TIE FIVE TIMES
IN THREE RACES
OLD TIMERS RECALL GREAT
HARNESS RACING
TROT DEAD HEATS FIVE TIMES
IN EIGHTEEN
Remarkable Turf History Recited to
Refute Argument Advanced
Against Old Sys.
tern
NEW VuitK, Jan. 17.—Tho present
day Idea that it is ruinous to trotting
horse breeding industry as well as a
I.rin lty to youngsters, also aged hordes,
to race them under tho old and elon
gated system, was discussed by a
group oi' oldtimers who happened to
I in this city the other day. They
remembered three of the most bitterly
contested events in turf history, and
while none of tho veterans appeared to
be in favor of the old system, yet all
talked or these special events a-1 the
most Interesting speed competition
ever seen or perhaps ever will be re
peated in turf annals. Of tho eighteen
heats trotted by seven starters in j
three separate races, five were dead
heats and each required six heats for)
a final decision.
"The breeder, racing man and fol
lower of the harness turr or present
Hay," said a turf veteran, "may talk
of the cruelty of racing youngsters as I
well as aged trotters undor the long
system of racing, but few can tell from
experience some of the most famous
turf contests in which tho winner had
to win not only three heats, but live
out of six.
"1 remember that most gruelling con
test between three 3-year-oMs at Lex
ington twenty-three years ago, when
1 lie winner won live, heats technically
before he topped tho race summary,
while the contender placed B id won
three heats. The rai c, of course, was
in high-wheel sulky and the result
showed that every one of the six heats
was contested closely.
"It was not for a rich futurity as
we have at the present day, and al- |
though known as a. 'Stallion Produce
slake,' the value was only $686. It was
th" longest and most bitterly contested
event in a field of three starters, and
with the exception of one oilier event,
was the most unique in the history of
harness turf."
Had to Win Five Heats
"On October 2, lSSii," added the old
timer, "the Stallion Produce stake, now
known as the Lexington, 'was called
and only three youngsters appeared,
but as all were of the best of the day,
each found plenty of following. The
two opening: heats were as much of
.had heats as any living horseman
over saw and as the third boat was
won by tho eventually beaten horse,
the winner had to win succeeding
three heats in order to get first money
of the $535 purse. The summary was
■is follows:
Hcrmuda, blk. c. by Banker... n n : 1 1 1
Nuthreakar b c. by Nutwood.. 0 0 1 3 S 2
Sphinx, I) h. hy Electioneer.... :: :'. ?■ " ' •
Time- 3:24%, ::24'i, S:2«. -■■-:-'-.- 3:»«%i
••These look like slow times, but In
those tlays they were, equal to what
now would be below the 2: In mark, and
the fact that there was only a quarter
of a second difference in the two dead
heats is sufficient proof that it was a
great contest.
"The. present a*y record of this trio|
„f youngsters shows that the gruelling
race did not the least Impair the pro-;
tlucing power of any of them, as at
Hie close of the past year Bermuda is j
the sire of twenty-eight trotters and |
Hv< pacers, has four producing sons
ami that many producing- daughters,
ami Nutbreaker is credited with six
toon trotters and ten pacers, while nine
of bis sons and twelve of his daugh
ters are producers.
"Before participating in this famous
rai 1 . sphinx was the lust yearling and
two-year-old of his day, yet today ho
is among noted speed sires with eighty
trotters and fifty-six pacers to his
,re,lit and ranks high among tho very
besl speed progenitors through his sons
and daughters."
Another Remarkable Race
The Lexington race referred to was
an oxlci repetition of one which took
place at Buffalo (our years previously
or in 1882. This race was between two
horses, and hence is the only one of its
kind in harness turf history.
It took place on August 8, ISB2, and
was for a purse of $1500, the contest
ants being Jerome Eddy, then owned
at Buffalo, and Black Cloud, the for- !
mer being odds cm favorite, selling as
high as $30 to his opponent's $10. It
was one of the most desperately con
tested races between two horses ever
recorded, and the result was as fol
lows:
Black Cloud, blk h. by Ashland
Chief - 1 0 0 1 X
Jerome Ed^y, b h. by L,ouls
.Napoleon 1 2 0 0 - -
Time—2:l6%, 2:IS Vi. 2:10. 2:20, 8:18H,
D:l9 1-4.
Another noteworthy race between
two trotters took place at Lexington
later that same year. In which there
was only one dead heat, yet the pair
had to go six heats before the winner
could be decided. The contestants
were Monroe Chief and Rosa Wilkes,
the defeated starter again being odds
on favorite, with betting heaviest on
record In a two-horse event. The pair
stood tied at the finish of the fifth
heat and the final result was decided
by an almost heads-apart finish. The
summary was:
Monroe Chief, br h. by Jim
Monroe 1 2 2 0 l l
ROSB Wllkes. b m. by George
Wilkes 2 1 1 0 2 2
Time—2:l9l,4, 2:18*. 2:10-%. 2:20, J:2H4.
Unfortunately neither Wallace's
year book nor Chester's gives the time
of one heat, ■which is supposed to be
that of the dead heat. Eighteen heats
in three races with seven contenders in
all and five dead heats, is a. turf in
cident which perhaps never again will
happen. ,

