Mitchell Protect.
Concerning J. W. Mitchell's clnlm
of unfairness, In tl)e twenty-five foot
boat race, Dr. Ilnrtlo mndo tho fol
lowing statement to-day:
"'Hie taco wns mnde just ns fair ntt
ii'c judgos could poxfdbly niiko It nnd
II there was any unfairness, It wn be
cniiBo tho owners of tho Nnvnjo,
Venus nnd Piker overestimated tho
speed of their boats. In the handicap
races, tho handicap Is llgurod from
the estimate of speed of the crafts
turned In by tho owners themselves.
Tho rulos also provlrto that It th
boats shall exceed this speed by five
per cent tho entry shnll bo thrown
out. Well, tho Auto wns entered threo
dnys hoforo tho rnco lint tho estimate
of speed wns not secured from tho
ownor. When tho judges atnrtod to
flgnro tholinndlcnps, tho ownor of tho
Auto was not thero nnd tho Judges ac
cepted the estimate of eighteen miles
ns tho Auto's speed ns estimated by
tho owners of tho other entries. Well,
when -Mr. noRero arrived with tho
Auto he declared that eighteen miles
was too speedy for his boat nnd gavo
In her speed ns fifteen miles. Conse
qucntly, tho Judges had to chango the
handicap, and thu Auto's was mndo
thirteen minutes Instead of eighteen
minutes. Mr. Mitchell with tho Tug
wns the Inst of the flvo to enter tho
race, not fling with tho Judgca until
tho morning of tho race. Well, at
tho finish, tho Auto bent tho Tag Just
one-fourth of a second, according to
the oMcInl timekeeper, that Ib, the
Auto made the courso In thirteen and
one-quarter seconds Iosb than tho Tag
did. Tho otllclnl figures kIiow that
tho Auto's speed In tho raco was ac
tually about twolvo miles per hour.
Wo umlenvorotrto mnko It Just as fair
an posslblo and I bellovo that tho only
Injustice dono wnB to tho owners of
tho Piker, Venus and Navajo nnd that
was because they personally rated
their crafts too high."
Like Coos Hay.
U. F. CK hns sent to tho Tlmos a
communication In which ho thanks
tho peoplo of Coos :lny for tho cour
tesies extondud him. Tho communi
cation is ns follows:
Through Tho Tlmos wo wlsli l
thnuk tho Coos Dny Motor Bout Club
nnd tho pooplo of Coos Bay for tho
opportunity of winning as valuable a
cup as wns won by the Pacor In tho
free-for-all rnco and also for tho roynl
troatmont nnd good fellowship shown

tho water carnival of next year will
