SHOCKING MOTOR ACCIDENT. Well-Kncwn Undergraduate Killed. COLLISION NEAR HARSTON. death occurred under very tragic circumstances on Monday night ol Mr. John Marlowe, au undergraduate of PembroKe Ollege.

and eldest son of Mr. Marlowe, Editor of the "Daily Mail." Mr. Marlowe was returning from London in a motorcar, and when near Harston collided with a light spring cart driven ii. the opposite direction. The impact most have been very severe, for the crash is said to have been heard at Harrington, a mile away.

Doth motor car and trap were badly damaged.and the off-side shall of the trap driven ight through the unfortunate motorist's head, death being instantaneous. Mr. Marlowe was driving a new Bedford car, belonging to Messrs Bas and Godhngton, towards Cambridge tlie road from Melbourn. About half a mile on the Melbourn side of Har- Eton he met the pony aud trap, coming from the direction ot liarston. In the trap were Mr.

Wilkinson, of the Chequers bin, Fowluiere. and Mr. Taylor, a florist, of Melbourc. Apparently the ofi-side of the molor must have struck the pony almost end on, for the animal was forced right up over the bonnet of the car aud partly through the wind screen, one of its hind-legs being jammed in between the column of the steering wheel and the right side of the car, and its body hung over the right front of the car. The off-side wheel of the trap was smashed to ttoms, both shafts were snapped off, and the crap was overturned and the occupants were -hrown out, Mr.

Wilkinson sustaining injuries the upper part of the body, and Mr. Taylor uaving one of his legs injured. The collision ieems to have driven the pony and cart in front of the car, which swerved.on to the grass by the side of the road and brought up within a couple of yards of the ditch. The place where the accident happened is almost immediately opposite the gateway leading to Mr. Rowley's farm -on the north side of Hoffer Bridge, where the road crosses a little tributary of the River Cam.

The roadway at this point is rather narrow, being about" 16ft. wide, with a strip of grass several yards wide on either side. The road is level, but there is a slight but awkward bend in the road at the bridge, the curve ending just about where the accident occurred. Mr. Rowlev's foreman, Joseph Impey.

who lives at the farm a few yards away, heard a tremendous crash, followed by 6creams, and, rushing out, found the motor car on the strip or grass just outside the gateway leading into the road and the body of the trap Iving in the road. Mr. Marlowe was aitting at the shattered steering wheel, with fragments of it still clenched in his hands, and his head transfixed- by the broken shaft, the brass-bound point of which had entered the left eye and passed out at the back of the head like a lance, the end protruding several inches. After rendering what assistance he could, he made his way as quickly as possible to Harston and informed P.C. Martin, who at once hurried to the spot and availed himself of the services of a passing motor cyclist to the news to the County Police Headquarters at Cambridge, with the result that the Deputy-Chief Constable (Supt.

W. Y. Webb) and P.S. Pallant were on the scene in a very short time. Medical aid was quickly summoned, but Dr.

Young could only pronounce life extinct in the case of Mr. Marlowe, and stated that death must have been instantaneous. A number of villagers anxious to render assistance hurried to the spot, and Messrs. Wilkinson and Taylor were taken to the Swan Inn. Mr.

Taylor, who complained of pains in the upper part of the body, was subsequently taken home in the motor mail van, and Mr. Wilkinson, whose left leg had been cut to the bone, and who had also received a cut on the chin, was driven home by Mr. Ashby. of the Queen's Head, Harston. The sad task of getting Mr.

Marlowe's body out of the car was performed as expeditiously as possible, but it was found necessary to saw off about 18 inches of the of the shaft, so firmly fixed was it in the unfortunate motorist's bead. The body was then removed to the Swan Inn, Harston. where it until after the opening of the coroner's anquest on Tuesday night. Ou Wednesday Homing it was brougit to Pembroke Collesc, Sambridge. The pony was so badly injured that it had Hi be killed as quickly as possible.

Mr. Jude. corse slaughterer, of Barrington. being called in to perform this duty. One of its legs was broken in six or seven places.

The occupants of fhe oSrt had been to Haslingfield. and were returning home with a number of live ducklings, pome of which were killed in the collision. Amone the things found on Mr. Marlowe's body after the accident was a half-sovereign, which was found in the left-hand waistcoat pocket broken in three pieces. A number of ducklings a few weeks old were among the contents of the trap.

Some of these were thrown by the collision into the body of the motor car. where the rescuers found them, four being alive and one dead. Valuable services were rendered by Mr. B. S.