Reckless Driving
in Motor Print for January is an ex
cellent article upon the subject of
"Reckless Driving," and being so full
Of good meat is reproduced in The Her
ald columns this morning. The article
la given in full and will be found
profitable reading.
In view of the fact that automobile
legislation will Boon again occupy the
attention of various Btate legislatures
throughout the country, and consider
in:; also that a special effort will be
made this year to put a stop to reck
ii-ing, it is particularly fitting
th i it should be known of what "1 k
■ s" consists.
'I'lio most important business of the
coming session of the New York state
legislature is to enact a suitable motor
vehicle law which will materially re
duce tho number of fatalities caused
by tho operation of automobiles on tho
pity streets and public highways. Since,
New York state was the pioneer in the
enactment of motor vehicle regulations
in this country, naturally something j
very good In tho way 01 legislation
on the subject is to be expected. It
is "reckless" driving that la sought to
be eliminated, therefore we must con-
Ider what "recklessness" consists of.
Meaning oi "Recklessness"—"Reck
lessness" is synonymous with "heed
lessness" nnd "Indifference," as, for ex
ample, a chauffeur who drives his au
tomobile across the streets of n large
city, with Indifference as to whether a
party may be Injured or not. See Lake

"Recklessness," in :i monii sense,
means a certain state ot consciousness
with reference to the consequence of
one's acts. No matter whether de
fined as Indifference to what those con
sequences may he. or as :i failure to
consider their nature or probability as
fully as the party might and ought to
have clone, it Is understood to depend
.n the actual condition of the individ
ual's mind with regard to consequences,
as distinguished from more knowledge
of present or pnst facts or circum
stances from which some one, of every
body else, might be led to anticipate
or apprehend them if the supposed act
were clone. Comm. vs. Pierce, 138 Mass.

We will now turn to a consideration
of dangerous driving generally.
"What Is Dangerous Driving?— Co
nduct may be dangerous or not. accord
ing to the persons considering it and
Rlttlng in judgment, A woman may
bo afraid of a mouse, yet il is not dan
gerous. Walking along an electric rail
road near a deadly third rail may not
bo dangerous to the electrical engineer
employed by the road. So it may be on
the public highways; conduct which Is
dangerous to some persons may not be
dangerous to others. That which would
be dangerous to an Inexperienced
traveler on the public thoroughfares
may not l,e dangerous to the expert
automobile driver who has been aeeiis

