"A race, a race!"
"Here come the Tennessee Shad and Brian de Boru."
"Turn out, Jimmy!"
"Give 'em room!"
"Go it, Dennis!"
"Go it, Shad!"
Two runabouts came up at a gallop, neck and neck, four boys in each, the Tennessee Shad standing at the reins in one, Dennis de Brian de Boru Finnegan in the other, each firmly clutched about the waist by the boy on whose knees he jolted and jostled.
"Push on the reins!"
"Home run, Dennis!"
"Swim out, you Shad!"