Martin, of 19. Newmarket-road, who rode into Cambridge on his cotor cycle and informed the County Police at headquarters of the sad occurrence, and afterwards informed Messrs. Fox and Godlington. Thanks to him. Supt.

Webb was enabled to reach the 6cene of the accident soon after 11 p.m. Dr. Tounp and P.C. Martin did admirable work, and many of the villagers rendered useful aid. THE INQUEST OPENED.

W. J. Young, of Harston, described the injuries and I testified to the fearfully sudden manner in whi'h death came, giving his opinion that Mr. i Marlowe could not have fell the blow that killed him. After takiug this evidence, the Coroner eaid the occupants of the trap, Messrs.

Wilkiu- I eon and Taylor, were too unwell to attend, and adjourned the inquest for a fortnight. Among the articles produced were the piece of 1 the shaft of the ponycart which pierced Mr. Marlowe's head, a couple of photographs showing the motor-car and cart on the grass at the of the road just as they were found after accident, and two fragments of the steering 1 wheel which were found clenched iv the dead man's hands. The piece of shaft, which had to be sawn off before the body could be removed 1 from the ear. was about two inches in diameter at its thickest part, tapering down to less than i half that thickness, and was tipped with a eoni- eel brass cap.

The pieces of the steering wheel i were each about eight or nine inches long, and 1 were a good deal shattered. The photographs showed the pony cart pushed nearly into the ditch ir. front of the motor on the off-side, the car being slewed round almost at right angles to 1 the road. 1 Mr. Rodwell.

It was in the position I shown by the nhotograpbs produced. Witness Jet the car to Mr. Marlowe at 10.30 a.m. on the o' tltc accident. Mr.

Marlowe said lie would be back at Id p.m. Supt. Webb Had deceased driven this car be- fore on the 151 inst. The Coroner Was that the only Replying to Mr. Lawson as to the condition of the tyres, witness said they had only covered I about Gun miles.

Mr. Sidney John Hyde, foreman at Messrs. 1 ox ana Godlington's. a momr engineer, said he s.iw die car go out on Monday morning. He corroborated the evidence of Mr.

Varney. He saw the car on Tuesday morning. Both" front tyres were on the rims, and the tubes were burst. Supposing either of the front tyres had burst, it would cause the car to swerve. Whichever side tyre burst, the tendency would be for the car do go iv the opposite direction.

The hand brake lever was tuil on; the gear lever was in the top gear. Coroner: Is that fhe high eed 1 es. What would be tlie speed of the car with that from four to 45 miles an hour. Witness ciatimiing. said the speedometer was fit zero.

Tin- engine v.qnite undamaged, ar.d i "noil order so far as he could see. The I levers and carburettor were completely shut off, worked quite freely. They would go back and shut automatically. There was nothing whatever about the working parts of the car to account for the accident. He had examined the inner tubes of the two front wheels, but could uot find any paws in them.

He thought the offside tyre burst from the impact, nnd the near side tyre from a slight skid probably at the time of ill" collision. There was nothing in the const Miction or state of Ihe car lo account for the oar swerving towards rhe off-side of the road. If the evidence called showed that it did so. he did not see anything to account for it. There was nothir.g to show which tyre burst first, but the off tyre was cut as if impact.

If a tyre of that burst it would probably make a loud noise. It would have undoubtedly have been beard if it had burst before the impact. The car carried lieadlights, and when lie examined tin- generator that morning, he found it still in the position for making gas. There were five lamps on the car, two side, two bead, and one tail lamp. Dr.

Wni. John Young, of Ilarston. said he c-smined the body on Monday night about 10.30. He first saw deceased in tiie car about 10 p.m. He was dead.

He was fitting in the middle of the scat, slightly to the left. Both hands were grasping of the steering wheel. The spokes of the steering wheel were smashed. Deceased's were free, but the off hind leg of the jx.iiy was between his legs inside the car. Tiie rest Hie pony's body was barging outside nfi sidi- of the car.

The oft shaft of the cart had transfixed deceased's head from tbe left eye. and lite end was projecting from the back of the head about three inches. It was firmly embedded in the head. Death was due to this, and must: hive becu instantaneous. Be could nc.er have telt (in; blaw.

Witness sawed the shaft through and got the body out of the car. and foiled the limbs uninjured. The body was taken io the Swan Inn. The Coroner said there were two occupants of the cart, but both were ill and unable to attend, and it was therefore necessary to adjourn the inquiry. He suggested that it be adjourned until that day fortnight, at the same time and place.

