THE MANCHESTER GUARDIAN. MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 13. 193; 7 LONDON TYPES OF ASM1 AND 1937 YACHT SINKS IN GALE Men's Ordeal COLLISION JUST MISSED KINGS CUP AIR RACE RECORD Winner-Averages Over Second Successive Victory A CLOSE FINISH AT HATFIELD By Major F. A- de V.

Robertson j1 has previously contributed one King's Cup. winner, a Miles Falcon in 1935 and a Vega Gull last year. It is, on the whole, a good thing for British trade that the King's Cup should be won by a fast for the speed of the winner is broadcast throughout the world and the fact of the handicap is. not always Hatfield, Saturday. Charles Gardner, in a Mew Gull with Gipsy VI, won the sixteenth race for the: King's Cup to-day at an average speed of 233 m.p.h.

over a course of 650 miles. This is the. greatest speed at' which this race has ever been won. Brigadier General A. C.

Lewin, in a Miles Whitney Straight with Gipsy Major, was second, at a speed of 1444 m.pJi. Captain in his own Mew Gull, was third, his speed being 239 m.p.h. The fourth man. Squadron Leader A. V.

Harvey, in another Whitney Straight, almost dead-heated with Percival for the third place, and many of the onlookers thought that he had gained the place." There are several interesting features about the result of to-day's racing. In the first -place, Gardner has won two King's Cups in succession. Last year he flew a Vega Gull owned by Sir Connop Guthrie, but this year he flew his own Mew Gull. An aeronautical engineer by profession, he is yet a genuine private owner. When one considers the zigzag lay-out of the course and remembers that he was hunted hard all the way by Percival in another Mew Gull, which had wings of a smaller span and was nearly five minutes faster over the course, one must acclaim the young winner as a An adventurous month at sea for two London, yachtsmen ended yesterday when, they- were landed at hlod Haven by a trawler which rescued them ten minutes before their 11-ton vessel.

Hazard, sank in a gale in the Irish Sea. They are Mr. Sidney Hillier and Mr. Brinley. Evans, of Streatham, who last with two companions, lost their bearings in fog and put into Pembrokeshire, with food supplies exhausted and beating frying-pnus ta attract attention.

On August 2:1 Mr. Hillier and Mr. Evans continued the voyage, the others having returned to Evans told a reporter when he landed yesterday We were in trouble on Wednesday night about forty miles west of the Smalls. There was a howling gale and seas were running mountain high. Suddenly out of the driving rain the huge bulk of a steamer was upon us, and it missed us by inches.

"Next, our two' shrouds went, tho mast whipped back and fore, and water started to pour into the boat. We were tossed for six hours during the night. Then the top of the mast came down, and we could not use our sails. When dawn came we took it in turns to signal with a towel, and managed to attract the attention of the trawler KurokL By wonderful seamanship Skipper Spindler brought tne trawler alongside and we leaped on board. Ten minutes afterwards our yacht sank.

Since September 2 we A fish stall are not so great as one would have supposed. The tightness and wrinkled look of the trousers and the height and curly brims of the billycock hats surprise one a little, also the shabbihess and liveliness of the street crowd. The Covent Garden men have bieeer was published under the title of "Street Incidents" by RJsrs. Sampson Low, then carrying on business in Fleet Street. The photographs, which are pasted on the page, are the work of a considerable artist of the camera, although his name is not given in the book.

In some respects they recall the Victorian, masters. of the photograph, D. O. Hill and Mrs. Camerori.

They are particularly interesting to us as the photographer DR. B. H. STREETER A Modernist Theologian with a Wide Influence ime pilot and navigator. Secondly, one must give the highest praise to General Lewin.

Too old at 40? General Lewin learnt to fly at 57, and that is six years ago He has made no fewer than seven flights I between England and his home in' Kenya, mostly accompanied by his1 wife, but he has never been in an air i race before. And during the war they i used to think a man should give up flying at 30 HANDICAPPERS' SUCCESS In the third place, a great triumph was scored by the handicappers, Messrs. Dancy and Bowarth, in producing such a fine race and such a close finish. Mr. Dancy has been handicapper to the Royal Aero Club since 1926.

He is a technical officer at the R.A.F. establishment at Martle-sham Heath, and he and Mr. Rowarth can calculate what effect the tiniest piece of metal or fabric will have upon the speed of an aeroplane over 600 or 700 miles, and express that effect in a few seconds on to a handicap. Had they put one more second on to Captain Percival's handicap, then not he but Squadron Leader Harvey would have pocketed the 150 prize for third place. From the point of view of the machines, the first four places go- to two designers.

Captain Percival and Mr. Miles. Both specialise on civil aeroplanes of the low-wing monoplane type, and both are fully alive to the modern demand for speed. Each ANNUAL SERVICE IN TINY CHURCH Hidden Congregation Harvest songs were sung yesterday in the Dorset church of Winterbourne Tomson. one of the smallest in, the country, which has only one service a year.

