The curtain fell this afternoon, however, on several thrills almost at the same moment. The relay race proved a sensation. The finish between Great Britain and K Germany was so close that it looked like a dead heat. The Englishman, Ap- pleg-arth, undoubtedly was a few inches ahead of the German, but to make as surance doubly sure the committee felt compelled to disqualify the German team as they did the American team yesterday. ,.- -- - v Flaaa Smash World's Records. The contingents of the Northern n tions which had the Javelin all to them selves were Immensely excited when the Finns won that event In one-two three order. Not1 only did the-Finns have the satisfaction' of being the only persons except the Americans so far to flf their colors for a triple victory, but they broke two world's reoorda Seven preliminary heats in the 1500- meter flat race furnished good exhlbl tions.

' The Hawaiian. Kahanamoku, - was vastly first In one minute 2 2-5 seconds, which equals the world's record he made in winning his trial heat. He led all the way. HuszagJ beat McGllllvray by a. few feet and qualified for the fi nal. Hawallaa Adjudged American, There has been some controversy as to whether the Hawaiian should compete as- an American, but- it is pointed out that he is in the same position as the ' Indian.

THEY HAVE STUDIED EVERY MAKE OF CAE, from rear axle to radiator. They know the weak and the strong parts of . every car that is worth knowing about.
