Deliver Message in Chicago July q
Intense Interest in the Event.

New York, July 15.-As a pistol shot
rang out on the city hall steps at ~
o'clock this morning, little athlete In
running tights, carrying silver tube
message from Mayor Nc
Clellan to Mayor Busse, in Chicago.
darted away up Broadway on his first
relay of the thousand mile journey to
Chicago. Herbert II. Rapp was the
runner. McClellan's message follows:
ITO the City of Chicago: The city
of New York sends greetings by fieet
runners of the Young Mems Christian
This message is borne on
foot without halt from the Atlantic to
who carry it gain no prize except the
consciousness Of having done their
best"
According to the schedule, the mes-
sage will reach Chicago July 81. Two
thousand boys will take part in the
race and strenuous effort will be
made to break all records for similar
events.
Intense interest In the long sprint is
being taken all over the country, and
crowds will meet the runners at every
point on the long course to cheer them
on their way. Each runner will carry
the message half mile, when fresh
runners will take it on to the next
point on the relief. Perhaps the most
spectacular feature Of the relay run
will be swimming Lake Cayuga by
boys Of the Auburn, N. T., department.
Going around the lake would mean an
addition of several miles to the route.
The Auburn boys will plunge into the
waters of the lake about $50 Friday
morning. The tube containing the
message will be suspended
about the neck OF the swimmer and
will be passed from one boy to an-
other while in the water.
