Heath was an Amexi - an .-imate-.jr driving as a member of the French team, and he covered 281 miles at pi averace Fpeed of fifty-two miles an Iw.iir. Tart, in another Panhard. however, ♦iid several laps at ... much faster rate, skirting onr? at a spe^l <>f seventy-one miles an hour— sensational, indeed, for those days. America showed third at the lir.ish with Herbert in a Pope-To ledoi The initial contest was a success In every way. and <ertain!y acted as p. stimu lus for makers to improve the manufacture «f < ars on this side of the Atlantic. The r;,,^ tt-as spectacular, ami the public be « ame enthusiastic over it.

A second triumph was scored fur France by Hemery. in a Darracq. when be drove in a winner at an «\erace sr>eed of fi]^ mil^s an hour— materially better than the time of H'-ath Th<T year before. In this contest Heath was second, nml Tracy, •• a Locomobile, third. Upon this occasion Lancia, the. famous Italian driver, piloted one of the greatest rsrpp in history prior to his unfortunate smash-tip with Cbristie. KranrA scored Its third ... in the Vanderbflt race, in 1906. The excitine finish. with its battle between J,anria. in a Fiat, and Wagner, ir? a Darracq. will never be f«i-f:ott''r! by the thousands who witnessed It. These two drivers, together with Duray and .lenatz>. had been going wit only a jptv seconds' difference in their elapsed times for some laps. •■■••■■■ and last "VVasner took the lead, only to meet with tire trouble a couple of minutes later There ■was a frenzy of excitiment.

Fnortir.g acro.-s the tape, the first to finish the dis tance. Wagner, however, was going again, and as h* had started several minutes be hind Lancia, still had i chance to win in elapsed time. Every one wondered if be would cross' the tape before it was too late. He did— in a. whirlwind finish, too. Wag ner's speed was about sixty-three, miles an hour for the 237 miles. Joe Tracy, in an American Locomobile, scored the fastest lap of the even] There v.-as no cup race in IT*>7, the fourth Taking: place on October 24, XSO&. with driv ers competing as individuals and not as teams. The bis memorable feature of r ' ■- contest was that for the first time the famouj trophy was brought back to Amer ica. a nd it was Oeorpe Robertson, in a fi-horsepower locomobile, who turned the trick. Robertson's duel with Sytle, in an Isotta. toward the linish was a thriller. The Locomobile's average speed was 04.3 ... an hour, the fastest ever made In a cup race. Last October's cup race was in the form of a sweepstakes, the Wheatly Hills event and the Massapequa Sweepstakes for cars of •smaller cylinder dimensions taking place simultaneously with Ihe cup race. Like the ISOS event, contestants competed as In dividuals. This fifth Vanderbilt race saw Harry F. Grant one out the victor in bis *-ix -cylinder A! i. winning in a. Held of lifu-^n starters. Grant covered the twenty two laps, or 278.0S miles at an average of fC'.S miles an hour, slightly slower than 3{ol>ertson's record the previous year. .Ed ward H. ParkT, In -a Fast, scored second j.lace. Harroun. drivinß a Harmon, won the V»"heatly I fills Sweepstakes, and Mat eon, in a Chalmers, the Massapequa event. Although the race was a Cast one, it was noticed by every one tiiat the contest, start - ir.R a.s it did at t a. in., did not furnish as impressii'e a spectacle, as ti,r- form«;r races which bepaJi at daybreak. For this reason this ■-■.' will return to the old custom of fitartins around at 6 a. m., and ■wjth a !arp'-r field of contenders than over before, including some of the fastest cars thai have-ever been built, and many of the foremost drivers, this autumn's contest should prove the most Interesting cup race ever run.