The jury assenting to this, the inquest was adjourned accordingly. INJURED MEN'S CONDITION. It was stated on Tuesday night that Mr. Taylor was contiued to his bed. and that he had sustained internal injuries in the upper part of the body, but that it was hoped that no bones were broken.

B. Margetts, the Huntingdon Coroner, on Wednesday afternoon, on the body of Albert Cooper, aged 54, one of the principal chemists of Huntingdon, who was found dead in bed that morning.

The work should be continued in approved schools. took place of a proposal which, it was stated, was under the consideration of the Board of Education, to make secondary schools centres of training for teachers. The view was expressed generally that this would only be acceptable on the conditions that the experiment should be confined, in the first instance, to a very few schools in which certain members of the staff were specially qualified for the work, and that adequate arrangements should be made for the theoretical part of the training.

The Annual Report. The minutes of the last meeting having been read and signed, the Secretary (Mr. Ayres) submitted his annual report as follows: In presenting to you tbe 33rd annnal report of the club, I am glad to say that we find ourselves in a much better position as regards the finances of the club than we had occasion at first to think. Of this you will hear from our Treasurer. As regards active members, the number is up to the average of the last few years.

We made nine new members last year, bringing the total number of members up to 80. which 1 tiiink is very good considering the numtx of clubs there are this town. The club entered three eights in the Association's bumping races, and 1 very much regret having to report that our first boat, after holding the headship for 14 years, had to acknowledge defeat at the hands of the College Servants' first boat; but not only losing the headship. I am sorry to say that the boat went down throe places during the racing, thus making our first boat fourth on the river. Remarks on various occasions have been passed regarding this, so 1 shall not dwell on that.

We all naturally felt this defeat very much, especially after being at the head of the river bo many years, but rf this defeat is going to do good in making every member of the club work hard and do their best to regain our lost position, then I 6ay that our defeat will not have been in vain. I must at this point congratulate the College Servants' first boat in going head, and I we as a club of good sportsmen must not begrudge them the victory, especially after the splendid racing they gave us the year previous. Our second boat did remarkably well in holding their important position as fifth boat on the river, especially as the crew were not really settled (owing to illness, etc.) until a few nights before the races took place. Our third boat, from whom some of us had great expectations, finished in the same position as tbey started, making a bump on the third night, but getting bumjwit on the last night. In the Association Regatta tho club entered two senior fours and two scullers.

The fours had to acknowledge defeat in their various heats, but I am glad to be able to say that it was left to our two scullers to fight out the final, in which Mr F. Foister defeated our old friend and stroke, Mr. W. H. Odams, the club thus winning the Association Sculls.

We had good entries for the various' club races which were held during the season, consisting of senior and junior tub pairs, scratch fours, and handicap sculls, the following members being the tub pairs, F. W. Leverett, O. A. F.

Clark, R. Howlett (cox); junior tub pairs, E. Scott and H. P. Utteridge; scratch fours, F.

Sinister. H. Wardale, V. War. dale.

P. Pigg. and W. Wardale (cox); handicap sculls. 1 J.

Foister. 2 W. Attwood. Mr. B.

S. Campkin very kindly again gave the first prize in the sculls. "The club invited St. Ives Rowing Club to meet tbem in friendly races, which consisted of senior and junior fours, senior and junior sculls. The Robs wan the junior fours and the senior and junior sculls, St.

winning the senior fours. After the races the club entertained St. Ives to supper at U.e Castle Hotel, the chair being occupied by Mr. F. S.

Richardson, and a very pleasant evening was spent. The Committee outing did not take place last year, but we hope that this pleasant outing wiU not be allowed to drop. The social events included a dance held at the Co-operative Hall and two whist drives, from which a small balance from each was handed to the club. I am snre the club will agree with me in thanking Mr. A.

Pamplin for his great energy in selling CO tickets; without his great help I am afraid the drives would have been a failure. The annual dinner was held at the Castle Hotel on Anril the Bth, when 47 members and friends sat down to dinner, including the Mayor. Mr. W. H.

Francis, Mr. J. Collin, and our (Mr. R. Hamblin Smith), the dinner and the pleasant evening proving a great success.

Twenty-two committee meetings were held during the season, when the following attendj a noes were made by the captains and members of' the H. A. Searle 10, Mr. V. Wardale 18.

Mr. A. Neech 21. Mr. E.

H. Randell 3. Mr. H. P.

Utteridge 15, Mr. C. Kitchen 1. Mr. R.

