tanned injuries that caused death in

cut and bruised when Shain's ma
chine shot out of the cup-shaped
track on the Concession pier at Ven
ice, this afternoon, and plunged into

small size of the track on which he
rode and the great speed at which he
travelled. The cup is 20 feet in diam
eter at the top, and it requires a
speed of 55 miles an hour to keep an
automobile on the almost perpendicu-
lar track. A thin red line a foot be

for the driver.
Shain lost control of his machine
and it went over the Dead line" At
ter splintering several railing posts

through the railing and among the
spectators. Then the automobile fell
back with Shain underneath.