Three dozen people, all villagers, who had decorated the interior with fruit and vegetables, sat in groups in the tall horsebox pews, where the" were hidden from the clergymen and the rest of the congregation. When they stood only their heads appeared above the tops of the pews. The church is in the parish of tnf vicar of Winterbourne Zelstone, the Rev. R. Askew, who conducted the service.

The church has no organ, and for yesterday's harvest festival a harmonium was brought by the gf the preacher, the Rev. 1. D. Daimpre. vicar of Morden.

Dorset. A balcony in the. church dates fron the fifteenth century, but no one knows the date of the building, which twenty years ago was used by a farmer as a hen house. It was saved from ruin by the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Buildings and its restoration was largely paid for by the sale of Thomas Hardy manuscripts. emphasised.

Never before has aj winner averaged over 200 m.p.h., and i some winners in the bad old days: flew at under 100. Captain Percival; has double grounds for satisfaction this year, for one Mew Gull has won and another (his own) has put up the splendid average of 239 m.p.h. It proved quite true that yesterday, when he averaged 225, he had not got his throttle anywhere near full open. WIND AND RAIN SQUALLS The day was not a pleasant oris. A fairly strong wind was blowing from the north, there were occasional rain squalls, and sometimes the clouds were' low down on 'the hills.

The air was distinctly bumpy, though nothing like as bad as it was at Scarborough yesterday Falcon crashed and the Scion Senior was so badly thrown 'about that Mr. Piper, the pilot, had his face scratched and ballast tore its. way through the bottom of the fuselage and did some damage in the town. The north wind blew all the machines very fast from Carlisle to Leicester, and by comparison that handicapped the faster racers, because a headwind tells more heavily against the slow machines they are in it for a. longer time.

In the final run home from Cardiff to Hatfield the wind was almost directly on the port beam. Of thej 1 j. tv.li: seventeen wno siariea item uuuim thirteen finished at Hatfield. Young De Havilland had trouble with his cowling early, in the day and was delayed while repairs were undertaken. After reaching Blackpool he retired and flew straight back to Hatfield.

Atcherley landed at St. Bees with, engine trouble, Broadbent fell out at Port "Patrick, and Henshaw at Stoke-ori-Trent. There was a very fair crowd at Hatfield, and before the winner came in sight two foreign pilots, Ober Leutnant Fischer, of Switzerland, and Herr Paul Forster, of Germany, gave extremely fine exhibitions of aeronautics in special aeroplanes. A Gauntlet of No. 66 (Fighter) Squadron also gave a flying display.

Local ex-servicemen are protesting against a proposal by the local urban council to sell the gun to a Belfast scrap merchant. Dr. Mann, president of the Dungannon British Legion branch, said yesterday that men of all creeds and classes deeply resented the proposal. They have only a few medals and the howitzer as a memory, and they rightly feel that the gun is part and parcel of themselves, not to be measured in terms of scrap money. If the War Office urgently requires scrap iron, men will gladly give freely.

We are termed sentimentalists, but we vaid for sentiment, and if necessary we will again." Dr. Mann has protested on behalf of the Legion to the chairman -of the council.

The band went all round the ship in the early morning and from a series of strategic points blasted the drowsy into wakefulness. Entertainment and management were under the control of a number of Nazi officials, the chief of whom was the Reiseleiter (cruise leader), Herr. Meyer, a quiet, good-natured, rather paternal man. One of his assistants, representing the Berlin Nazi party organisation, had none of his chiefs urbanity. The party officials were assisted by the ship's first officer, a thoroughly delightful fellow, a good mixer with an eloquent and amusing tongue, popular with all the passengers.

He had been lent to the Berlin for his social qualities. The ship was specially fitted with amplifiers at various points so that the announcements of the first officer and the cruise leader could always be heard. Passengers were kept well in touch with what was going on in the ship. The amplifiers were put to excellent use later when the Berlin reached the Norwegian coast and entered the fiords. A series of short lectures on Norway and the features of the scenery around were given.

A "Manchester Guardian" staff photographer has been sent round to take the' same types as they appear to-day, and in some cases he has been able to record the 1937 types in the same place as those in which the cameraman of 1881 found them.

It was generally agreed that the authors of the first and third Gospels had made use ot- the. second as one of their sources Streeter stressed the view that while Mark was a primary source1 oi mawnew, it was but a secondary source of Luke. Luke had already composed the first draft of his Gospel before he came across Mark. He then intercalated into his Gospel sections from Mark narrating incidents which he had not included in his first draft. Yet when two years later Dr.

Streeter published his book "Reality A New Correlation of Science and Religion he showed that he had also kept abreast of the recent teachings of natural science and wrote of them with the ease entire familiarity. In 1932 Streeter was invited, although hot a candidate, to deliver the Bamp-ton Lectures. His theme was the superiority of the Christian religion as a religion of life, in. contrast to Buddhism. These lectures grew out of several visits which Streeter paid to the Far East not as a tourist but as a Christian educationist.

