SOLOMON DERBY
ON FAIR TRAIL
IN GOOD WEATHER
! __
This morning when people looked
outdoors and saw that a couple of
inches of snow had fallen during the
night there was doubt as to whether
the Solomon Derby would take place.
Judges Kjegsted, Weaver and Pet
, orson, however, after learning the
j conditions along the trail to Solomon
decided that the event should occur
I and notified the racing men to this
effect They learned that the snow
fall had been greatest about Nome
and that the worst trail was between
here and the fort. There was also a
heavy trail around the cape where
the wind had drifted the snow con
siderably. Eric Johnson started out
with the mail this morning at four
o'clock and on arriving at >Safety
phoned back that the trial was good
and the weather fine there. From
Solomon Mrs. Shaughnessy sent word
that only a little snow had fallen and
that the weather was ideal.
As it neared 10 o’clock the time
for the first team to cross the line
at Dane's way a crowd began to gath
er and when the hour arrived to send
Seppela away all the officials were on
hand nad a human lane extended down
Front street ns far as the eye could
reach.
Seppala’s leaders were afraid of the
crowd apparently and halted soon
after Mrs Darling gave the word to
go with the result that the team was
tangled up for a few seconds An ex
cited fan shouted "there goes my threo
dollars."
At ten minute Intervals, Downing’s
team with Percy Blatchford driving,
Anderson, Ayer and Webb got away
in good shape.
The telephone began to report ar
rivals at the fort before the third
team had left and soon the crowds
were surging to places where bulletin
service was provided.
The teams pased the fort as follows:
Seppala 10:26, Downing 10:26:40, An
derson 10:43, Ayer 10:46 and Webb,
10:67:20.
Delzene did not start because of
a lameness recently contracted. His
dogs were ready but he was not in
condition.
At Cape Nome the teams were re
ported as follosw: Seppala, 11:36:
Downing, 11:26; Anderson, 11:66;
Ay or, 11:37, Webb, 11:47.
The arrivals at Safety were Seppala,
12:16; Downing 12:10:30; Anderson,
12:38; Ayer. 12:16 and Webb, 12:26.
The racers reached Solomon in the
following time: Seppala, 1:23:15;
Downing, 1:20:40; Anderson, 1:20:40;
Ayer, 1:19:20 and Webb. 1:33.
The time to Solomon was Seppala,
3:23:15; Downing 3:10:40; Anderson,
3:39:50; Ayer, 2:49:20; Webb. 2:63.
The teams left Solomon live min
utes after arrival and the arrivals at
Safety were Seppala, 2:39; Downing,
2:48; Ayer, 2:32 and Webb. 2:39 with
Anderson not reported at the time
of going to press.
The Indications at 3:20 were that
Ayer would win in time about the
same as last year and that he would
reach the finish line shortly after 4:30.
For second place Seppala was
crowding Webb hard and the latter
was going slow because he was pack
ing his big dog Rex on the sled.
Ayer’s time to Safety was 4:02, Sep
pala’s 4:29, Webb, 4:15; and Dawn
ing, 4:38.
It begna to snow at 3 o'clock and
the Indications were for a finish ob
scured by snow flakes.

STONE NOT TO
BE PUNISHED
FOR REBELLION
International News Serve*.
WASHINGTON . .March 10.—The
rumor that Senator Stone would lose
the chairmanship of the foreign rela
tions committee in consequence of his
filibustering appears to be unfound
ed. He has lost standing with the
administration as a result of his
blocking Wilson’s war measures but
it ia likely that he will be retained at
the head of his committee on account
of previous good party record.
