TRAIN — j Motor Beat Races Against Havana Special Train Over 1,240 Mile Route LEFT MIAMI MONDAY Due to Arrive at New York at Ten Tonight — Much Interest in Unique Race (United Press Service) New York, April 26 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Fighting to estab-' lish mechanical supremacy, two engines of steel pounded toward New i York today in a race on land and water. The Gar. Jr., 11, express motor] i boat cruiser was leading by a narrowmargin after eighteen hours of racing against the Havana-Special of the Atlantic coast line. The boat, piloted by Garwood, of Detroit, fairly ffies through the water at a speed faster than the average ex- i press train. It was unhampered by , necessity to stop at stations or of I changing engines. On the Atlantic .coast line, the road ( had been cleared for the Havana ( Special. Every arrangement had been made for the safety and speed ; of the train. ” I The train and the fcoqt left Miami. Fla., at 2:30 p. m. on Monday. The train’s schedule brings it into the Pennsylvania station at 10 p. m. tonight. The distance by rail from Miami to New York is 1,240 miles and the distance by sea is approximately the same.

On Sunday evening a second performance was given, the crowd at the first entertainment at 7 o’clock being so large that it was impossible for barely more than half of those who came to gain admission to the church, and It was immediately announced a second performance would follow. The crowd on Saturday evening filled the church.
