Real Race Of Day.
The real race was between the
Hummer II and the Scary William
and 1t was pretty contest from start
to finish. The Scary William got
away inside of the Hummer II, and
this time was first around the upper
buoy. At the end Of the nrst lap, the
Hummer II crept up on the neck,and-
neck for the upper turn, Ruddick once
more getting around first. The sec
ond time by the judges barge, Scary
William led by a length. Twice Rud-
dick got around the lower turn ahead
OF Lang. but on the third lap, Lang
slipped between him and the buoy
and was leading by about four lengths
when the two boats passed the
Judges barge the third time.
On the final lap. Ruddfck followed
Lang around the upper turn, closed
up the gap on the down stretch and
sneaked in between Lang and the
buoy just as Lang had done on the
third lap. Having thus gained
slight advantage, Ruddick put on full
speed and the Scary William made
beautiful finish, crossing the line
seconds ahead of the other boat.
This was the closest and best race OF
the afternoon Scary Williams time
was 20 minutes: Hummer II, 20 in
utes and 5 seconds. The Silver Heels
was way behind. finishing fourth. In
AZ minutes, while the Matilda was
fifth, no time taken.

IN Colonial Times.
There we're days of prayer long be-
fore President John Adams issued his
proclamation in the hope Of avoiding
war with France. Back In the strenu-
GUS experiences Of the New England
colonists. in 1921. after the crops had
been gathered in plentitude, Cover
nor Bradford of Plymouth made pro-
visions for the colnnists to rejoice as
pecially together with praise and
prayer for the bounties that had been
bestowed upon them.
While this was designated as q
fast day." it was In reality our first
Thanksgiving day-one Of prayer to
be participated in by all the colonist..
The second day of prayer was in
1923. Things had not been going SO
well with the colonists. They had
prepared their fields, planted. ano
were waiting for the seed to take on
new life. when there came days Of
trouble. The skies remained clear and
bright: there was an absence of rain;
the crops were whitening. and the
drought promised to bring disaster
and great privation.
Once more fast day-a day OF
prayer-was appointed, and on the
designated day the people gathered in
the little Plymouth log meeting
house and about their fresides. and
there began praying for rain. While
they were thus engaged. the rain be-
gan to fall. continuing until the
parched earth had drunk its fill and
the crops were saved.
