Pilots' ARoaclaUon. ami (he Chamber1
ot Commerce, has been reached in

tering tills harbor.
Captain Hmilwcli notified the spec?
ial committee of the chamber that it
was impossible for tho association to
make any reduction In the rate, that
being prohibited by law. but he sug
gested that tho transports take pilots
only In foggy or stormy weather, and
gave asstiranee that if the quarter?
masters' department should desire to
employ n mnn other than a member
of the association to pilot the trans?
ports regularly, the association would
hav<- no complaint to make.
This matter was laid before Cap- I
tain Killlan, the acting denot quer- I
termaeter, and he expressed himself
an being entirely satisfied.
Captain Killlan brought the pilotage
matter to the attention of be cham?
ber. piiggesUng that white the pilots
were; acting entirely within their
rights', It 'would be an excellent thing
for Newport News If the rale of pilot?
age could be reduced. Newport News
If anxious to keep the transport ser?
vice here; therefore the chamber lost
no time in inking the mutter up with
the pilots. j

OLDFIELD ON AUTO RACING, j
Says the Gamo Is a Hard On*. Es- j
peciatly on Short Courses.
Darney Oldflelil* long regarded sb
America's premier mile a minute mo?
torist, declares that auto raclug on oval
tracks Is a menace to the safely of all
contestants. When Barney was lu
Chicago recently some ono asked him
for mi opinion on (he subject, aud ho
replied ns follows:
?i tell you, the racing game Ib no
clueh. Sixty miles uu hour is fun
when you're on a straightaway, with
a clear road ahead, but when you
get on ., half mile or mile oval it's a
bard game to [day. Did you ever
think that the turn of a half mile
oval is sharper tbiiu making as wide
u turn as you can on an ordinary
street'.' And a driver thinks he's go
In;; B?rne when fie takes a corner ut
fifteen or twenty miles uu hour. Now,
think of going four limes as fast
annual the same corner and you'll be?
gin to realise what you are up ngalust
when yon hit the racing game.
"It's pretty bard to describe tho sen?

we built u platform right tip in the

we'd unfasten the line, And one of us

And in a race the sensation Isn't all,
