Gösta Drake.Leader of the Competition,Of great interest is the comparison between the number of representativesentered by the various nations and the number that actuallystarted, together with the number of those who retired from therace, and the total that reached the finish within the maximum timewhich was 13 hrs. 23 min. 19 secs., i. e., the time of the first manplus 25 % of that time. In this respect, Germany makes, most undisputably,a very fine show, no less than all her I I representativesreaching the finish under the maximum time. All the representativesof Austria, Canada, Chili and the U. S. A., too, came in in less thanthe maximum time. These nations had, respectively, 6, 2, 4 and 9men that started.
