WAGNER IN FIAT
CAR CAPTURES
BIG AUTO RACE
Frenchman Goes 65.5 Miles an
Hour, Setting New Amer
lean Record.

SAVANNAH, Nov. 27.-Louis Wag-
ner. a Frenchman, winner of the Van
derbilt cup race of 1906, drove an
Italian Fiat car to victory yesterday
afternoon in the Grand Prize race.
Though he beat Victor Hemery, an
other Frenchman, in the German Benz
car by a margin of only ffty-six sec
onds, Wagner established a new rec
ord for road racing in America.

Wagner covered the 402 miles of toruous
ronds in $40 minute 81 seconds, an average
speed of 65.5 miles an hour. The best time
previously made In a road race in America
stood TO the credit of George Robertson,
who averaged 6i.3 miles an hour when he
proved victorious in the Inst race for the
Vanderbilt cup. The worlds record fol
sustained speed still stands to the credit OF
Felice Navarro, the Italian who drove the
Flat No. 6 into third place in yesterdays
race. In the Florio cup race, decided In
Italy this year, NaZzaro covered a course
of 32S miles ut the extraordinary average
rate of 74.3 miles an hour.
From first to last the race was a thrilling
struggle between Wagner, Hemery ant
Nazzaro. The American entrants were
beaten early, and before half the course
had been covered 1t was plain that none Of
the native machines had a chance againsi
the leaders. But the actual finish between
the foreign cars was the closest and mos
exciting in the history OF automobile roat
racing, the winner being in doubt until thu
official times were announced.
Nazzaro was In front the greater part o
the way, but at a critical stage OF the con
test he took a chance, and the chance
turned against him and lost him the prize
He. was in the lead as ne entered the las
lap, but 1t was by a margin of little NOR
than a minute. One of his tires showed
signs of weakening, and for a few hurrie'
seconds Nazzaro and his assistants de
liberated en- the advisability Of making
change and replacing the worn tire by

that the tire would carry him to the en'
of the race. Within four miles Of the finish
Ing line the tire burst, and the consequen
delay was enough to push Nazzaro bacl
from first to third position In the fna
order of the awards.
The race was remarkably free from acci
dents, and Fritz Erie, who drove the Ben
No. 10, was the only driver who sustaine'
any serious injury. For more than half tn
race Erie was a close contestant witt
Hemery. Nazzaro and Wagner for frs
honors. and as the quartet followed one an
other past the grandstand at the end of tn
tenth lap little more than a minute sepa
rated the first from the last.

Hart, for Princeton. Scores Four
T0uchdowns Against

The eleven young men of Stevens In

the Princeton scrub football warriors
yesterday at Orange Oval had one
thing to be thankful for on that Juicy
Thanksgiving morn--that is that they
had their jerseys left on their backs
after the Tigers had finished their
job. 1t was "just like eating turkey"
for the Orange and Black team. and,
we'll, to make a long story short,
Princeton won, 80.

that knows the ropes OF the game, but II
was only a morsel for the big Tiger. Bel

Golden Wedding.


SO the Woman's Relief Corps and
the two Posts G. A. r. combined
to make it a day long to be remem-
bered as a pleasant place along
life's journey. Mr.. and Mrs. Stever
were married in the State of India
ma, but came with the earliest set
tiers to this colony where they have
lived ever since, making many
warm friends who were glad to
have an opportunity to show that
their aid and assistance and pleas
ant fl iendship has been apprecia-
ted. The wedding dinner was
served at the W. r. @. Hall which
was tastifully decorated in gold,
white and green; the dinner was
served by the Corpsa$tSnd the many
other friends that came to help Gel
citrate the occasion; and any one
that has ever participated in one
of the dinners and entertainments
know that they always do their
best on an occasion of this kind.
There was between 125 and $50
who partook Of the excellent din
ner and still there was plenty left,
for the ladies of this colony and es
pecially this body of them do not
believe in doing things by halves.
After the dinner all journeyed
to the upper room, and when the
Master of ceremonies called Tor Or
der the bride and groom of50 years
ago we're escorted in and given a
seat on the platform, then prayer
was offered by Rev. Harden, os the
Presbyterian Church. A song was
then suny by QUARTET, then be-
gan the presentation ola few to-
kens of remembrance. First, Mrs.
j. r. Green in behalf of the Corps
of which she is an honored member
presented beautiful rug in the
name of Colony Corps, No. 2, in a
very neat little speech; then the
Master of ceremonies thought it
about time for comrade Webster to
present his memento, and he said
in presenting it that it was to re-
mind them of their youth, as it
consisted of a toy high chair with
a small doll standing in it; next
was beautiful and servicable rock
ing chair, presented by comrade
Brooks in behalf of the comrades
of Posts Ii and II G. A. r.
A lovely cushion by Rev. 3. e.
Slower from the Ladies Aid OF
which Mrs. Stever had been presl-
dent in the past and by which she
is dearly loved. A set of glass
dishes decorated with gold was
presented from Mr.. and Mrs. l..
o. Tisdel the grocer with whom
they have traded for years, a nice
berry set from Mr.. and Mrs. Will
kerson besides several other pres
ents that we did not find out the
name of the doners. The minis
tiers os the city each Of whom had
received an invitation to attend
and had accepted with their famll-
les we're then called upon to con-
tribute speach apiece and as two
of them were still single they
thought it would be little hard
for them to make speach on such
an occasion but did nobly as near
" all ministers do whea called up
on. A very beautiful solo entitled
ut Have Grown So Used To You"
was very appropriate representing
as it does the love that is still IN
the heart Of the aged Husband for
the wife of his youth: Ali that at
tended seemed to enjoy themselves
to their greatest capacity and went
home wishing that Golden We'd
dings would occur oftener and that
this especial couple might celebrate
another Golden Wedding at the
end of another so years.

