According to a Cambridge, Mass. telegram, dated February 1st, 1927, Dr. Alex Hrillicks of the Smith- sonian Institution believes that Columbus, Lief, the Lucky, and

any others who have been called the discoverers of America were many hundreds of years behind the Asiatics in reaching the shares of America. "He, an ethologist, bas completed an archaeological survey of Alaska which, he anys, proves conslusively that the continent of America was first entered from the East. Many relics believed to be of Orichtal origin were found. His conclusions, which shortly are to be announced, are expected to throw light on the racial relations between the Eskimo and the American Indian, which all help to confirm my 1014 findings,, regarding the origin of the American Indian and kindred races of North and South America

The (See my book Creation, The Real Situation of Eden, and the Origin of the Chinese,” and “Map of the World as peopled by Noah's descendents."} I hope Dr. Hrdlicka will also be able to confirm my finding that

there have been two distinct and separate migrations of the Human Race from the Asiatic Continent

The Ante-dilurim migration took place less than 10,000 years ago, when Siberia, and "Alaska up to the Mackenzie River, were enjoying a warm and Temperate climate, and before they became drowned by Tidal Wave and suddenly frozen. It is evident that the Bearing Se land bridge, which once connected Asia with America, was violently torn asunder by the terrific seismic disturbance, which convulsed the World, upheaved Central Asia and sent a continent to the bottom of the Pacific.

SHIP.

Yesterday we were only able to dive brief details of the re-asil of the first championship for the cruisers of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club; finishing times only being available.

Below are the more complete de täils of the race, which was round Hong Kong Island, a distance of 24 miles.

Coquette and U and I tie with 44 points each for first place. Seven boats started, and five frished. Conditions were by no means ideal.

Le Cigale (A. N. Ý Croucher), the scratch boat, led at Stanley Point but was subsequently passed by Mr. H. Dryer's Coquette. The former finished first, saved her time and took first place on the race,Coquette was beaten again near Repulse Bay and crossed the line second, being also second on handicap.

"Nurseman" (Mr. L. E. N. Ryan) was third both on corrected and finishing times. “U and 7 (Mr." H. S. Rouse) finished fourth but fell back to fifth on handicap. Queen Her (Captain Howard) was bith on fishing time, but fourth on cor- rected.

In the list given below; the crui sers are mentioned in order of finishing. Positions gained in the race are mentioned in parenthesis and the total points for the season are given last.

Cuquette and U and I will either have to resail for first place, or the committee will have to come to