M. White 10, Mr. O. A. F.

Clark 20. Mr G. M. Miller U. Mr.

W. Wardale 16, and Mr. F. J. Gatwood 12.

I should like at this point to ask all our members to give the various captains and committee all the help that they can during the coming season. Try and get to the boatyard as early as possible: several races had lo be postponed last year owing to the members not turning up until late, and it is very disheartening to the officials and the members to have to wait about so long. On behalf of the club. I should like to tender i'UT very sincere thanks to the members of the University for the very kind use of their boats, aud also to the coaches who so kindly gave their services, and I am sure we all thank Mr. B.

S. Campkin for once again giving the first prize for the sculls. "In conclusion. Mr Chairman. I should like fo thank very kindly tjie committee and vicepresidents who have heliied me so much during the past season and my first year as secretary of ilie club; and once again I ask all the members to do their best in getting new members this season and to work hard, and may the Rob Roy Club continue fo flourish." The report was adopted, on the motion of Mr.

Mason, seconded by Mr. A. Neech. and fhe Secretary was most heartily thanked, on the proposition of Mr. Carey, seconded by Mr.

Osborne. Balance Sheet. The report of Mr. Howlett (treasurer) showed an increased balance of over £3 on the last year. The principal item towards a total ot £35 10s.

Pamplin I don't think we should call it loss on annual dinner." The Treasurer: I think you will find it general. The Chairman I suppose it is from complimentary tickets? The Treasurer: There were £1 for complimentary tickets, 12s. for and is. for refreshments. The Chairman said he was very pleased they were again on the right side, and were gradually working upwards.

They were greatly indebted to the Treasurer for presented such an excellent balance-sheet. Mr. Osborne, in proposing the adoption of the balance-sheet, said as one of the auditors, it had given him great satisfacf ion to find everything in first-class condition, and he had in moving a vote of thanks to the Treasurer. In seconding, Mr. Mole said every credit was due to their Treasurer for the way "in which he had got in the subscriptions.

(Hear, hear.) In Mr. Howlett they had one of the best, and he (the speaker) hoped he would again take office. New Members. Messrs. R.

Addison and G. Smith were elected members of the club. Mr. Bert Day hon. member, and Mr.

P.C. Juler life Election of Officers. On the motion of Mr. Carev, seconded by Mr. Pamplin.

the President (Mr. R. Hamblin Smith) was unanimously re-elected. The vice-presidents were re-elected en bloc, with the addition of Mr. Harold Spender, who was proposed and seconded by the Secretary and Mr.

Spencer respectively. The Secretary (Mr. A. E. Ayers) and Treasurer (Mr.

B. Howlett) were also re-elected, and Mr. Nixon was appointed assistant secretary. In returning thanks, Mr. Avers said that owing to increasing personal responsibility, he would much rather have seen a younger member in his place.

Still, if they wished him to retain office, he could assure them of his best endeavours, for he had the welfare of the club at heart. (Hear, hear.) They had always treated him well, and anything he could do for the club would always have his attention. Mr. Howlett thanked them for their continued confidence. When first he undertook the duties of treasurer, he admitted feeling somewhat funky," as he had never done any book work before.

He had only had one year's work, and he may have made errors, but he had the interest of at heart, and he assured them of his best efforts in the future (Hear, hear.) Mr. P. Pig? was elected first captain. The election of a second captain caused a little discussion. Mr.

Pamolin thought there was one thing wrong about the club; that the second captain should only row in the second boat. It was a wrong feeling, he contended, for members to elect a captain and say he was only row in one boat. He recalled a little discussion ihat had taken place on the same matter at the last meeting, and he was of opinion the members should be given to understand that they were allowed to row in the first boat if they wished, and the sooner the rule was dropped the better. Mr. Mole: There is no rule.

Mr. Pamplin There is a feeling of one. and I say it is wrong, and it ought to be dropned as soon as jKissible. It would help the meeting to select captains, and the mau who is elected second captain should not be elected with the idea that lie is not to row in the first boat. Mr.

Pa.sous said he would like to se? one of the older members who got to the yard regularly take the offic; of captain. Mr. Osborne: Then 1 propose Mr. Parsons. Mr.

Mole seconded. Mr. Pamplir. agreed with Mr. Parsons, and was glad to see him elected.

Mr. Parsons: Are we encouraging young members to take the responsibility of this office, or are we taking it off their backs? There are young members who are willing to take office. I think there is that side to look at. Mr. Pamplin: I think it is hard for a young member to be made second captain.

