The Savannah people are taking active steps to Ret the Vanderbilt Cup race for the fall in case the Long Island course should not be available. Spurred by the action taken at St. l.onis ami at oth"r points, the members of the Savannah Club and other prom inont citizens have been tie.«:ejrlrj? th»- office of the American Automobile Association with telegrams and letters in an effort to have a decision in the matter. The promise of the. citizens' committee to turn over to the city, for general advertising pur poses, everything in the shape of profit which may result from the March race." has aroused enthusi astic sentiment in favor of the Vanderbllt race. among the citizens of that city, and it la certain that if by any turn of affairs the race could go to Savannah nothing would be left undone to make it a grand success in every way. For these spring races no subscriptions have been asked, the entire guarantee being underwritten by enthusiasts in the Savannah Automobile Club. Now it la intimated that If the .club can get the Van lerbilt ("up race a popular subscription will be forthcoming which will insure the most complete and generous arrangement for the big national event. The Savannah committee reports the receipt of the following telegram from W. H. Hotchklss, of Buffalo, the president of the American Automobile Association: "Mu. b gratified at notion of Savannah dub guar ■ ilii t tliat Savannah course me of the most famous speedwavya a rid." A good proof of th» structural and driving strength of an automobile is being shown by the Thomas car. driven by Montague Roberts. In the New York-To-Paris run. The car has travelled over all kinds of roads, through blizzards, rain, mud and slush, and from late reports still seems to be in -The running as good as ever. When tits weight of the car and the heavy load it carries are taken Into consideration, it adds glory to a remarkable feat. Daniel D Murphy, who will drive John J. Brown's - n the Brian iiff. trophy ra<~e. went over the ,ours? in the rna< bine every day last week. While be is not sttemptfaig to make any speed, the * .■ i; of the machine promises that it will if an -■ nt factor In the race. The top of the great Smoky Mountain has been leached by a Haynes automobile, which was re cently driven from Kokomo down through Ken tucky and Tennessee without any trouble in the long and arduous trip.

Governor Hughes travelled iiany miles In a horsepower Premier car in his recent campaign and gained considerable time- William J.

The Continental Caoutchouc Company will offer a priz^ of I-'JO to the owner of the car winning the 300-mile race on Ormond-Daytona beach, Florida, next week, provided the machine is equipped with Continental tires. The company will offer another prize of $100 to the winner of the 100-mile race. A IS -horsepower Franklin car Is now making a non-stop motor run over roads covered with snow mud and ice, which threatens to go down as a rec ord In automobile travelling. Every day since February 11 the machine has been driven over the roads from Cincinnati within a' distance of two hundred miles at a speed of better than twenty miles an hour end its mileage is fast approaching the three thousand mark I! K. Wagner, manager of the Babeock Electric branch in this city, on a recent visit to Indianapo lis, made arrangements with the Capital Automo bile Company, of that city, for handling the Bab rock cars. Incidentally he sold for the new agency a victoria and a coupe. Mr. Wagner says the orders for spring deliveries are so heavy that the hands at the factory in Buffalo are being rushed every minute of the day. Howard Drakelcy. president of the Amateur Hockey League and ■ member of the .board of iii rectors of the Crescent Athletic Club, who for the jast year has been with th» Steams department of WycUoff, Church & Partridge, has joined the forces of the SHeam* Urooklyn branch of the Alien- Swan company. There is no denying the fact that the .- 1-- baker car is making a name for itself «,n its run from this city to Kansas. The run is for the purpose of proving "'c utility of the automobile for war dis patch "service by carrying a message from Major General Frederick D'-rn Grar.!. commander of the Department of the East at Governor's Island. t<i the various army post commanders between this city and Fort Leavenworth. Kansas, it reached Cleveland, a distance of to: miles. in sixty-four hours, twenty-one minutes, smashing all winter road records up to date. What makes the ran more remarkable is the fact that the car ran into a blizzard soon after leaving Albany.

The Treasury Department and the customs offi cials found" it necessary in IMB, owing to th- great number of imported cars brought into this country at that time, to arrange a new classification for this particular kind of product. From records which have been kept by the Association of Licensed Automobile Manufacturers it develops that up to 1906 France led the world in the greatest output of automobiles, many of which were finding a market in this country, but the records which have Just been completed by the licensed associa tion show that ISOtJ was evidently the banner year for Imported cars. as the records for 1907 show a material decrease In the number of Imported cars and the value thereof. Whether 01 not this is caused by the American people realizing that in the American product there can be found cars as good as if not better than those Imported, or Whether the vast amount of duty has brought them to a realization that in paying 43 per cent duty It has been accessary to pay nearly 511.000.000 into the coffers of the Treasury Depart ment, for which they may not have received re turned value in difference in quality "' the cars, is yet to be determined.

The power of a ear is a good index of "what you are gettinsr for your money: with in limits, if is a «rood yard stick to apply to the price. A 15 H.P. car. for instance, usu ally costs about $1,500. A 40 H.P. car costs usually $4,000. The construction that carries a high powered motor must be stronger and better than one subject to the lesser strains of low power. It must embody more steel, more workmanship and more ski!!. Haynes prices have never been put up to the speculative figure? of the fad period, and such comparison as suggested above reveals their moderation. Most 38 H.P. ears are sold at $3^061 up to $4,000. but the Haynes model S. 30 H,P.. cost* only $2^300. A 4."> H.P. car is commonly priced at $4,000. at least, but the Havnes W is oniy $3,909.
