happened early in the race when Ce

ner and, instead OF making the turn
sharply, made a detour so wide that
hundreds Of terror stricken spectators
thought he was going q Keep on up the
Oyster Bay road, and there was a wild
scramble for shelter. With a mighty
turn of his steering wheel the Italian
driver turned his car after 1t had gone

CAPTAIN KIDD.
The Career and the Ending of the
FN@ous Pirate.

The Career and the Ending of the
FN@ous Pirate.
Captain Kidd. the famous pirate,
started his career with the intention OF
suppressing piracy. In February, 1697,
he left the Hudson in the Adventure
Galley with a crew OF $50 men with
this intention. This expedition had been
equipped chiefly at the expense OF the
Whlg ministers, aud its commander
carried with him, besides the ordinary
letters of marque, n commission under
the great seal empowering him to seizo
pirates and to take them 20 some place
where they Iight be dealt with ac-
cording to law"
Tln kings right TO the goods found
In possession OF these malefactors was
granted By letters patent TO the sup
porters OF the expedition, his majesty
securing only one-tenth OF the spoil.
Kidd, however. soon finding that little
was TO be gained by the adventure,
threw off oil disguise and hoisted the
Jolly Roger.
His rapacity and cruelty were un-
bounded, and in less than two years he
amassed the sum OF 100000. With
this he thought TO make his peace with
the authorities and end his days In lux
ury. but he was aflssted at New York
and brought to England, where he was
tried and hanged at Execution dock In
