 Palm Beach, Fla, March 14.-There was an exciting time on the lake yesterday afternoon when William J. fer II. which he had entered for the races, ran away. The Chairman of the New York Democratic State commit tee and c. A. Cragin. President of the Sterling Engine Company of Buffalo, which built the boat, were standing on the dock watching it making speed trials over the mile course.
 The fast craft had gone over the course once, and was ready to make the turn near the bridge when the crew was suddenly thrown out in the water. The boat which was said to be going at about 36 miles an hour, ran wildly in and out between a num- Der of yachts anchored in the lake. Suddenly it turned due northward, bridge and straight up the lake out Of sight. Needless to say, there was a wild commotion.

Earl Coleman of Buffalo. the engineer, and Edward Fowler, a mechanic, escaped without injury. but Fred Orr, the mechanic had a deep gash cut in his head when he dived to escape the. boat. In the meantime the Courier IT., had gone at full speed up the lake and, escaping launches, sailboats, and yachts by a narrow margin, struck sandbar, where it was grounded. It is question to- day whether the damages can be re- paired in time for the races on Tues day.
 MT. Corners explained that Coleman, the engineer had started to slow down for the turn when a screw came loose. This put on full speed, and the turn was negotiated at such terrible mo- mentum that everything went over board. The Courier II, has a 240 horsepower engine and great things were expected of her. MT. Corners is rather amused at her stunt.

BED SHEETS
They Must Be of Legal Size
in New York Hereafter,
Says Inspector.

New York, July 14.-Clement j.
Driscoll, inspector of weights and
measures, has turned his attention
now from short weights and short
berry boxes to short barrels Mr..
Driscoll has notified members of the
local branch of the National league
of commission merchants that after
a date to be agreed upon later that
there shall be no short measure po-
tato barrels in Greater New York.
The commission men admitted to
the commissioner in conference
yesterday that it is doubtful wheth-
err a single potato barrel of legal
size can be found in this city.
The New York state law requires
that a potato barrel shall contain
TIA pounds of potatoes. Mr.. Dris-
coll says he recently received a let
ter from a merchant complaining
that he bought barrel of potatoes
a short time ago which weighed only
1872 pounds.
Mr.. Driscoll lately informed the
big dry goods interests here that
they must cease selling bed sheets
and other articles falsely branded as
to length or width. The merchants
say it is a trade CUSTOM" Mr..
Driscoll says it is more accurately
described by a much uglier word.
