NEAR MT. LAKE STATION
William Mackay, Colored, Suffer
ing From Serious Hurts

Suffering seriously from a broken
leg and other injuries apparently
sustained when struck by a passing
train, William Mackay, colored, was
found sprawled across the tracks of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad near
the Mt. Lake Park station, at five
o'clock yesterday morning and was in
a critical condition when rushed to
the Grafton hospital
Mackay, who is thought to be a
resident of Clarksburg, was first dis
covered by Hamilton Weeks and
rushed to Grafton on train No. 3.
First attempts to identify the man
were made by authorities at Mt. Lake
but proved futile as Mackay refused
to discuss the accident and at first
refused to tell his name. He was
removed to Clarksburg from Grafton
yesterday afternoon.
1t is supposed he was employed in
one of the hotels either at Deer Park
or Mt Lake prior to his accident.

WATER REGATTA ON DEEP
CREEK LAKE POSTPONED
POstpOnement Due, Committee
Says, To a Combination of IN
avOidable Circumstances

The Deep Greek Lake Regatta, to
have been held at the lake, seven
miles north of Oakland, on August g.,
has been indefinitely postponed, ac
cording to an announcement from the
committee in charge of the affair
The reason given was due to COM
bination of unavoidable circumstances.
In view of this, the committee felt
that if the regatta could have been
held on August %, all arrangements
could have been completed and its
success assured, but soon after this
date was fixed it was learned that
similar carnival was to be held at
Marietta, Ohio, on that date. The
date of August 16 conficted with
Mountain Lake Park, and this left
August 9 as the only open date.
Just as plans were being matured
DIR. T. E. Billiard, who had been
put in charge of the general ar
engagements for the affair, issuing
invitations to boat clubs, secur
ing entrants ETC., was pain
fully injured when he fell and broke
several of his ribs. Considering all
this, the committee concluded that it
would be best to postpone the regat-
ia until next year rather than at
tempt to carry out the plans it had
in mind in so short a time.
"Just because the regatta has been
postponed this year is no reason why
we should not have a really success
full one next year." Carl Frame,
secretary of the organization said
Yesterday. "The committee will be
continued and will devote all the
time necessary in perfecting plans
for a really great affair next year, to
be held on date to be announced
later, probably the Fourth of July or
whereabouts. This will give ample
time for it to be advertised in all the
sport magazines and to draw entrants
from this entire eastern section OF the
United States. Next year we will put
it across in excellent shape"
