like a team Of horses and during that
portion OF the duel patriots made no
effort 10 conceal their nervousness.
Racing conditions today were ideal.
The race course was flooded with sun

the international cup race.
The concourse Of the palatial steam
yachts was the largest ever seen Off

spirit as he iugged up to cross. Barr as
usual went over the windward birth,
-four seconds behind his rival. Both
were close hauled on the starboard
tack.
When both had been squared away
for home II was seen that the Reliance
was making a runaway race with the
Shamrock astern. The scene at the
finish was soul stirring. The excursion
boats fairly awakened echoes with
terrific din which they let loose as the
Reliance crossed the line. Then wait

thrown violently into the front end OF
the car. Charles Farleman. who was
killed. was in this car, as were many OF
the severely injured.

to assist the injured and pull them
out of the wreck. Several doctors on
the train within a short time went to
work on the sufferers. A messenger
was hurried to Chehalis with the news
and a train of fiat cars was sent to the
scene of the wreck to bear the injured
to the hospitals. Every doctor in Che

wreck and a special train was sent from
Tacoma with doctors and nurses. Most
