Sensational Episode.
Dcnknyff, the French driver, was
the first to enter on the last round,
followed four minutes and 52 seconds
later by Ganatzcy, the German. Bar
ring accidents, the latter should win,
Inasmuch as he started 14 minutes

broke down at Athay, four hours
after the start.
The day has been one of great ex
citement. Owen and Genatzey
fought for first place almost In front
of the grand stand, at S:50 this morn-,
ing. Owen came a 00-mlle clip, while
a few yards behind came Gcnatzky,
leaning forward, forcing his machine
to Its limit In full pursuit of Owen j
and at 75 miles an hour. The crowds
rose enmasse, cneenng at me piucxy
exhibition. There was an immense
swirl of dust, from which Genatzey
emerged in the lead.
Owen later sustained damages to
his car, but continued holding on to
Genatzey with grim determination,
and passed the stand the second
round at 10:24, being four minutes in
the rear of Genatzey, but still press
ing bis machine to its utmost. He
was given great applause.
German Won the Race.
Genatzey, the German, won the
race, according to unofficial reckon
ing. Denknyff, the Frenchman, reach
ed the mark first, but Genatzey re
ceived the time allowance, beating by
10 minutes.
Official Award.,
Genatzey has been officially de
clared the winner by a time margin
of about three minutes. The Scott
Montague trophy for team work was
won by the French team.

ers of the San Pedro, Los Angeles &

ified the action of the directors In
forming a bonded debt. The trnnsfei
of the Oregon Short Line trackage of
300 miles to Callentes. Nevada, It Is
now said will occur July 15, owing to
a hitch In tho negotiations between
Clark and Hnrriman.
This is the first completed chapter
In the history of Senator Clark's
great scheme to build an approxi
mately straight lino of railroad be
tween llntte, Mont., and Los Angeles.
Such a road, which may now bo con
sidered an eventual certainty, will
shorten the distance between thoso
points approximately 700 miles. Sen
ator Clark himself estimates three
years for its completion, which In
cludes several hundred miles of en
tlrely new road paralleling tho mid
ille course of the Colorado river.
The ultimate destination of the
road is San Diego, Cal., which Is also
an objective point of the Rock iBland,
which Is working toward it from tho
eastward.
The development of San Diego as a
deep harbor terminal for the Rock
Island and the new Clark system will
follow and Is regarded as a certainty
by students of Southwestern Industrials.
