the boats war capable of making but

and tried to produce a boat that would
beat the Hattie. He did well but not
well enough. Mr. Freebaraer had -con
structed a second boat but it could not
produce the desired apeed.

vowing that he will have it. . Thia man
la Mr. Rasch, who brought out five
boata from the eaat and haa tried them
out in the river. He has found one
which .he considers a worty rival to the
Vixen and has issued a challenge to Mr.
Wolf; Mr. Wolf has counter challenged
naming certain conditions for the race,
and that is how - the matter remains. .

as they had prepared a rousing recep
