New Record for the Race.

The performance OF the winning LoZier
was a revelation 20 the throng Of twenty
thousand speed enthusiasts damned in the
rrandstand and along the homestretch. for
n not only created a new Vanderbilt Cup
record but hung up new figures for the
famous Savannah course.
For the total distance Of the race the
winners averaEe-74O7 miles an hour-iust
failed % equal the worlds record Of 74a2
miles. made by Herrick with a National
car az Santa Monica, Cal, a few weeks
ago.
Herrick. however. made his figures in a
race Of only 202 miles. When Milford fin
lshed his twelfth lap to-day he had COW
cred 215 So miles at an average speed Of 1890
miles an hour. so that Savannah can right
ly assert its claim 10 having the fastest
course in the world. even though the inter
mediate record may not be officially recog-
nized
While the victory was a popular one. II
was rather unexpected. The crowd looked
FOR David Bruce Brown in the Fiat, De
Palma in a Mercedes and Burman In a
Ma~uon to be most prominent. but the
first and last named OF the trio failed even
10 finish. while De Palma was unable 20
overcome the hard luck that has persist
emily followed him in road races for some
years. odds Of and 10 ] were being Of
fered against Mulford's chances before the
race with no one finding them particu-
Iarly alluring.
The Savannah challenge trophy and the
Tiedeman trophy races were run as cur
tain raisers Hughie Hughes won the for
ner in a Mercer car while Frank witt
drove an T. NJ F 10 victory in the latter.

FISHING IN WESTERN KANSAS.
Sport Furnished by the Big Irriga-
ton bitches.
From the Kansas City Star.

Fishing in the big irrigation districts
adjacent to Garden City without hook or
line is the newest diversion among men
and boys. Go out north, west or north
west from town any fine morning and you
will encounter men and boys going to
or returning from the bitches with fish
in ample quantities.
The United States Sugar and Land
Company's monster reservoirs are now
being emptied into the bitches for the
beet and alfalfa crops Thus thousands
Of fish find their way through the head
gates and into the bitches. The bitches
are running almost bank full One place
where one ditch is flumed across another
the water goes tumbling like small cat
aract. and 1t isn't an uncommon sight to
see the fish jump in the air and splash
into the water.
Men who are running the bitches, culti-
vators of growing beets, workmen at the
various pumping plants and men and boys
from town wade knee deep in the bitches
or stand or kneel beside the banks and
draw out the fish with their hands Many
of the smaller boys splash around or
swim in the bigger bitches, disdainful Of
any attire except the most scanty, keep
ing cool and catching fish too.
The fish are Of many varieties. There
are many very large German carp. of
course: many buffalo-one man caught q
seven-pounder the other day-Some cat
some bass, some sunf1sh and many perch.
The bass, of course, are subject to attack
by the carp, though the sugar company.
from time to time, generously stocks its
reservoirs with bass.
