden’s decision and carried his motion. When things got straightened out Burgess Bowe’s motion dismissing Chief DeForest was carried without a dissenting voice. Burgess Buxton then moved that Officer Adams be dismissed from the force. This motion brought on another dis— charge from O’Reilly, who wanted to know if they “wanted Officer Adams dismissed to appease the mob howling outside for his blood?” When a vote was reached it stood 4 to 2, and Officer Adams was saved. Mr. O’Reilly then called up the case of Officer Morehouse and he too was excused. After Officer Morehouse’s case had been disposed of Burgess O’Reilly moved that they proceed to the elec- tion of a chief of police in place of De- Forest and made a short speech eu— logizing Oflicer Gormley and placed his name in nomination. An informal ballot was taken resulting in 4 votes for Gormley and 2 for Edwin M. Blake, the formal ballot stood' Gormley 4, Blake 2, resulting in the selection of Gormley. When the result was an- nounced there was loud applause, and Burgess Bowe made a short speech , G. Hannah, May E. Rigby, F. complimenting Officer Gormley on his promotion and past record as a patrol- man. The next in order was the elec. tion of patrolmen in place of Gormley promoted and McCarthy resigned. The application of Henry E. Dauchy of -East Norwalk was read, but as Mr. Dauchywas not a resident of the bor- ough his application was not consider- ed. Burgess Kent nominated Edwin M. Blake for patrolman in place of Gormley and the informal and formal vote resulted in an unanimous choice of Blake. Burgess Vanderhoef next placed in nomination the name of Wal- lace Dann in place of .McGirthy and an informal ballot resulted in 5 ‘for Tim; othy F. Howard and 1 for Wallace Dann. The formal ballot resulted in the unanimous choice of Howard. Pre- vious to the election of patrolmen Dr. C. B. Coolidge protested against put- ting on more than one patrolman 0w-- ing to the expense. Burgess Vander. hoef stated that that question had been discussed some time before and it was decided that there was not sufficient police protection. ' On motion of Burgess O’Reilly the court adjourned until one week from Monday, . ' Will Not Accept. In conversation with a DAILY GA- ZET'I‘E representative this morning, E. M. Blake, who was elected a patrolman last night in place of Officer Gormley promoted, stated that under no consid- eratiOn would he accept the position. This leaves one vacancy on the force, which will have to be filled at the‘ next meeting of the Court of Burgesses.

Yesterday morning there was a big at- tendance of Westport people at the trial in the Superior Court room where the Christ church imbroglio is being tried. The interest was great when Rector Thomas Hyde was called to the witness stand. Rev. Mr. Hyde reviewed the action taken at the annual meeting, giving in detail all that took place. His version of the meeting differed consid- erably from that given by some of the church members. Rev. Mr. Hyde is a man of more than ordinary stature, possesses a bushy crop of curly hair, and his testimony was given in a decisive manner. He was cross-examined severely by Attor- ney Goodwin Stoddard, counsel for the anti-Hyde faction of the. church. The case probably will be finished this week. Charter Oak Races. Charter Oak Park attracted 3,000 spectators yesterday.

Emerson on Creeds. There is hardly a reform or proposal of reform, belonging to the second and third quarters of our century, that is not touched upon in these pages, and is not illuminated or made interesting by his characteristic method of treatment. Religion itself, in his apprehension of it, came to be closely allied to reform. No longer did religion, he said, tend to culture, but to a heroic life.. It was hard, he thought, to conceive “church, any liturgy, and rite, that would be quite genuineg” but all things urged leading “a man’s life.”——From “Emer- son’s Views on Reform,” by William M. Salter, in New England Magazine for July. Wanted in Norwalk Also. Chief Rylands received word from Norwalk today that Frank Fulton was wanted in that place for the theft of a tool chest. Fulton, who is a carpenter, was before 'the city court yesterday for defrauding a boarding house keeper. He tried to get off yesterday by offer- ing a pawn check as security and told the court that he pawned the tools so that he could go to Norwalk after tools he had left there. Fulton was fined 37 and costs and was committed to jail. The Norwalk authorities also wrote to Chief Rylands that Fulton had left an unpaid board bill in that place. He will probably be taken to Norwalk for trial as soon as he has served out the present sentence.-—[Standard. Pretty Old for That Sort of Thing. (New York Tribune.)

This he has not done, notwithstand- ing that a month has passed. Friends of Mr. Joyce say that the note will be paid when due, and that the widow must have made a mistake as to the promise of marriage. .
