For this experiment Professor Trowbridge has made a storage battery of 10,000 cells, five times as large as any similar battery heretofore used.

There would be neither glory nor satisfaction in a victory won under such conditions. This note is to suggest that by agreement among those in authority, full power be given the referee to recall the crews at his discretion for a new start if the first start should be marred by any evident misunderstanding (wherever responsibility...