all features having been accepted uni

only be determined to be such by refer
ence to the common law as announced
by the decision of the courts. What
the automobile driver should or should
not do under certain circumstances can
only be ascertained from decisions of
tlie courts or America and Kngland as
to what tin: driver of a vehicle should
or should not have done under similar
i [rcumstances, or by asking if in the
particular case the driver acted as a
reasonable man would act under like
conditions.
"Negligence vs. Dangerous Driving—
At the outset let it be said that dan
gerous driving Is negligent driving, and
vice versa; but dangerous driving may
bo something more than negligence.
Negligence may be defined to be the
omission of something which a reason
able man would not do; in either case
causing mischief or apprehension to a
third party, not intentionally, for if
there is an intentional wrong then it is
not negligence. Intentional dan
gerous automobile driving Is something
more than neglect or the failure to ex
ercise due care, and this is of vast
Importance for the automobilist to keep
constantly in mind.
'It would perhaps seem at. first
thought that an automobile could <yily
in- driven dangerously in case there are.
other persons besides the driver of the
motor vehicle upon the highway, to
ward whom danger must be directed,
or that there must be somebody's prop
erty subjected to danger. In other
words, can there be dangerous driving
unless there bo either person or prop
erty subjected to hazard? Undoubted
ly there may be. If. for example, an
automobilist should drive through the'
streets of a city in a congested dis
trict at midnight, the mere fact that
there are no people on the highway at
the time would not make his driving
lawful. The liability of people being
there, or suddenly appearing, would be
sufficient to make the driving danger
ous, within the meaning of the law.
Then, again, the question of speed
might not have anything to do with
the question whether automobile driv
ing is dangerous. A person who drives
an automobile carelessly, although
going at a rate of speed of three miles
an hour, for instance, may be guilty of
dangerous driving; or, if the driver is
intoxicated, tho driving might he said
to be dangerous per so. It may be
that it would constitute dangerous
driving for an automobile to stand ab
solutely still on the highway under
circumstances which would require its
driver, as a prudent man, to drive
ahead. Such conduct would not, per
haps, come technically within the term
'driving,' and would be included more
properly under the designation of man
agement of tho machine. However, it
has been held that a person riding in a
carriage may bo said to be 'driving'
tho vehicle, within the moaning of onr
automobile laws. (See Slate v. Good
win. 82 X. K. Hop. 4, r.9.1 Right here it
may lie suggested that it would be well
if automobile legislation would use the
term 'management' in connection with
the word 'driving.' so that the stop
ping of a machine, or leaving it on the
highway for meddlers to Interfere with
it. would bo included.
"Criminal Aspect of Dangerous Driv
ing—.Shocking as tho statement may
seem, it is. nevertheless, the old com
mon law that if fi man drives, reck
lessly, a powerful vehicle into a crowd
and kills a person, it may constitute
murder, for if the person driving saw
or had timely notice of the mischief
likely to ensue, and yet willfully drove
on. his offense would bo something
more than mere manslaughter. In such
a case the presumption of malice arises
from the doing of a dangerous act in
tentionally, anil 'there [g the heart re
gardless of social duty.' This may be
said to bo the most serious and atro
cious aspect of 'dangerous automobile
driving,' which may ox-ist under very
peculiar circumstances. What comes
nearest to it is the conduct of an au
tomobile driver hastening away after
killing a victim without stopping to
Investigate the result of his act. Also
engaging In racing on the public high
ways which results in death has a sim
ilar aspect, since killing i-s done while
in the performance of an illegal act."'

EXHIBIT BAD TIME
TO BUY MACHINE
NOVICES ATTRACTED BY THE
GLARE OF TRIMMINGS
Expert from Moline Factory Gives
Timely Advice to Prospec.
tive Purchasers of
Automobiles
.No possible buyer is in an enviable
position at any automobile show.
Some intending buyers go to tho shows
with plenty of experience ami capital
behind them. They have had person
al experience with half a dozen cars,
they have watched twenty or thirty
more behaving, well or ill in tho hands
of close personal acquaintances near
their homes, yet the list of cars they
have to select from is by no means so
long and bulky as the catalogue whiclt
records the names of the exhibitors.
J .Moreover, should they in the exhilara
tion of show week make a blunder and
buy y. car which does not live up to
their ideals, they can afford to drop
live hundred or so in transferring their
volatile affections later on, says a cor
respondent in Motor Print.
It is far otherwise with the small
] car buyer. He may know that two or
j three cars which have been on tho
I market for a decado are good stuff all
through, but these are times of transi
tion and rapid development. These
! very cars may be the last he wishes to
buy, because he fancies that more
revolutionary makers can offer him
equal material and workmanship dis
persed over a bigger chassis and a more
generous specification at the same or
even at. a lower price.
Of actual merit he knows very little:
his acquaintance with mechanic! is
just, sufficient to make the confident
statements of the wildcat manufac
turer seem plausible and sound to htm;
he feels a dim reverence for tho "ex
port" who engages him in pleasant con
versation as he peeps timidly at a
weird year box never inspected before
save in black and white section. In a
word, he is easily duped, and he cannot
aitoni to be duped. From a motoring
standpoint, it is lifo and death to him
tint his car shall be not only good but,
if possible, the best at the price. Hence
it is proposed to offer one or two pieces
of very commonplace advice—counsels
known to all who own a car, but oft
forgotten by the novice when he is in
toxicated by vistas of white staff deco
rations and the steely glitter of naked
mechanism. The entire atmosphere of
an automobile exhibition is hypnotic to
the novice already losing mental bal
ance in pleasurable anticipations.
Let Designers Experiment
To begin with, don't experiment.
Some designers do their own experi
menting. They personally spend
months on the road manhandling a
new design, trying to smash it up by
every species of misuse. That is why
their cars are so small and so dear.
Other makers apparently prefer to
have the experimenting done for them
by purchasers. That is why their cars
are so large and so cheap. At every
show now cars of very taking aspect
will be seen —a show polish covereth
a multitude of mechanical errors.
Their sellers are. perhaps, making
their first bow to the public. Jt may
bo a very creditable bow. but—are you
the man to decide whether the how is
a. deceitful smirk or the conscientious
humility of good work well done?
Just as one must not buy a car be
cause it is now, so one must not buy a
ear because it is cheap.' If a firm that
already possesses a wide reputation
. Hi is a car that is appreciably cheap
er than its rivals, the buyer may don
his thinking cap. He will probably
find still cheaper and bigger ears
tucked away in holes and corners
below electric lighted sijins bearing
weird and unknown names. Leave
these to rich philanthropists, anxious
to encourage experiments.
Don't buy a car because it is big, as
the following story from Motor Print
illustrates:

