 Badly Hurt.

Savannah June 6.-The concluding feature of "pushmobile' races on the beach this afternoon was a speed ex- hibition, racing car being driven by Dr. H. w. Frieberg, professional au- tomobilist. The course was two miles straight-away, with the finish line within 150 yards of large pavilion. Frieberg failed to stop the car after it had passed the finish line. He had either miscalculated or something was wrong with the car. At the last mo- ment he tried to swerve the car and run it into the ocean, but space would not admit of that, and into one of the pavilion the machine crashed, partially wrecking the car and fracturing one of Frieberg's ribs, cutting his head and injuring his spine.
