The English boat shot into an immediate lead. At the end of the first lap it was half a mile ahead Finishing the second and third laps it seemed that only a mishap could deprive it of a vie- tory. Approaching the finish of the fourth lap, however, Wood had all but overtaken Don. A few yards more and he shot into the lead. At the final gun, he was nearly two miles in front of the British challenger. The sec- ond heat will be run over the same course on Monday morning and a third it necessary on Tues- day. Don's Boat Waterlogged Miss England III, Kaye Don's boat arrived at its boatwell at the end of the heat with its stern riding low in water. Don said that the boat had taken consid- erable water during the heat, but he did not know the cause. As Miss England neared the boat houfe at the end of the race, a mechanic standing on the prow called to the operators of the shed boat to rush her into the well as soon as possible, Don called for pails to bail out the craft. Asked why the boat appeared so low, Don replied "We began taking water. I don't know how. I don't think we sprung a leak and I don't think we shipped all the water we took on board. How it got there I don't know. That is what we will have to find out today. He expects to race again on Monday." The English pilot added that he did not believe he had struck anything in the course and that although the lake was rough, it was no rougher than the water in which the boat had been run before, "It was a fine course," he con- tinued, "I could see clearly and it was a pleasure to drive." Something Went Wrong '""At the end of the third lap I lost a lot of revolutions--you can see | lost a lot of speed. Something just went wrong, that's all." j Harry Greening of Hamilton, Ont., Canadian representative on the committee, said he believed Miss England's spark plug had been fouled. Soon after the Miss England was docked chains were placed about the craft and it was hoist. ed from the water and an inspec- tion of its hull begun. "The world's a small place," said the hore. "For instan:s, last year in Paris I met a man who lives in the next road to me. Later T met him in Venice, next in Rome, again in Alexandria and finally crossed the channel wi'n him." "Why on earth didn't you pay him what you owed him in the first place?" asked tha man in the corner. | | passinz | meaning | North LATE THOMAS LAW: 15 LAID T0 REST Large Gathering Pays Last Tribute to Citizen of Pickering (Miss Jean Clark, Correspondent) PICKERING, Sept. 1, -- One of the most largely attended funerals ever held in Pickering took place on Sunday afternoon when friends and relatives from all through the township and outside points gathers ed to pay their last respects to the late 'I'homas Law, who passed away in Oshawa hospital on Thursday last, in his sixty-tifth year.
