GRANT RANKS WITH BEST
Drives with Head as Well as
Hands in Auto Races.

Harry T. Grant, who won the SOF0'0N
Vanderbilt Cup for the second year IN sue
cession on Long Island yesterday. Is now
ranked with the great drivers of the day.
NOT only because of what he has accom-
n1tshed. hut because Of his skill, coolness'
courage and steadinesS. The deliberate
vet remarkably quick way in which ne

Grant drove his first race in let AZ a
meet on the Readville. Mass. track ne
was entered in three races TWO OF 'hen'

event, he held the lead for forty-hve nllleS
and then had a tire blow out He m
ished in second place.
In the following year Grant made
clean sweep at the Readville races, WIN
ming every one of the three nxtureS IN
which he was entered, and beating RaIpn
De Palma, Barney Oldfeld and others Inc
same year he made the best time tor saso-
Iene cars at the Worcester. Mass mn
climb and. after a remarkable series OF
tire troubles, he finished second IN the
Lowell road race: also he made the fastest
Ian in the Lowell race although the credit
for this was at first given 10 another. In
the fall of 1905 he won tvo races on the
Providence track. In 1899 he won the gaso-
Iene free-for-aH at the Worcester NH

as follows: Grant, 232 minutes; Dawson
"a minutes: Aitken. 234 minutes; Fleming
al minutes, and Mulford. 243 minutes
AS Fred Wagner stepped out TO wave
the green flag at Grant which would tell
him he had but one more lap TO go there
came one Of the most dramatic incidents
In a race packed with such happenings.
Wagner had the flag raised. but Grant held
up his hand and II was seen that he had
q fat tire.
The strain of excitement became almost
painful. Up to that time Grant had the
race without question, as he had about
two minutes on Dawson, reckoning the dill
ference in their starting time His pit men
worked like mad, and gasoIene was dashed
into the tank in bucketfuls. The tire came
off almost with one movement, and a new
one snapped itself into place. il seemed, al
most automatically.
But while this was going on Aitken

their time was taken.
One interesting feature OF the race was
the fact that, for the fifth successive year
Alicf elm tires carried the winner to VIC
tory.
The members OF the American I<ocomo-
tive Company contingent, entrants or the
Alec car, were nearly beside themselves
with enthusiasm. James Joyce, the man

of Il crowd in the press box. receiving con-

And that was the way Harry Grant won

1.-THE TECHE LAKES"

Newspaper men are supposed to
know every thing and at all times
But it seems to be difficult at times to
keep from getting the things one
knows from being mixed with the
things one does not know. TO Illus
trate: A short time ago one of our
great metropolitan dailies, in dealing
with the question of purifying the wa
tiers Of the Teche. editorially, referred
to the "lakes of the Techc.' He
AYERS that Bayou Teche, once one Of
the clearest and most attractive bodies
of water in Louisiana, =" Well, after
an acquaintance Of some forty odd
years we would not feel justified IN
saying "clearest.'
Again. our metropolitan writer
says: I'm the bayou tTeche) and lis
tributary lakes the foul water has Kill
ed the fish, etc."
The following quotation, taken from
the same editorial, sounds a little like
the account given by the Iberian Of
the destruction OF the fish in Spanish
Lake. but it hardly just,fies the edit
or's conclusion: lit was further found
that in regard to the dead fish in the
lakes their destruction was caused,
not as It was believed, by the chemic-
ais used in the refining IF sugar, bu,
by the water hyacinths. These trou
blesome aquatic plants. which have
brought about SO much annoyance and
loss in the waters of Louisiana "A, d
other Southern States, act as sein,
carrying the fish with them whenever
the wind blows hard enough to force
the lilies against the bank. thus sweep
ing the fish ashore and causing their
death. This discovery will be Of mate
rial assistance in the campaign for the
publication of the bayou ''As a
matter of fact, one OF the Govern
ment) boats engaged in this campaign
(of destroying the water lilies has al
ready started for the Teche lakes"
1t is to be hoped that this confusion
will not confuse others. The Teche is
the grandest and the most beautiful
stream in Louisiana. 1t is second to
none OF equal length for its value as
highway for commerce. But it has no
lakes. nor does it empty into any lake
Ifthe government boat intends to
visit Lake Tasse, Tor Spanish Lake,
for the purpose ofdestroying the lilies,
It will have to bring along a set Of
skids for its cross country trip.
