The congressman sat down in the

read the Sunday Oregonlan?" he
asked. No, the reporter had not read
It. He read the Portland Journal
when he couldn't get the news
straight from the fountain head.
"Well," said Mr. Williamson, '.

prospects for a finish within the time

A wireless message says: Reliance

yachts are still some distance from
the outer mark. Reliance is steadily
increasing her lead.
At 3:30 the wind at the starting
line is barely four knots. Unless
Reliance carries a breeze with her
she will hardly finish within the time

At 3:15 an aerogram says Sham

At 3:15 the yachts are still lost to
