Dunn Finishes With Crawl.

tenacity and power of youth Toward
The end he was thirty yards bsca, ana

gruclling race he hurled himself for

and crept up on his man yard over yarJ.
Il was only when the seconds Of Rich
ards shouted a warning that the latter
sprinted and won. In few more yards
Dunn might have won or made possible

Richards and Dunn had kept within

down ;he course, but a. a point about
one mile north OF Sandy Hook Dunn
seemed 20 lose his strength. He lost
perhaps thirty yards, and the horsing
tide carried him over 10 the westward

lateral course was his undoing. But
when his handlers called on him for
squirt he threw everything he had lef,
into the dying effort and crept up on

challenge with a sprint. and the men
