a schedule OF twenty miles per hour. are
not conducive TO lowering the scores OF
such automobiles as are competing in
this annual contest Of Chairman Hover

A run to-day Of I75 miles, the longest

wheeler. the Mcintyre. which was forced
to discontinue because II took a jump o.
about ten feet into a ditch.
The car was pretty badly smashed, but
neither the driver nor the observer more
than shaken up, and perhaps discom-
forted slightly.
This is the first machine to leave the
ranks. and regret is expressed at its Un-
timely end. for the tourists admired the
pluck Of those who entered such a little
car. With two others penalized IN the
Hover trophy ranks, there are thus
eleven remaining with clean records, and
thirteen in all None Of the Gliddonites
were touched, only one carrying a pre-

NEGRO LOsEs COURT FIGHT.
Denied Rea-gument - Remarkable
Opinion Rendered.

New York. July 1.-THE appellate divi-
sion OF the Supreme Court has denied a
motion for a reargument Of the appeal
OF George W. Griffin. a negro Pullman
porter, who recovered a verdict for $3.50
against Daniel n. Brady. which was set
aside by Supreme Court Justice Dugro
because the plaintiff wouldn't consent TO
take $500.
AT the time Justice Dugro declared that
a negro wouldn't suffer as much humilia-
ton as white man under similar cir
cumstances and wasn't entitled 20 so
much damages.
Counsel for Griffin. in his appeal for a
reargument. based his request on eonsti-
tutional grounds. and declared that Jus
uce Dugro's remarks were improper The
per curiam opinion OF the appellate divi-
sion stated that Justice Dugro's decision
was sustained after mature deliberation
and discussion by a vote OF TO 2 and
that there IS no ground for a reargu-
ment.
'The afnrmance OF the order Is not 20
be taken as an approval IN any degree
or the expression Of the trial court OF its
views IN collOQuy with counsel" says
