jfternoon resulted in a victory
for Nome Ginnivan, who com
pleted the journey in 3:53, leav

Frank Lajsen, starting at 1 :io
and finishing at 6:03 was the win
ner of second place in 4:53 and
John Sullivan was third in
5 :51 :I°- The boys intended to go
only as far as the Torkelson
camp but finding no one there
they proceeded on to the Cape
Nome roadhouse on the east side
of the cape where they gave no
tice of their presence for fear that
some one should hint they had
not made the full journey. This
added materially to the distance
and accounts for the seeming
poor time. In reality the lads did
very well and the time is excel
lent considering the general state
of the trails. The prize was a
purse of nine dollars generously
donated by friends of the boys
and was divided into prizes of $c,
5.3 and $1.
