this quaint, black letter volume, are

Remarkable Disaster.

Berlin.-A remarkable disaster has
overtaken the exploring expedition of
Duke Adolf Friedrich of Mecklenburg
IN the volcanic region in the extreme
northwestern corner of German East
Africa
In the crater of Branca. one of the
lower mountains. the party was over
whelmed by terrible snowstorm, and
20 of the black contingent-nearly
half of the eXpedition-weref frozen to
death about 80 miles south of the
equator.
The particulars of the tragedy have
come in letter written by E.. Kirsch-
stein, geologist of the expedition, and
printed in the Deutsch- Ostafrikanische
Zeitung. The report has the official
Endorsement of Duke Adolf Friedrich.
The expedition was organized to
make study of the largest era of &C.
tive volcanic phenomena in Africa,
and early reports said the progress
had been most favorable The report
of this terrible reverse, which is dated
March 5. is as follows:
On February % we completed our
work on the Karissinby volcano. The
scientific results have been rich and
important. Our headquarters have
been on the edge of Branca crater and
We broke camp to return to the foot
of the mountains. We decided to de-
scend into the crater and cross it. In
the crater is a shallow swamp which
is easily forded, and into this swamp
we made our way and went rapidly
along until more than half across to
the further crater edge.

New York to Chicago is training every

DR.. George D. Fisher, the senior sec
rotary of the physical department of
the international committee of the
Young Mems Christian association, will
be the official starter of the race. He
said that nearly 1000 boys would take
part in it. Each of these, he explained,
will be representative American boy
ber-that is, he will not be selected be-
cause of physical fitness alone, but be-
cause he qualities from a fourfold
standpoint of fitness In other words,
he will be a representative boy in
mental equipment, in moral attain
ment, and in character; thus it will
be truly a race by representative
American boys.
Il approve of this race for adde's
cents" Mr.. Fisher added, because
each boy will run only the distance
Of half mile. Each will be subject
ed to a physical examination, and to
avoid undue exposure the boys will be
taken care of before and after the
race in automobiles.
The race represents a test of
achievement. 1t is a scheme which
requires cooperation; each boy will
have to observe the rules to the let
ter or the whole scheme is a failure
It will demand pluck; each boy will
have to finish his own race, and will
have intruSted to him the responsible
ity of carrying message noble il
sentiment from a high official of one
great city to another. 1t will create
interest in wholesome, clean sport in
which the only aim is noble achieve
ment, the eligibility rules like those of
the Olympaid, and the service void o
personal gain or individual prestige"

HILTON, May 30.-The annual Irv-

race, the big sporting feature of every
Memorial Day, scheduled for today,
has been postponed until text Satur-
day.
Referee William r. Pittman called
the race off at Don after the COM

a risk of life and limb to SEND the
riders over the undiscovered course.
At 1890 o'clock. the scheduled time
for the start of the cycle derby, rain fell
in sheets and the course from Irvington
to Millburn was a sea of mud waves.
The conditions were not improved at
noon, and those present voted for a
-postponement. Still the officials held
off until the last, hoping to start the
race. This was to have been the
twentieth renewal of the race.

Daring Auto Driver Is Killed in

DASHED AROUND TRACK
81 SECONDS TO MILE
Racing Machine Turns Somer-

ner Chauffeur to Death.

BALTIMORE, May 30.-Emanuel Ce-
drino, one of the most daring of automo-
bile racers, Is dead, a victim of speed
mania. He was killed in rushing his
car to cover a mile in fifty seconds. His
neck was broken.
Il might have driven faster, but 1 am
not counting death. 1 wan to live to
drive in another race" declared Ced-
rino, after the ear he had driven fin
isheh second in the recent Briarcliff
race. The celebrated Italian driver
was hurled from his racing ma
chine here yesterday afternoon while it
was travelling at frightful speed on he
Pimlico race track. Cedrino was in
stantly killed. He was to drive in his
first race after the Briarcliff trophy, on
the race track today.
An instant before his death Cedrino,
alone in his sixty-horsepower car, had
completed a circuit of the mile tract in
51A seconds, establishing a new worlds
record for the mile on a circular track.
His daring driving held GREATNESS hum
dreds of spectators, including society
women, who were watching the tuning
up of the racing cars in preparation for
today's events. They had just begun to
applaud when the heavy car turned a
somersault. The body of the driver was
thrown forty feet into the air n
landed against the outer rail.
Cedrino's body hardly quivered after
it struck the fence and fell limp upon
the track. Many bones were crushed
and broken. A broken axle had brought
death close in the wake of the greatest
and most daring achievement of Ce-
drino's remarkable career as a driver
of racing automobiles.
Cedrino was one of the most noted
automobile drivers in the world, n
had taken part in all the great races
and speed trials of this country and
Europe. He was chauffeur to Queen
Helena of Italy before he entered upon
his career as a driver of racing auto
mobiles.
C~edrino's first entry in this country
was in 1904, when he came here with
a championship record. On August %,
1905, he made a new worlds track
record of SO minutes IA 2-5 seconds for
fifty miles. at Long Branch. He drove
in the Vanderbilt cup race, when his
car broke down. He won the 256-mile
race at Ormond on March 5 of this
year, and completed 300 miles at an
average speed of 1902 miles an hour, a
new worlds record from start to finish.
He lowered the record for middleweight
cars to So seconds for a mile. He held
all track records from one mile up to
twenty-five.