He doesn't feel capable of tubbing his crew, and members don't look up to a ycang captain as they would to an older member. (Hear, hear.) The Secretary endorsed Mr. Pamplin's views, and Mr. Parsons was duly appointed. Mr.

Searle was then elected third captain. Mr. Pamplin, having to leave before the close, at this ooint proposed a vote of thanks to the late captains. He thought they had had a trying year. They had done their best, and whatever downfalls they had experienced, he did not thir-k it is exactly their fault.

Mr. Parsons seconded, and the Chairman supported. The following committee was then elected Messrs. V. Wardale.

A. Mason. W. AVardule. A.

Searle interrupted I don't believe the Chairman has said whether there was any alteration in rules this year." The Chairman No, there is not. The Secretary: There was no notice; there should be seven days. Mr. Ostorne: There is no rule. Mr.

Searle then pronosed that Rule 20 read No alteration or addition to these rules shall be made without seven days' notice be given to the Secretary." Mr. Mole seconded. Mr. Mason proposed an additional rule, to read: "No one shall be made a life member of tbe club unless he is an active member of the club at the time." Mr. E.

Collier also maintained his form, and had the excellent average of 51.20. He was also the only one to score a 130 v. Rodney. It was pleasing to find the older members still in the front, P. W.

Gray and R. Phillips scoring very freely. The younger members also showed improvement. Constable played for the county. He did not have such a good season as in 1911.

Campbell and Whitney showed freat improvement in batting, and are sure to even better in the coming season. R. Phillips won the bowling prize with an average of 33 wickets for 12.15 runs per wicket; he secured 9 wickets for 42 v. Albert Institute. P.

On the social side two whist drives were held, and were hoth successes, thanks to the untiring efforts of the Whist Drive Committee.

The Secretary concluded by expressing the hope of the committee that the members would continue to give their support to the club. The presence of honorary members at the matches was much appreciated by those playing, and they hoped this practical form of interest in the club's doings would be in evidence i again this season. The Treasurer stated that fhe year had been started with a balance of 5s Id, and there was now a balance in hand of JE3 16s lid. The reports were adopted. Mr.

They point out tiat since the formation of the college in 1708 about 700 students have been prepared for the ministry at home and abroad, and that the number of former Cheshunt students living at the present time is about "270.

One out of seven of these is in the foreign mission field. The catholic and interdenominational b.isii of the college allows the students eompleto liberty as to the denomination in which they will exercise their ministry. Hence one out of ten has been ordained in the Church of England; a larger number have entered the churches of the Congregational order; a few are in other denominations. With tho sanction of tlie Board of Education the management of the college is now vested in a Board of Governors representing tho University of Cambridge, subscribers, former students, the Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion, tho London Missionar3- Society, and the Congregational Union of England and Wales. About will he required for the new buildings.

Towards this sum over been received and promised, including each from the following gentlemen Lord Armitstead. Sir Bobert Laidlaw, Sir W. H. Lever, Mr. C.

B. Brooke, and Mr. Samuel Figgis: each from Lord Hollenden, Mr. John Carter, Mr. C.

P. Merriam, and Mr. J. P. Maclav; each fiom the Bt.

Hon. T. Ferens, M.P., Mr. W. H.

Brown, Mr. G. A. Hardy, and Mr. G.

Oliver Jones; and each from Sir Albert Spieer, Mr. James Spicer and Mr. William Edwards. In a covering letter the President, the Rev. G.

Campbell Morgan, D.D., says: "An excellent opportunity is now presented of placing this old-established institution of sacred learning on a firm and sound basis in connection with cne of the great English Universities." Acting on the advice of Sir Aston Webb, R.A., the Governors have accepted the designs prepared by Mr. P. Morley Horder, F.R.1.8.A. An admirable site in every way suitable to the needs of the college has been purchased, end the Lord Chancellor, Lord Haldane, has kindly consented to lay the foundation stone of the new; college on Saturday, June 7th. The amount received last week towards the Building Fund was Bs.

and farther donations are earnestly desired. The new college will be very pleasantly and conveniently situated, the site consisting of about two acres of land at tbe Trumpingtonroad end of Bateman-street, and extending from St. Eligius-street to Brookside. The main entrance will be in Bateman-street, and the buildings will form, roughly, three sides of a square with the open side towards Brookside. In the space thus enclosed will be a large quad, end tne lecture hall.

The Principal's house and garden will adjoin Brookside, and the Tutor's house and garden will be between the main entrance and the corner of St. Eligins-street.
