 many and the United States have decided
 to compete in these races Several other
 countries have the matter under consid- eraton, but even with only the yachts al-
 ready provided for, the races will attract world wide attention, and will be worth going many miles to sec.
 Besides the eliminating or trial races there will be twenty races, covering pe- riod of about three weeks. The eliminating races will occur the last week in August. 1907, and the regular cup races will occur during the first and second weeks of September, following immediately after the eliminating races.

 In case a race should be postponed for any proper cause, the regatta committed must approve the date proposed for the re-sailing.

Two hours later the charred body was buried under the same tree under the direction of deputy marshal from Purcell, who had peer thwarted in his effort to take the negro from the mob.
