he is convinced his eight-year -old
Bluebird is capable Of faster time
than the 245.733 miles per hour it set
in two record runs over the Daytona
Beach speedway year ago, Sir NAL
colin Campbell is too modest to pre-
dict he will shatter that mark in his
forthcoming trials.
Quiet, reticent about his accom-
plishments in the world Of speed, he
hesitates to foretell what he will do
lest he create false hopes among his
followers. He would much rather do
it, than tell how it was done.
obviously, one cannot with any
degree of certainty tell what his speed
is going to be- he said upon his ar
rival from England this week. Speed
at Daytona Beach depends on so
many factors that one may not make
a positive statement.
For one thing, the Beach must be
in shape. But even then, 1t is faster
at some times than at others, depend
ing upon the amount Of moisture in
the sand.
THE wind is another factor. II we
have following wind going south, 1t
helps bit, but it hinders more on
the return that 1t helps. Carburetion
always is an important part Of Beach
records, and that depends in some de-
gree on atmospheric conditions.
Heavy, damp atmosphere may SUBJ
tract as much as fifty horsepower
from your engine"
The power plan being installed in
the Bluebird for the approaching
trials is the one Sir Malcolm brought
over as spare last year, but did not
use. BY various means, its horse
power has been increased from 1,40O
to approximately $500. This added
power. with slight alteration in the
nose of the machine, is expected to

10 year old Norwegian youth. Burger

He leaped 218 and 226 feet to win
the title, awarded him after a long
argument among the judges who first
picked Hans Beck, Norway, only to
change the decision three hours later
after recount.
Beck jumped 232 in his longest leap,
breaking the course record. After
the recount Beck was credited with
227 points and Ruud 228.1.
Kaare Walberg, Norway, was third
and Ivan ErikSsen, Sweden fourth

Attended by lovely weather, but of
entirely the wrong kind, the 1892 win
ter Olympic games came down to the
final day Saturday in a weller Of
moisture and confusion.
It wasn't the final day at all, as q
matter of fact, for Sunday, after the
games have been closed officially at
3 p. m, with appropriate ceremonies,
the four man bob sled drivers, the
dare devils who have been Turing
great crowds here for three days to
watch rain fall and snow melt, still
have to stage their Olympic cham
pionship.
And it Is just possible that Sunday,
when the bob sleds now are scheduled
to run four heats for the title, will
not be the final day either, but that
Monday and Tuesday, by special dis
pensation Of all Olympic authorities,
will become the final days with the
Olympic bob sled races becoming part
Of the North American and Amateur
Athletic Union championships.
Spring Returns
But the bob sled situation caused
by a sudden return of spring to the
Adirondacks. was only one of the
complications that irked tired ath-
letes, harassed officials and tremen-
dously embarrassed villagers
The citizens of Lake Placid, with a
normal population of $500 were try
ing to explain to a large part of the
$4,000 visitors in town why it wasn't
showing, and what use they could
make Of gay colored ski costumes.

boots, when the balmy air talked Of
white flannels.
Officials, particularly the three
who judged the championship ski
jump Friday, still tried to explain why
Hans Beck Of Norway was awarded
the title shortly after the jumps end
ed and three hours later, on a re-
count, Burger Ruud, his team mate,
was given the award.
Search For Snow
AS for the officials, they were try
ing to patch together all the loose
snow left in the hills for footing for
the so kilometers cross country ski
run this morning with little success
All through the night $50 workmen
searched the woods for snow as
though there were hunting rabbits.
At dawn a group of expert ski run

tracks for Utterstrom. Swedish de-
Tending champion and the 80 chal-
lengers for his Olympic title.

last day with 80 points piled up

 had resided. In that time the once fashionable residential dis trict has been converted into the now Bohemian Greenwich Village. Voorhis was retired last Octo- Der as president of the board of elections on an $8,000 annual pen sion. Voorhis had felt he had almost outlived his time. Last July 27, when reporters called on him for his annual birthday interview he turned to them and said:
 T said the last one would be the last. have had too many birthdays. Let the others have birthdays, I have had enough. It is all in the makers hands; we must let things take their course"
 But John Voorhis never was an old man. Even when his mind turned back over the intervening span and he spoke of the farms on lower Fifth avenue, of the days when New York got so big that Fourteenth street had to be Wid- ened from river to river, of the horse cars and of the great names of yesteryear he always did so as an interesting story teller rather than an old man digging back into "reminiscences.
 He was born in Pompton Plains, N. J., and had spent 100 years in New York city. The bulk of that time he had been actively associ- ated with government and politics.
 Last Monday night he missed meeting of Tammany society for the first time in 40 years. A friend met him on the street that day and he expressed regret at being un- able to attend.
 Sixty-seven years ago Voorhis became democratic leader of the ninth ward and In 1871 turned antf-Tammany during the Tweed exposures. His first political ap- pointment came in 1873 as excise commissioner. He fought Tam many bitterly for 20 years. his or ganization becoming known as "Voorhis democracy"
 His differences with Tammany were patched up and he has as- cendcd the Tammany ladder. until he became the grand sachem and for 20 years he has ruled over that society which has become the pow erful political organization known as "Tammany HalI".
