and then lost through a combination of
circumstances in which a police boat
was to blame.
One of the most remarkable perform
ances of the regatta was that of the
Potomac intermediate gig, which won
by two lengths from the Vespers, Of
Philadelphia. The Potomac gig crew
never had rowed together in a gig until
six days before the race. After four
days of training they went to New York
and then practiced for two days in three
different gigs. and rowed their race in
a boat loaned by the Hudson Club, Of
Hoboken-

which Walter H. Thrail. bow, and Ed

a race than an exhibition Of fancy row:

AUTOMOBILES HAVE
CHANGED BRIDGES
Concrete, Iron, and Steel Struc-
lures SuppIant the Old Rick
ETY. Wooden Affairs.
RY HARRY WARD

One of the big men in the motor car
industry is authority for the statement
that the remarkable growth of the auto
mobile industry In the last few years
has revolutionized bridge building on
country roads.
For more than a hundred years
wooden bridges and wooden coverings
over culverts have been adequate for
the traffic Of country roads," said the
motor builder in question. But the tre-
mendous vibration that is set I'D in
these structures from heavy automo-
biles passing over them has taught the
road builder OF today that the wooden
bridge has served its time.
In many places in the country where
the roads are being worked concrete
culverts are being put in. At many
points, too, where year or two ago
there were rickety wooden bridges on
our recent trip We found substantial
steel and iron structures.
This development In bridges and cul-
verts is a big factor in increasing the
safety Of roads TO farmers as wei las
automobiles. Under the old system bad
washouts and bridges were left unre.
paired until the roads were positively
dangerous. The increasing sentiment
for good roads, such as the automobile
has inspired has opened the farmers
eyes to the advantage of having his
roads safe and passable. The spirit of
inactivity Of the farmers a few years
ago is now succeeded by cooperation"

OF which was played at American

won the first by to 0 and the Bank

The Bankers explain the first defeat
by saying that they took too many
chances On the bags and that had II
not been for the too daring attempts
to make bases the result would have
been different. 1t is foregone conclu-

the Grays will be hammered into SUBJ
