Through telegraphic advices re-
received in Walla Walla yesterday 1t
is learned that at least twenty cars
will start from New York on June
/. in the international automobile en-
durance contest to be run from that
city to Seattle The cars will pass
through this city as Walla Walia is on
the route of the contestants.
The transcontinental automobile
competition for the Guggenheim tro-
ply is now an assured fact as Seattle
promoters have succeeded in raising
$4,000 necessary to insure the contest.
The money is to be used in the pay
ment of cash prizes for the winning
cars, together with $4,000 given by Mr.
Guggenheinl. The money has been de-
posted with the contest committee.
The trophy and the cash prizes will
be delivered to the winners at an elab-
crate banquet to be given by the Seat
tie Automobile club in honor of the VIC
tors.
According to dispatches received in
Walla Walla and elsewhere the Manu-
facturers' Contest association has
adopted resolutions in which it was de-

TWENTY CARS WILL START on
THE GREAT ENDURANCE CONTEST

cided not to lend the support of the
automobile managers to the race. OBJ
lection is based on the fact that the
entry blanks characterized the contes!
as a "race," thereby encouraging the
violation of the various speed restrict
ing ordinances in force in the great
majority of states to be traversed by
the contestants There is no doubt,
however that the transcontinental
event will be held.
The manufacturers contest associa-
ton is evidently laboring under a mis-
apprehension, for at no time has the
event been designated as other than a
contest, and in no part of the entry
blanks, is it referred to as race.
The news that the necessary money
has been raised in Seattle to insure the
contest is more than welcome to the
automobile association of Walla Walla
as they are counting on entertaining
the pathfinder car on it's arrival as
well as providing for the proper recep-
ton of the contesting cars when they
pass through the city.

OUT AHEAD
In Nerve Hacking Struggle Win An
nuaI Boat Race at
Putney.

PUTNEY, April BIN a nerve
racking struggle today, Oxford won
the sixty-sixth annual boat race from
Cambridge on the Thames by three
and one-half lengths in the fast time
of 10 minutes and SO seconds. Ten
days ago the Oxonians were not be-
lieved to have a. chance, but today
under the leadership of a freshman, r.
c. Bourne, who was rowing his first
varsity race. they defeated a crew
whose stroke, d. c. R. Stuart, thrice
had brought his eight to victory.
Ready to Fight.
At the crack of the pistol, Bourne,
the Oxford stroke, caught the water
first, and Immediately showed his vet
eran opponent that Oxford was ready
to fight it out from start to finish
The crews quickly settled down to the
most thrilling race of years.
First the one and then the other
forged ahead until two-thirds of the
course had been covered, when the
dark blues superior weight and stami-
ma began to tell and slowly they crept
to the front.
By the time Barnes Bridge was
reached, clear water was visible be-
tween the boats and thereafter it was
only a question of how badly Cam
bridge would be beaten. Stuart called
on his men for a final desperate squirt,
but although the tired crew answered
pluckily, the rally was short lived,
and did not cut down their opponents
lead, which at the end was being
gradually increased. BY this time
the enthusiasm of the spectators on
the banks of the Thames had grown
to a fever pitch and deafening shouts
of oxford Oxford showed that the
victory was a popular one.
Cambridge Over rated.
Before the struggle was half over il
was apparent that Cambridge had
been over-rated The bow half of the
boat was already showing signs of
the gruelling contest. while the Oxoni-
ans were pulling easily and strongly.
When the Fights were approaching
Barnes Bridge it was seen that No. g
in the Cambridge boat was almost in
a state of collapse, and at the finish
the entire eight except Stuart We're
utterly exhausted.
OXford's improvement during the
last ten days was little short of mar
velous. From a ragged ungainly eight
it developed into one of the best crews
that has represented the varsity in
years.
The crew was not pushed at the
finish or it might have lowered the
time made in the race considerably
Evidence of the Fights rapid rounding
into form is shown by the betting
odds, which dropped from 20 to ]
against Oxford two months ago to
to just before the race.
