MOTOR BOAT RACE.
The free-for-all motor boat race,
scheduled to start at seven o’clock,
was started shortly after seven-thir
ty, with four entries, for a first
prize of $50 and a second prize of
$25. The Anderson boat, Fairbanks
Kid, which was last to start, crossed
the line first, with the Douse launch
Victory a close second.
After waiting a quarter of an
hour for the boatmen to get ready,
the committee definitely announced
that the race would be started at
7:30, and that all boats not ready
then would be disqualified. After
this decision had been reached by
the committee, the Douse launch ar
rived from Fairbanks with a load of
passengers and express. The pass
engers were hastily disembarked, but
there was not sufficient time to un
load the freight or to remove the
house. The boat w'as entered just
as it stood and w'as first to get
away.
The Johnson launch Peerless fol
lowed; then came the racing hydro
plane Flea, owned and piloted by
L. W. Hill, and after a lapse of
several minutes, the Anderson racer,
Fairbanks Kid, with Herman An
derson and Peder Nilson on board.
The Anderson boat was fully half a
mile behind the other entries at the
start.
The boats maintained their rela
tive positions for one round of the
course, but in the second lap the
Fairbanks Kid took second place and
forged ahead of the Victory at the
last turn, crossing the line a con
siderable distance in the lead. The
Flea started with two men in the
boat, but the extra weight, which
proved somewhat of a handicap, was
disembarked early in the race. The
house of the Victory and the other
extra weight carried proved a seri
ous handicap to that boat, the
opinion prevailing that Douse could
have won easily, with the start he
had, if he had had time to prepare
his boat for the race.
The Gilcher launch Pronto was
to have been entered by Harley
Kutherford, but late yesterday aft
ernoon he had the misfortune to
burn out a bearing and could not
jet the boat ready in time for the
race. It was expected that the
Commission launch Sunflower would
enter also, but it did not start.
ANOTHER RACE TONIGHT.
The handicap motor boat race will
>tart at seven this evening, with
.he four boats which raced last
light entered. A canoe race is also
scheduled for tonight, to start at
seven. There were no entries for
the squaw race scheduled for last
light.
CROWD AT SHOW.
The special production of “Cleo
patra" , attracted a large crowd to
the Ccdiseum after the boat races
!ist night, and the picture was
rreatly enjoyed. Another special
telebration feature will be thrown
m the screen tonight, the manage
ment having selected “Sporting
Blood,” a racing picture, for the
attraction. The picture is in five
reels, with a Pathe as a curtain
I
CLOSING DANCE TONIGHT.
The celebration will be brought to
a close tonight with a grand ball at
Union hall, under the auspices cf
the Nenana Commercial club, which
has had charge of the general cele
bration Preparations for the dance
have been made by a special com
mittee consisting of Billy Coutts,
Harry Shaw, and Herman Rosburg,
and they are authority for the state
ment that the dance will be well
worth attending. Harry Shaw will
have charge of the floor, which is a
guarantee that things will be kept
mo\ ing
CIVILIANS WIN.
Contrary to expectations, the ball
game held at the school park this
morning proved a very. interesting
feature of the celebration and was
greatly enjoyed by the large crowd
present. The two teams which
crossed bats were known as the
Civilians and the Soldiers and were
very evenly matched, the final score
being 9 to 7, the Civilians being
the winners.
The teams lined up as follows:
Civilians: Hanson, Blakey, Coving
ton (Tennessee), Kestly, Bellerby,
Wright, Huntting, Browne, Doner.
Soldiers: W'argo Fuelling, Rosburg,
Kennedy Taylor, Mathews, Lopsides,
Bruder, Jones.
Corporal “Dooley” umpired the
game in a very satisfactory manner.
MATHEWS CATCHES PIG.
Immediately following the ball
game, one of the Commission’s prize
porkers, loaned to the celebration
committee for the occasion, was
turned loose on the grounds, plenti
fully garbed in grease. There en
sued an exciting chase for the pig,
scores taking part in the scramble
for the prize of $20, and the chase
ended in the brush beyond the
g-ounds, where Tom Mathews, oper
ator in charge of the local signal
[c'rp? station, ambush°d the unsus
pecting porker.

SEARCHERS RECOVER
BABY MARKUS’ BUOY
According to telegraphic advices
received from Juneau yesterday by
General Storekeeper George Markus,
the body of his little daughter Vir
ginia, who went down on the steam
er Sophia last fall, has been recov
ered by divers and is* now being
held at Juneau pending a further
search of the vessel for the body of
Mrs. Markus.
The wire to Mr. Markus came
from Alex Gooteh, father of Mrs,
Markus, who has been at Juneau
much of the time since the wreck,
awaiting the recovery of the bodies
of his daughter and granddaughter.
His wire yesterday indicated that he
had experienced no difficulty in iden
tifying the little body.
Mr. Markus has instructed his
father-in-law' to wait a little longer
and then, if the body of Mrs. Mar
kus has not been found, to proceed
to Seattle with the body of Vir
ginia, for burial. The little girl
was four years and five months old
at the time of the disaster. She
was a member of the Native Sons
and Daughters of the Golden North.
