Only Ten Ont of Twenty-Four Entries Finish Long Race Over Speedway Average 7S.fi Miles Per Hour. Joe Dawson drove the National to victory yesterday in the great 500 mile race classic. He covered the distance in six hours and twenty-one minutes and six seconds, breaking former records and making an average speed of 78.6 miles per hour, winning a $20,000 prize. After leading all the way from the start to the 198th lap, Ralph De Palma’s Mercedes developed engine trouble and Joe Dawson’s National came up from six laps behind and won the second international 500 mile automobile race. Tetzlaff in Fiat took second place and a SIO,OOO prize in (R31:26, and Hughes in Mercer was third, 6:34:56, with a $5,000 prize. Dawson averaged 78.6 miles per hour, as compared with 74.61 miles per hour made by Ray Harroun, who won the race last year in the Marmon “Wasp.” Harroun’s time was 6:42:08. Only ten out of the twenty-four started finished the race. It is estimated that over 75,000 spectators were present at the start of the races and that there were about 12,000 cars parked at the speedway and along the streets. It is gratifying to know that no lives were lost for the glory of the racing automobiles this year. Several accidents occurred that caused excitement for a time, but none resulted seriously. Many Rensselaer people saw the races and were greatly impressed when with an explosive roar of the enormous engines, especially built for this ultimate test of speed and. endurance, the cars came together at the starting line. Among Rensselaer people there were B. Forsythe, Clarence Fate, Don Wright, Fred Hamilton, Elmer Wilcox, Chas. For tar, Herbert Hammond, Ray D. Thompson, J. J. Montgomery and Delos Thompson. George Ade advertised the route running pßst his farm and through Brook and got a few tourists going to the races, but most of them are coming' back through Rensselaer. They have been coming in groups qnd at intervals since early morning, and those that , have a sufficient supply of oil and gas pay little heed to the speed limit.

Ran Anderson, who was born in Rensselaer twenty-six years/ago and who moved from here with his parents when a year old, dropped into town today to see sort of a place his birthplace was.

Nichols and Thursday himself and mother and his brother, Joe, of Chicago, went to Monticello to decorate the grave of their father, John G. Reynolds. Earle’s wife went on to Albany, N. Y., where her two little daughter’s are attending the Academy of the Holy Name.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, FRIDAY MAY 31, 1912.

DAWSON IN NATIONAL WINS 500 MILE CLASSIC.

L. W. Stockwell, of Sparta, Tenn., under date of May 29th sent a renewal for The Republican, and wrote: “We can not do without your paper; it is like two big letters each week from back home. It has been seventeen years since I came to Tennessee and I still love the dear old Jasper county people of whom I see so much in your paper. I like the country where I am but can not give it so much of a boost as Brother Halstead did Mississippi. I want to pay him a -visit this summer as he only lives about 100 miles southwest of here. The spring has been late and corn is not all planted yet There is a fine prospect for fruit, wheat, oats and grass. I wish yon and your readers and all my old friends much success in their various fields of labor.” Mr. Stockwell is proprietor of the Town Creek Mills at Sparta. —\

THRONG PAID TRIBUTE TO CIVIL WAR SOLDIERS.

Glorious Day Brought Out Large Crowd—Bev. Winn Delivered Fine Address —Soldiers Banquetted. With praise for the surviving veterans of the Civil War and honor and eulogy for those who have gone to their reward, with the graves of all veterans marked by the flag for whitfh they fought and strewn with flowers, the 1912 Memorial Day was one of the most noteworthy in the city’s history. Inspired by the glorious day the city was thronged with people from town and country, who fiad gathered to pay their tribute of love and praise to the gallant boys of the early sixties. „ . - The parade was not as large as some previous years, and probably there have been larger crowds gathered for the occasion, but there never existed a more complete reverence for the veterans than existed that day and apparently the minds of all were filled with the realization that the nation owes to these" brave men a debt of gratitude that is but feebly rewarded by aur annual token of flowers and praise. 7 The business houses closed between the hours of 2 and 5 o’clock and merchants and clerks and farmers and their families participated in the service. At the cemetery the program as published was carried out. D. H. Yeoman, as commander of the post, acted as chairman at the cemetery and spoke briefly of the nation’s tribute to the boys in blue. Rev. J. C. Parrett offered an invocation. The boys’ band played martial music and a quartette composed of C. E. Prior, J. P; Hammond, Dr. W. L. Myer and Henry Jacobs sang patriotic songs. Cope Hanley read Lincoln’s Gettysburg speech. The address of the afternoon was made by Rev. W. G. Winn, of the. Christian church. Mr. Winn is a native of Richmond, Virginia, and it is the first time a southerner has ever been asked to address the Union veterans on Decoration Day in Rensselaer. His address was a very able one and commanded the closest attention of a large crowd gathered at the cemetery. He declared the obliteration of all our differences, said that Mason and Dixon’s line is no longer existing and that we were in truth a united people, all proud of our flag, all ready to stand in defense of the common welfare of our people and all being interested in bringing our nation up to the highest standard of accomplishment. Rev. Winn praised the soldiers pf the union army and their wives, mothers, daughters and sisters, wfho made sacrifice for the cause which the men so gallantly fought. The large crowd was inspired by his address and cheertd it lustily when he had finished. After the return, march the old soldiers went to the G. A. R. room in the courthouse where the ladies of the G. A. R following their custom of several years, spread a banquet dinner for them. There were almost two hundred partook of the meal. Taken all in all Memorial Day this year was one of the most impressive of all that have been observed here.
