Early in the Race.

In a light wind varied by

are battling for the worlds S
Watching trophy today. When
the fog bank which settled
down soon after the start lift
ed the Resolute, the America s
cuD defender was leading the
Shamrock by half a mile hav-
ing increased the lead of 200
yards she had at the start.
The race is of fifteen miles
out and fifteen miles back and
must be finished within six
hours, if it is to be a race.
The Shamrock because of her
superior spread of sail gives
the Resolute six minutes and
forty seconds in time.
AT the start the Shamrock
bungled badly being over the
line when the signal was given.
AS a result she was obliged to
turn back and recross the line,
the Resolute sailing away near
,ly a minute in the lead.
At 4 80 the yachts had COW
cred only six miles of the thir-
ty and unless the wind. fresh

no race today.
At 4 AS the, Resolute was
slowly increasing her lead in a
drifting match.
Resolute led Shamrock by
half a. mile after 2 hours of
sailing, when the yachts had
covered ten miles of their sc
mile course.

Officials of local posts and Walter
Chandler chairman of the arrange
ments committee for Sundays meet
ing, disclaim any responsibility for the

were copied from the first enlistment

they were issued.
In a number of cases soldiers mar
ried after joining the army and moth