AUTO NEWS OF THE DAY Bits of News Gathered from Makers and Dealers. The lending Waverley Electric for 1911 is th° new model Si. a four-passenger broucham. resembling; in many respects last year's model 75-C, but with a few Impor tant differences. The body of the car Is built in a single piece, three inches wider, the front has swelled side panels with roundod front quarter French plate glas?. and "the general effect or the car is larger, roomier, more luxurious and more distin guished. The Waverley motor, that gives 360 per cent of turning power for every 300 per cent of overload, forms part of the equipment, as well as the Waveriey full elliptic springs. Next to model SI in the point of novelty is model 78, "Waverley electric roadster, a car that was introduced last year, but only in a tentative form. Numerous alterations and improvements are embodied in this year's model. The body, for instance. Is low hung. There Is a roomy, comfortable rumble seat at the rear, with a step to reach It by. The length of the car has been Increased to 114% inches, and the wheel base is 96 Inches. A chang* has been made In the shape of the cape top. Following th« success of the Harmon racing crew In the Indianapolis Speedway races which ended for the season Monday afternoon. Ray Harroun, Joe Dawson. Dave Buck and Louis Heinemann, the yel low jacket pilots, will leave for New York v Ithin a few days to prepare for the Van dorbilt Cup race and other .vents. They will have Their racing camp at Krug's Cor ner, where they have reserved accommoda tions for fifteen men and five racing cars. Howard Harmon, designer of the car, and Homer George, manager of the team, will accompany the crew Kant. They take their camp September 15. For the Vanderbilt the Harmon people havo built two new <;irs. more powerful and much Caster than any they have ever rarer! in the past. These cars have four-cylinder motors with a 41-- inch bore and a 2 -inch stroke, in addition to entering these two big cars in tie Vanderbilt, they have been named for the Grand Prize event which will fol low i. October 15. For the Wheatley Hills, which will be run October 1, the Marmon rars colors will be represented by the stock car which won last year, the model with an engine 1% by 4ij. This car will be piloted by either Buck, winner of the Katie County trophy at Elgin, 111., or by Heinemann. who finished third in that race. The Eastern engagements of th - Marmon include the Fairmount Park cup race at Philadelphia, in which two stock i ars will start, with Harroun and Dawson at the wheels. The old established dealers In New York ar~ making sales nowadays as regularly as clockwork. The Oldsmobile Company, of New York, h»< been greatly helped in keep ing- up its da !y average of sales. General John T. cutting says, by the timely ar rival, six w^k.- uen, of the first of the 1911 models, the "XMdsmobile Special." This car perpetuates the "Special" of i9io. It is of the foui -. ylinder type, standard Oldsmobile structkm. It shows many Httle refine ments to details, the mo.=! striking- of which .-tre the Dutch detachable forward dor.rs. The arrangement of the tool and supply box is another new detail. This is set between the two steps running' from the front mud guard to t■ • rear Surprise and pratification were evoked by the announcement of the entry of the 1911 BriarcUff model Lozicr stock car in this year's struggle for Vandfrbilt Cup honors. Ltfwier interests have hitherto stead fastly r^fusfd to enter their cars in any event where the conditions d:d not call for Ptrict stock cliassi.s, but the brilliant victory of Ralph Ifulford at Elgin. lIL, when he drove the I.ozier prock car to national championship honors, averaging R2.5 miles an hour for the journey of 305 miles, persuaded them to enter the car apainst racing machines engaged in the blue ribbon event of the American motoring year. H. A. Loder, in speaking "f t v ,e Vanderbilt entry, called attention to th<- comparative paucity of true stock car events this y<-nr. "We dislike en t. rinc oompetitionfl of any kind unless the conditions <aii for Ptock chassis." he said. "(r.;r i:.;.!ii;i!'i i .'-h!p victory spurred Jia on tr> make a showing In the Vanderbilt, al though it Is much against o!lro !lr principles, as ■ rmly believe the public i« most inier t-su^d in the performance of a car the dupli ate of which can be purchased for everyday usage, im apainst special racing machines, w•• hope to run in the stock car event in ITalrmount Park, Philadelphia, and s-hail try to Becure the Atlanta trophy at ■ on November 3."

Holt WILL GIVE FULL SERVICE Makers of the Detroit Electric Open Station Here. Th° Anderson Carriage Company, maker of the Detroit electric . ar. has opened at Broadway and BOth street a showroom and service station. Albert Weatherby Is in charge of the. establishment, and is '.irmly convinced that New York will be a pood field for the sale of electric cars. He Pays that New York is behind the smaller cities of th». Middle West In the use of electrics, and mentions several officials of companies which make gasolene cars who drive Detroit electrics. Among them are Henry Ford, of the Ford company: H. B. Joy, of the Chalmers com pany and B, F. Bveritt. Service is the keynote of the electric sit uation. Says Mr. Weatherby: "We pur pose, to keep the cars of our owners, clean the inside by vacuum process, wash the outside daily, keep the batteries always charged, make, all minor repairs and deliver the car at the. door any time it is required. We also call for it at any time of the day or night, and for this service we make a charge of ?40 a month. This is the entire cost that the car is to the owner." The Detroit Electric is a car with many notable records. A regular stock car ran from Detroit to Atlantic City (1.060 miles) entirely on its own power, averaging eigh ty-four miles a day. on a sinerle charge. The roads were extremely muddy, and the car carried two passengers and their bag gage. A second record was one mane ny a stock car in the Munsey endurance run for gas cars in September. 1909, from Washington to Boston, covering 671 miles in six days, entirely on Its own power, for which it was awarded a certificate of perfect score, not having a single mechan ical trouble or broken part of any nature. The Detroit Electric Is equipped to carry the large size "A-6" Edison battery, a bat tery of nickel and steel, containing a harm less solution of potash and water, and which has a capacity of 225 ampere-hours. It cannot he injured by high rate, of over charging, and may be idle indefinitely without recharging.

The general rules committee of the Manufacturers' Contest Association held an all-day session last Friday at the rooms of the Association of Licensed Automobile Manufacturers, No. 7 East 4£d street. Howard E. Coffin, chair man, presided. Many recommendations for changes in the contest rules of the American Automobile Association were finally ratified. Some matters were con sidered of great enough importance to be later referred to the entire membership of the association by a mail vote. This vote will have to be recorded before recommen dations can be made to the contest board of the American Automobile Association. All phases of contest rules were consid ered, most of them having- *ten suggested by experience in the administration of the regulations governing in this country at the present time. Great enthusiasm and keen Interest were shown at the meeting. Dis cussion was general. The recommendations finally ratified do not become rules until adopted by the contest board of the Ameri can Automobile Association, and when so adopted will be Incorporated In the regula tions to govern competition in 1911 and 1912. Among the subjects taken up wore, the following: That the. decision of the technical committee of the American Automobile As sociation be final regarding the eligibility of any car to enter contests held under the rules of the A. A. A.: that the Importer In stock car and stock chassis events be con sidered on exactly the same basis as the American manufacturer; that amateur drivers competing in track or road races against professional drivers shall lose their amateur standing.