wont to a show and the first person
I met was .Mr. . He said. 'Have
you soon our new six-cylinder at
$1000.'' I tore my check book in my
haste to buy one, but when I woke
I I. II into a cold perspiration to think
I was saddled with a six-cylinder, and
was glad when I had my bath, anil
knew that I had been dreaming. Why.'
Because I cannot afford to run eigh
teen miles to the gallon and wear out
120 mm. tires. I want thirty miles to
! the gallon, and for me, back tires must
be small and last a year. So, although
I could afford to buy that six-cylinder
at $1000, the prince of salesmen should
nol make me do so, for I could not af
ford to run it. The poor man should
be content with tho lowest-powered
and lightest car of decent quality that j
will do his work efficiently.
Many Details Necessary
"There are several details which you I
i an. and should, insist upon In any car,
however modost, Two ignitions, for a
start; thermo-siphon cooling system—i
■he water pump is going out of date,!
though it may be pardoned on a costly
multi-cylinder chassis; three speeds tor
ward, and, if you can get them, four;
a clutch that can be dismounted with
out interfering with the body or the
back axle at any rate, not to speak'
of the engine and gear box (don't be [
afraid of the leather clutch): internal
rear brakes; detachable wheels or rims:
—tho fixed wheel with fixed rim is fast
fading into the prehistoric mist; con
trol mounted above the steering wheel,
not below it; automatic lubrication of
a simple character, with a dash mdi-,
cator, suited for reading by day ori
night; accessible valves, carburettor,!
magneto and contact breaker; a simple
form of change speed quadrant; a dash
board which affords some slight protec
tion against weather: leather uphol
stery, a decent ratio of toll and luggage
capacity, and so forth.
"I think it excellent practice for the
man who is resolved to purchase to|
postpone decision till he has got back
home, and had a quiet think. Coolness
and judgment an- not at their summit
when a fluent salesman is raining
plausible arguments into one's oar
amidst tho ceaseless bustle and blare of,
an automobile show."
ABOLISH AUTO SMOKE
NUISANCE, SAYS LELAND
"I am thoroughly in sympathy with
the efforts being made by the authori
ties in many cities to abolish the auto
mobile smoke nuisance./' says W. C.
Leland, general manager of the Cadil
lac Motor Car company.
"But the city authorities, no matter
how vigilant they may be nor how
strongly backed by law and ordinance,
cannot put an end to the nuisance. Nor I
can the driver of the car in the major- \
ity of cases. The motor car manufac- .
turera are the ones responsible for the
cars which cough smoke with each pis
ton stroke of the engine.
•■The fault, ninety-nine times in a
hundred, is with the car's oiling system.
It is caused by one of two things.!
Either tho ill-fitting parts of the en
gine require an excessive amount of i
lubricant, which is burned with each
explosion of gas, or tho system is j
faulty in that the operator is powerless j
to regulate the flow of oil to his cylin
ders and crank case, in either case the
result is the same—a smoking exhaust. I
"For years we have used an engine
oiling system which has found favor!
with other manufacturers—the splash |
system. Tho result is that there is no
mi for our cars smoking. The oil
is fed Into the crank ease through a I
sight feed, and the operator's control Is
absolute.
"As each cylinder is fired, tho
splasher on the lower end of the con
necting rod .lips down into the oil sup
ply In the crank ease and splashes it
over the bearings, up into the cylinder
—over all moving parts, NO oil pene
trates into-the firing chamber of tho
cylinder except that actually needed,
for lubrication ami carried there by the
piston. It will be readily seen that
there is no chance for the exploding
gas to burn the oil anil produce smoke; j
also that the operator of the car has
bis oil supply under complete control
at all times."
