Bohemia, Norway and Russia took part in the team competition,<br />

too, but the prescribed number (4) of representatives of each of these<br />

nations did not succeed in reaching the finish.<br />

Stockholm, 10 July, <strong>1912</strong>.<br />

C. Gösta Drake.<br />

Leader of the Competition,<br />

Of great interest is the comparison between the number of representatives<br />

entered by the various nations and the number that actually<br />

started, together with the number of those who retired from the<br />

race, and the total that reached the finish within the maximum time<br />

which was 13 hrs. 23 min. 19 secs., i. e., the time of the first man<br />

plus 25 % of that time. In this respect, Germany makes, most undisputably,<br />

a very fine show, no less than all her I I representatives<br />

reaching the finish under the maximum time. All the representatives<br />

of Austria, Canada, Chili and the U. S. A., too, came in in less than<br />

the maximum time. These nations had, respectively, 6, 2, 4 and 9<br />

men that started. Of the 12 Swedes that started, 8 reached the finish,<br />

all under the maximum time. One of the others (Landsberg) retired<br />

on account of an accident.<br />