How 1t Feels To Be
Held Up.

was his first visit since the big
Yellow Stone Park stage robbery
in which he was a CONSPICUOUS ac-
tor.
Naturally Mr.. Drew's friends
in the city were curious to hear
of his experience and hear him tell
at first hand how it feels to be held
up by a masked man and robbed.
Mr. Drew was one of a large par
ty which filled sixteen stage coach
es making the five days tour of
Yellow Stone Park. The Park is
patrolled by regular garrison of
soldiers and visitors are not allow
ed to carry arms in the reservation
or to disturbe the game that
abounds throughout'the large area
embraced in the National reserve.
The highwayman evidently under
stood the rules with reference to
firearms and understood the where
abouts of the National patrol.
Mr.. Drew states that he was
|rideing on the box with the driv-
er and that his coach was the eighth
of string of sixteen stages loaded
with tourist. They we're near the
great divide and had been in the
Park about three days when sud-
denly one morning a masked high
wayman stepped in the road just
ahead of the coach on which he
was rideing. Mr.. Drew saw the
man step from the bushes into the
road and present his rifle. He
had allowed eight of the coaches
to pass and they had gone ahead
oblivious of what was taking place
i'll the rear. Mr.. Drew was the
first man held up. His step son,
Mr.. Freeman, was rideing with
him on the box. The highway
man orderde him down and hand
ed MIN bag to hold in which the
money and Jewels were to be placed.
Then ne called for Mr.. DreWs peck
ct book which contained eight
twenty dollar bills and number
Of important notes and papers
and when he started to take the
papers from the book the robber
ordered him to drop the book and
all into the sack which he prompt
ly did The other passengers
were made to deliver into the sack
held by Mr.. Freeman.
Before the coach on which Mr..
Drew was a passenger was through
with the second coach drew up in
the rear and a third and so On I'M
til eight coaches stood in line.
The robber cautioned the driver
of the first coach not to move un-
til he had finished and gave him
orders, explaining that he would
kill the young mau, Mr.. Freeman,
who held the sack for him, in the
event there was any trouble. Mr..
Drew explained that with that
kind of a threat he had no thought
of allowing the driver to move on
had he shown any disposition of
doing so.
After the robber had gone
through the eight coaches and Sc
cured about three thousand dol
lars in cash and jewels, he order
ed the drivers to move on, which
they did with alacrity. After the
garrison was notified the highway
man was trailed several miles and
the papers and such stuff as he
did not want to keep were left in
a pile and there Mr.. Drew recov-
cred his pocket book and
pppers but not the eight twenty
dollar bills.
One other passenger contributed
more than Mr.. Drew, it cost him
two hundred and ten dollars.
Some of the victims however came
off lightly. One young lady con-
tributed fifteen cents and another

WEDDING SPOILED BY
BRIDEGROOM'S ARREST
Man Locked Up on Charge Of Steal
ing a Taxicab In New York.
Brde-to=Be in
Tears

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27.-In an eff
ding bells chimed last evening, as it
had been arranged they should, for
Richard S. Cook, for he, the groom that
was to be, occupied cell in the cen
trail police station. 1t was red taxi
cab that was the cause of oil the
trouble. Cook, who Detective Tucker
declared was sometimes known as Liv-
ingstone, had gone to New York on
Friday last to act as chauffeur in the
place of one of the men who are on
strike in that city. He declared he
was to get anything he made over $50,
and that when he turned that amount
in to the company he had the privilege
of taking out his taxicab again and
keeping it out until the next morning.
His first thought, he said, was to take
a spin over to Philadelphia and give
the young woman, who is employed
in a store on Chestnut street, what is
sometimes known rather unpleasantly
among auto owners as 10y ride"
The journey proved unpleasant for
Cook, who, before he left this city,
lived with his mother at the rear of
470 North Franklin street, where the
wedding reception was to have been
held last evening. Cook left New York
on Saturday night and at New BrunS-
wick the taxicab was struck by a train
and badly damaged. He had 1t re-
paired, however, and was able to make
the journey to Philadelphia. On Sun
day night he started to return to New
York after completing arrangements
for his marriage, which was to have
taken place last evening. His machine
broke down at Newark, and, after con-
siderable delay, he got into New York.
Passing the newspaper offices in that
city, he read on flaming bulletin boards
that man with a red taxicab was
wanted for being implicated in one of
the most daring jewelry robberies that
have taken place for a long time. Ac-
cording to his own story, he had moth
ing whatever to do with the robbery,
did not know that such a thing had
taken place, and he was so scared that
he came back to Philadelphia early
yesterday morning. The police and de-
tectives had been looking for the young
man on information received from New
York authorities, and as he was en-
tering his mothers house he was ar
rested by Officer LeMaistre.
Captain Gallagher started Detective
Tucker to make an investigation, and
from what he can learn 1t was all a
mistake to connect the young man with
the New York jewelry robbery. He
stealing the taxicab. He pleaded with
the detectives to allow him to go
through the marriage ceremony last
evening, as arranged, but they de-
clared they had no power TO release
him without permission of the New
York authorities. The young woman
who was to have been his bride was
Frustrated over the predicament of her
husband-to- which had postponed
the wedding, and she declared she re-
garded it as a bad omen for their flu
ture happiness.
