Queen Leaves Dog
And Sport Car as
She Prepares for West

New York, Oct. 21-R)-An over
stuffed black spaniel and a brand
new gray sport roadster were left
behind today as Queen Marie of Ru-
mania and her son and daughter left
New York for a visit to Philadel-
phia's sesqui- centennial.
The spaniel, who answers to the
name of Crag, when that word is
pronounced with an accent few
Americans can manage, is the
queens favorite canine. He was left
to waddle mournfully about the roy
al suite in the Ambassador Hotel
with only a temporary chamberlain
of the kennel to administer to his
doggish wants. The roadster, pre-
scented to Prince Nicolas (who has
informed the scriveners attached to
the royal party that he doesn't spell
his name with an .h") by an auto
mobile company, awaits the return of
its new and royal owner tomorrow.
Her Majesty, before her departure
in the early afternoon on the private
train that will bear her encourage
westward Monday, was a visitor to
the public library, where she browsed
among the tones and scripts for an
hour. Later, with her son and
daughter, she was the guest of the
chamber of commerce at a luncheon.
While the queen was in the library.
the prince and princess went for a
jaunt in the new roadster, Nicolas
driving. A chauffeur who accom-
panied them put the stamp of APP
prevail on the prince as a driver.
The queen was the first woman
ever to be honored by the chamber
of commerce by a luncheon. More
than 1000 members gave her a thun-
dering welcome as she entered. in
reply the queen said she was over
whelmed by the manifestation in her
honor Although colonel of a regi
ment of Rumanian soldiers, the
queen said she had never before
commanded the attention of so many
men by q speech.

This stout-limbed Nebraskan, now q
wearer of the Boston A. A. colors has
figured well up in the middle distance
ranks for some time. He has turned
in worlds record performances and
shared in national as well as Olympic
honors. New heights were reached
by him, however, in two days of sem

the sesqui-centennial stadium. where
he won his first national one mile

longer than the right distance-and
turned in half mile in the unprece-

Athletic authorities claim this as
the fastest half mile ever run under
any circumstances, although it does
not have record standing because it
was made in a relay and from a run
ming start. 1t was one full second,
however, faster than the worlds rec
