 The driving contingent included Naz- zaro, Wagner, Hautyast, Rigal and Duray. Nazzaro, who is acclaimed in automobiling circles as one of the greatest automobile helmsman in the world. has brought with him the car in which he won the Floria cup in Italy few months ago. It was in this race that he established the phe- nomenal record of 74A miles an hour for 325 miles. The car which he drove on that occasion is entered in the jSa- vannah race Wagner is only second to Nazzaro in reputation and is re- membered here as the winner of the 1906 Vanderbilt race. 9

ERNE WHIPPED GLOVER.

Philadelphia, Oct 31.-Billy Glo- yer of Boston, substituted for his brother, Mike Glover, was beaten tn the wind-up at the Broadway A. c. here Thursday night by Young Erne of this city Erne carried the fight to Glover in each of the six rounds and got away with the decision with out much trouble.
 Erne had Glover hanging on the ropes number of times, but the Bos- ton fighter was game for anything that Erne could hand him and kept tugging along to the final bell.
 At no time did Erne have Glover in bad, but he kept planting fast jabs and swings with such regularity that there was no question about the re- suit of the bout.

THE PUCILIsTS
Bert Ksyss Got Ills Last Night Fren the EssIishman-
 Other News

Bert Reyes got decisive whipping last night at the hands of Charlie Griffin in their six round bout at the National A. c.
 That the Australian featherweight champion would "come back" and de- feat so clearly the man who knocked him out only few weeks ago was not figured on even by his most en- thusiastic admirers. But the little fellow certainly turned the trick, and did 1t, too. in such clinching man. ner that there can be no question to 1t.
 Grimm, who was trained to the dot, forced the fighting at all stages, never letting Reyes get "set' for his noted haymaker swings. The Australian was right on top of his opponent every second, excepting in the fifth, when Reyes made great rally and put two hard ones over that jared the little foreigner and made him break ground for half minute.
 Reyes evidently figured that Grif- fin would fight the same as he did a few weeks ago, when Reyes put him away, but Griffin carried out an en- tirely different line of attack and got away with 1t, too.
 A fair sized crowd witnessed the set-to and there was no attempt at interference by the police. against whom the National A. c. has an in- junction. The club will doubtless pull off the O'Brien-Langford exhibi- tion on next Friday night, too.
 The battle last night was corker; in fact. the entire card was far above the average.
 There was pretty battle between little fellows in the first set-to of the evening, when Willy Beecher and Young Ely met. They went to a draw.

SPEED LAWS OF 1916.

Coaches Going Nine Miles an Hour
 Frightened the English.
 The outcry daily growing louder in England against the excessive speed of motor cars lends interest to the fol lowing passage from the Annual Regis ter for 1S16:
 A new coach was started in the spring to run to Brighton, distance of fifty-two miles, In six hours. This, however, became alarming, par ticularly in the populous neighborhood of Newington. through which 1t passed, and the parish officers there caused in- formation to be laid against the driv- CTS for driving furiously on the public road so as to endanger the lives of his majesty's subjects.
 The result of this is to be read in Mansard's Parliamentary Reports, 7 June 10, 1s18.
 The attorney general moved for leave to bring In bill the object of which was the protection of the lives and limbs of his majesty's subjects by correcting the enormous abuses of stagecoach drivers. Within thess few days 1t would be hardly credible what a number of applications he had rs- ceived on this subject.
 Some accounts were enough to freeze one with horror. A gentleman of ve- racity had informed him that op Tuee- Fay.

GERMAN COLLEGE MAY
REVERT TO WESLEYAN

Mt Pleasant, September THE GER
tainty that the German college in this
city will be abandoned and affiliated
with the German Methodist institution
at Warrenton, Mo-, is arousing con-
siderable interest here. 1t is under
stood that the plan to consolidate the
two schools at Warrenton was recided
on at conferences OF German Meth
odists at the general conference at
Baltimore in May. The officials of
Iowa Wesleyan University with which
the German college has long been
affiliated were notified of the action
taken over two weeks ago. There
now practically remains only the
amicable dissolution Of the ties ex-
listing between the scheels. There was
a stipulation that if the two institu-
lions ever terminated the relationship
the German college campus would re-
vert to Iowa Wesleyan. There are two
buildings on the campus and with both
buildings the equipment of Iowa Wes-
leyan would be improved quite mater
tally.
1t is not thought that the change
will be made before a year. The Ger
man Methodists have found it a bur-
Cen to maintain two colleges in Iowa
and Missouri and have considered the
consolidation for some time.

CHAPTER VIII.
Mrs. William Tankerlane sat before
the open window of her private sit
ting room in the Hotel Imperial, in
Paris. A sheet of writing paper lay
on the little ormolu table before her.
She held a pen in her fingers, and
every now and then she dipped it into
brass ink-pot, as though she were
about to commence letter. But
time after time the ink dried on the
nib, and no words were written on
the paper.
She had changed greatly during the
few months which had elapsed since
her marriage to William Tankerlane
and the change was not altogether for
the better. Her beauty, it is true
had not suffered, and her pale face
crowned with it's aureole of copper.
colored hair, seemed more lovely than
it had ever been in the days Of her
greatest happiness. But there was a
hard look in her eyes, and GOODNESS
in the composure of her features. She
