From the drop of the starter's flag until the Americans swept under the finish line amid a din of old-fashioned Yankee cheers, it was a raee to quicken pulses. Except for the first 100 meters when the British got slight Jump, the Calif ornians led all the way but at no stage was their margin quite a full length' nor at any time except In the last furlong was the result an apparent certainty. Youthful power and drive, and an unconquerable spirit such as they have displayed in all their races this season enabled the Golden Bears to beat the more experien ced Britons a powerful array in dividually but lacking the finish ing punch in their strokes. Bad Start Overcome The Callfornlans had the stuff to overcome a rather poor start and tae a commanding lead.

While the report was Interpre ted somewhat bulllshly on the stock market, no easing influence was felt on the money market, rail money" advancing to 8 per cent and time money to V4 for some dates as banks called an other $25,000,000 in loans. At the same time 150-180 day ac ceptances moved up to 5 VI Per cent, The possibility of a beginning of the return of gold Interested the street particularly because ex ports of 9500,000,000 In gold from this country during the past few months .'has' chiefly been blamed for the present stringent credit situation. A reversal of the flow at this time would be regard ed as certain relief from the high money rates Wall Street is look ing for when the autumn demand ror crop movement and commer cial funds begins. However, an the federal reserve has encour aged the restriction of credit in an effort to induce banks to repay their borrowings and to check 3uch speculation as was seen dur ing the recent "bull market," such i purchase at the present time, it Is believed, would Indicate a de cided change in federal reserve policy. The bank officials never have intimated that such a change vas contemplated. Increase in money rates was iscribed chiefly to the week-end iemand by banks for funds to strengthen their reserve position ind to the usual "pay roll and hot log Influence" which at the end if eih week takes funds for pay rolls and week-end recreation ex penses. Customarily an equal and eturn flow of funds Is noticed on ihe first three days of the follow ing, week, much of the money wining back from banks at near ly summer resorts. 25 MILES IN WIDTH MIAMI.

A vast sheet of flood waters. 25 niles wide in places and of unde ermined 1 ength, lay tonight in :he Everglades lowlands west of Port Pierce and around the east ern and northern shores of Lake Dkeechobee as a result of torren tial rains accompanying the West Indian hurricane. Within the expanse were many marooned families, thousands of icres of fertile tilled lands, citrus troves and settlements. Definite jews from many communities iwaited the recession of waters. Highways, for the most part, still were blocked by washouts or over flow and the few caravans which have emerged or entered have lone so under difficulties. Okeechobee City, with about 1200 population, was .the largest iffected town. Storm" damage to the city was estimated at many housands of dollars. Efforts to r each Indiantown, where two men were reported killed, were unavailing as the highway to that place, 20 miles southeast of Okeechobee, was im passable and the railroad out of service. Water was eaid to be tour feet deep In the town. Fifty persons were marooned at Hulls Grove, five miles west of Jupiter, when the Lomahatchee river rose and swirjfld over the country for miles. An Important Instance of . the balance of Nature Is Involved In the fact that most flowers are de pendent for pollination on the vls- its of insects. rtmN& MARCO'S IDEA FLOOD III DO G GONE 30 People Injured in - Heed on Collision on Peznsylcama Trolley PITTSBURGH.
