ALTERED COURSE
CONSIDERED

Incidentally, the racing commit
tee is strongly considering moving
the racing course a half mile up
the Georgetown Channel from its
location of last year, where the
converging currents Of the Wash
ington, AnacoStia and Georgetown
channels will not be so strong, or
so hazardous to the handling Of
the boats, as they pound along the
course, more of their keelS out OF
the water than in.
Many of the entries of previous
years are expected back in Wash

of the Gold Cup clan.

Clel Perry, of Detroit, will un-

"A noted physician holds the

this accounts for the peculiar

I am sure q little Strychnine or

be immeasurable and the physi-

Nowadays the radio is SO full
of swing that it sounds like q

and historical, which if put in

But while living in Bermuda
about two years ago. Mason got
the idea Of doing a historical
novel about the little known aid
Bermuda gave the colonies during
the, revolution.
With the permission Of the gov
ernmant there, he studied docu-
ments, letters and other material
of that Period.
"Well, found that the liason
between Bermuda and Virginia at
that time was tremendous" he
said. "When the Revolution start
ed Bermuda strongly supported
the colonies. They sold them
powder and shipS--which were ex-
cellent vessels built of cedar. But.
as you know, about half way
through the war they switched
back to the British"

correspondence with the British

Side for Dedication Rites
on June II.

Progress in plans for dedication of
the new Chain Bridge was reported
yesterday afternoon at a meeting of
the committee in charge of the dedi-
catory ceremony to be held June II.
Members of the committee decided
to erect stands for speakers and other
honored guests and a band at the
District end of the bridge for the
ceremonies at 4:30 pm. on that day.
Originally. it was planned to hold the
program in the center of the new
span. but yesterday, Albert Clyde
Burton of the Office of National Cap
ital Park, suggested that automobiles
would not be able to drive across
after the ribbon-cutting ceremony If
stands were erected in the center.
Capt. Ellis r. King, reported that
members of the American Legion in
the District will participate in the
ceremony and will decorate the bridge
with flags. He pointed out that many
persons in the Government would not
be able to attend because the cere-
mony is slated to begin at 4:30 pm,
but the committee members decided
not to change the time to a later
hour because of the traffic congestion
during the rush" hours on M street.
Speakers for the occasion have not