His addresses to Oriental students (Japanese, Chinese, and Indian) were appreciated highly. He understood young men and young women of the student He was a zealous supporter of the Christian Student Movement, and no one exercised a deeper influence on its members. He combined sanity with humour and was a shrewd adviser of those who went to him with their difficulties. Ecclesiastically he was an advanced Modernist, but his teaching was so entirely positive and practical that his opponents were little disposed to attack him. No notice of Dr.

Streeter would be complete without mention of the influence exerted upon him by Sadhu Sundar Singh, whom he met and of whom he wrote an account in 1921, and of the more powerful influence of the Group Movement with which he entirely identified himself in 1934. He had returned to his old college as provost in 1933, and attended one of the grout) house-rjarties in Oxford. From that time he was wholly identified, with the Dr. Streeter undoubtedly injured his health by too close a devotion to study when he was an undergraduate, but he must have been constitutionally strong, ana from the -time of his wedding with Miss Irene Louisa Rawlinson in 1910 his health improved.

S. M. BERRY'S REPLY TO DISPARAGERS Dr. Sidney M. Berry, secretary of the Congregational Union of England and Wales, who preached the Assembly sermon in St.

Peter's Cathedral, Geneva, ye'sterday, referred to ths voice which speaks in accents of discouragement about the future of the League of Nations." Such voices, he said, seized upon every failure to attain the ideal of full international co-opera tion. They point out the strength of the forces which move outside the boundaries of the League. But when you inquire as to where the argument is leading, you can get no better answer than the vague state meht that the times are not ripe, that the ideal of the League is obviously right, but at present impracticable. When you press still further as to what that means in the terms of actual practice, you are left with the uncomfortable feeling that it means, a reversion to the old situation before the League was called into existence, with the result that any sane observer can predict. I mention these things because they are being commonly repeated in the ordinary talk of men, and announced in certain newspapers as the ripest fruit of their political wisdom.

Tne Christian man, dedicated as he must be by his faith to realise the conception of the whole family of mankind, cannot follow such guides. The time of reaction is the very time when he needs to be clearest about his faith and purpose. I believe' that at this moment there is great need to rally the Christian forces throughout the world in rededication to the whole idea of the League. If It Should Fail In certain quarters there have been signs of weakening loyalty. Contro versy among Christian people as to methods to be adopted to give, effect to the League's decisions has undoubtedly heen one of the reasons for such weak ening.

In the present world situation it would be tragic if the Christian forces were divided on the one essential issue. The League is the practical expression in international life of the Christian ideal. It has, of course, limita tions at present which prevent it from embodying the fullness of that ideal, but if it failed now for lack of support what is there left round which the forces of peace could gather? The Christian, who should always be the true realist, cannot discuss the future of the League in a calm, detached academic fashion. It is a life and death question for him, life or death -to the thing for which he ought to care most the nearer fulfilment of the will ot God for mankind." Dr. Berry asked.

What must be the ultimate result of the prides, the enmities, the hard divisions, which obtain' in thp world at this moment'" If they have their way-and work their-will can. the possibly produce anything, which will enrich the lives of ordinary men. and women, in all the nations Have they nuyiumn re any to oner To Tne common People I belfov fi-nrn-Tnv hfar tis all the "pride and vainslnrv thisf hml division between nation and nation- ana ainerent schools of political thought, is an Musion."

George Vaughan, speaking at the opening of an extension to Farndon schools and a new playground, said to him it was a colossal waste of public money to Insist upon Grade A milk for school children if they were to remain content with school buildings' of the type advocated for modern pigsties. The Ministry of Agriculture givts grants to farmers who have cows free from disease and sanitary How long is the Ministry of Education going to continue its grants to insanitary schools I am full of apprehension about the future of village schools. They are so badly equipped as a rule, and in future they will be able to attract only the second-rate type of teacher." Speaking of reorganisation, Mr. Vaughan said- one of its disadvantage would be that children would be away froni. villages to, larger schools at an impressionable age.

Unless we are he added, in a few years the depressed areas will not be those area from which industries have vanish'l but our villages from which the population has vanished." SHOPLIFTING BEHIND PAPER SCREEN Man and Wife Fined Hamlet Richardson Harrop (531. of Honford Road, Brownlee Green, Wythenshawe, who was said to have covered his wife's movements in a Manchester store by holding up a bi; sheet of paper, was at Manchester City Police Court on Saturday fined 20s. for shoplifting. His wife, Clara Harrop (49), of the same address, was fined 10s. on a similar charge.

Educated at King's College School, London, he won a scholarship to Queen's College, Oxford, where he had as distinguished a career as could fall to any man.

He took a first-class in Moderations, in Literas Humaniores, and in Theology. He was Liddon Theological Scholar, Hall-Houghton Senior Greek Testament Prizeman, and Denver and Johnson Scholar. In 1899 he was elected to a Fellowship at Pembroke College, Oxford, where he remained as lecturer and dean till 1905, when he returned as Fellow and theological lecturer to his old college, Queen's.

The meals were, in fact, simple breakfast of bread, butter, coffee (not of the ship's ordinary strength), an egg or a small slice of ham. Lunch was a simple meat dish of vegetables, meat, and a sweet, or soup and meat and vegetables.
