The Ardmoreite's main editor took

Leaving here at 2:35 on the pas

We went down the railroad a half
mile or so. turned and entered a field
Of corn, the ground being fresh plow-
ed, made it pretty tough walking.
But we were determined to go to
the picnic. and after crossing two or
three fields entering a a skirt OF
woods for some distance we struck
the road, passed down a loGg hill.
crossed a dry ravine and then began
the ascent Of "Tater HILL" where the
picnic was located.
After putting and blowing through
the sand and over the stubble for
about half an hour we finally reached
the summit where about 500 jolly pic
nickers were gathered. The speakers
had all GRATED and the dance platform,
the cold drink stands and such like
were claiming the attention of the
people.
A peak 100 feet high surmounted
the crest of the hill, on top OF which

high point. From the top of this
peak one could see Ardmore, Dur

to time by the A. & G. people stop

SIR THOMAS
CONFIDENT
So is Mr.. Iselin. Reliance
Shows up Well in Yester-
days Fluke.
RELIANCE 0UTSAILS SHAMROCK
Light and Fluky Winds Yesterday.
Yachts Could not Finish in Time
Limit. Reliance made Big Gains on
Shamrock. Looks as Though Captain
Barr and Reliance will Take Good
Care of the Cup.

Yesterdays race between the Re-
lance and the Shamrock was very un-
satisfactory. The wind was light and
fluky and it was impossible to finish
within the time limit. The race to
the outer mark was very encouraging,
as the Reliance gained about seven
minutes on the Shamrock and clearly
outpointed her in the light wind
There may have been some luck in
getting the best of what wind there
was, but Captain Barr is noted for be-
ing able to find all the wind there is
blowing.
The Shamrock crossed the starting
line 80 seconds ahead of the Reliance
and at the outer mark our boat was
about seven minutes in the lead. Just
after the Reliance rounded the turn
the race was called Off
After the yachts returned Sil
Thomas was seen and said;
No, l am not in the least dis
appointed with my boat or its efforts
to-day. The wind was so variable thai
neither boat had good chance, and
particularly mine, with the smaller
sail area. Wait till we get gooC
breeze
Mr.. Iselin was also interviewed anC
he said: II have seen nothing to-day
to shake my confidence in the Reli
ance, and still think she will success
fully defend the cup"
