Reports by Wireless.

Associated Press Boat June 2. (by wireless)-On a fifteen mile triangu- lar course, the cup yachts Vanitie and Resolute crossed the starting line shortly before l o'clock this after noon in the first preliminary race on Long Island Sound, incident to select ing a boat to defend the America 8 cup.
 The Resolute, owned by the flag officers syndicate of the New York Yacht club, slipped over the line at 12:46:12, thirty -four seconds ahead of the Vanitie, built for A. s. Cochrane.
 The weathter was ideal. Just before tn eboats got under way fresh north wester of fifteen knots wrinkled the surface of the Sound but shortly after the start it had decreased to not more than eight or ten knots. A large fleet of yachts and other pleasure craft fol- lowed the racers.
 The Defiance, third of the claim ants for cup defending honors, was not able to start today because her rig was being changed
 Warning Whistle at 12:45.
 The regatta committee gave the warning whistle at 12:45. The Reso- lute, close hauled, was to windward of Vanitie, which also stood along on the same board. Both sloops sent up baby jib topsails in stops. After ma neuvering Charles F. Adams, at the wheel, quickly drove the Herreshoff boat to windward of Vanitie. Reso- lute footed faster than Vanitie and went over the line thirty-four seconds ahead of her rival.
 At 1905 o'clock Resolute was we'll to the weather of Vanitie, and was more than holding her lead.
 Sails of the two sloops caught every breath of air and there was not any evidence of poor drawing sail cloths. The wind had fiattened to about ten knots at 1:15 o'clock.
 Resolute Is Leading.
 Resolute came about at 1920 o'clock, stood up higher into the wind and headed for the Connecticut shore. At 1925 Resolute, after a short board

 Quebec, June 2.-The first public funeral of victims of the collision be- and the collier Storstad is to be held Wednesday when the bodies of nine of the crew will be buried.
 Mayor Napoleon Druin, aided by Canadian Pacific officials and promi- rent men of the town, is arranging for the ceremony which will be an inn posing one. There is to be pub lie procession headed by the Royal Ca nadian Garrison Artillery band, and attachments from the warship Essex and the local military forces will be in line
 The schools are to close and for 8 time business will be suspended.
 Royal Commission Appointed.
 Responsibility for the collision, just now a subject of bitter controversy, will be fixed by the royal commission appointed to make a thorough in- Quiry The members of the commits sion are Sir Adolph Routhier, judge o1 the court of admiralty of Quebec, and the Hon. Ezekiel Mcleod, chief justice and judge of the admiralty court of New Brunswick, appointed by the Canadian government, and George L. Vaux of the British board of trade, named by the British government.
 The hearings will begin June 9, but whether in Montreal or Quebec has not yet been definitely decided.
 Many Disputes Arise.
 The number of disputes that have arisen in the funeral shed is surpris- ing feature of the identification work that has been going on there. Tn one case no less than five persons con- tended for the possession of one of the little girl victims with the result that when the pier was closed last night the body was still classed as un- claimed.
 So altered are the features of the dead that many mistakes are made. Some who were sure at first that they had recovered the bodies of dear ones, later wavered in their belief and sometimes even returned to affirm their previous impression.
 Dilemma Was Created. A curious case was that of Mrs. Price of New Zealand, who had been identi- fled by her niece, Miss Townsend of New Zealand. Somewhat of a dilemma was created when fifteen or sixteen of the Empress crew arrived on the scene and claimed the body as that of Miss Led.r, formerly stewardess of the ill-fated steamer. While the seamen were insistent in their identification, it was Miss Townsend who won the day, as she swore positively that the Jewel ry worn by Mrs. Price was known to her and she was backed up by MT. Webber of the Canadian Pacific rail- way, who knew Mrs. Price personally.
 Some of the bodies have been so mutilated by being battered that those who identified them as men were told that they were those of women. The reason for the mistake was that the hair had been drawn back tightly.
 Palmer's Body Identified.
 One body identified late yesterday was that of Leonard Palmer of the London Financial News, who organ iZed the tour of the British manufac- turers in this country.

been 'going some." In an advertise

in 1885, showing the old fashioned high
wheel bicycle, we read the following:

of his horse. and ever since has used
constantly Columbia bicycle. Summer
and winter it has taken the place of a

in the succession of years, viz: William
and Dell Rundlet, of Birch Run; War
ren, of Mermell, Ohio, and Mrs. Susan

two latter now deceased.
In 1862 Mr.. Rundlet enlisted in the
10th N. Y. Vol. Inf, serving his country
faithfully until the close of the war in
1865. In 1868, together with his fam
lily, he came to Michigan, settling on a
farm near Birch Run, where he re-
mained an Industrious and respected

for many years had been valued and
consistent member of the M. P. church.
In all of the activities and relationships
of life Mr.. Rundlet attained high
ideal. AS husband and father he was
devoted, thoughtful. affectionate and
true. AS citizen he was interested
and patriotic, hazarding life itself in
the service of his country and leaving a
reputation for integrity that is without
bemish. AS friend and neighbor his
cheerful nature, unfailing affability and
ready sympathy will remain not only a
pleasant memory but potent, helpful
influence in the lives of all who knew
him. In his religious views and prac-
tices, he was truly ornamental to the
cause of his illustrious Lord and Master.
