An American Cadillac of 30 horse power, driven by Adair and Baudette, was second with a score of 1448 miles, an average of more than 60 miles an hour. Ten cars started the long grind at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon and seven finished. Free From Accidents The race was remarkable on account of the freedom from tire trouble and accidents, and because of the great mileage of tbe first and second cars* Tbe race was the first of its kind to be run on a specially constructed speedway in America. The Brighton Beach course, on which the previous record was made, is a one mile track used for horse racing, while tbe motor drome here is a one mile board coarse, with steep banking. Tbe greatest score ever made for 24 hours driving was made by F. Edge, with a Napier car over the Brooks land, England, speedway in 1907. Edge covered 1,560 miles, but it was a record trial and not a competition event. The Cole made a good showing dur ing the early hours of the race, but broke two pairs of cylinders, and was off the track for two hours. During the second hour the Cadillac got inside the Brighton Beach record and broke the marks up to tbe end of the fifth hour when the Fiat took the lead, and shat tered every hour mark to tbe finish. Following was the standing of the cars at the finish: Fiat, first, 1,491 miles Cadillac, second, 1,447 Cole, third,1,219 Cutting,fourth,l,186 War ren-Detroit, fifth, 1167 Croxton, sixth, 1.153 Schachc. seventh, 1,013 miles. epS£3*^^P^* Courtland Fred Zieske of Sleepy Eye was a visitor here a few days last week.

NIGHT LETTER THE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COii" Inc: 25,000 Offices in America. Cable Service to All Parts of tbe World. Cadillac Motor Car Co., Detroit, Mich. .% Cadillac today made greatest mileage ever made by an American car in a 24-hour race, beating former world's records by 195 miles. Covered1,448 miles, an average of 60V& miles an hour for 24 hours of continual running. Second to and *only 43 miles behind special built /7,000 Fiat racing car.

Cadillac 224 miles ahead of nearest following competitor, and 334 miles ahead world's record for 30 horse-power cars. This proves the Cadillac beyond all doubt the American long distance champion. 12:15 a.m. 10th. DON LEE. The Cadillac is not built to make records but it makes records because of the way it is built. Ours is not the usual custom of constructing a car to win an endurance con test and modeling other cars therefrom. The Cadillac Company reverses the process. It builds every Cadillac for every day endurance, and achievements likejthe one just recorded follow as a natural sequence. That endurance which wins contests may come from special preparation— but the every day endurance of the every day Cadillac can be attained only by perfect standardization. Any Cadillac in America, under the same circumstances, would have done precisely as well as did the Los Angeles Cadillac. This contest did not resemble in any way the standardization test which won the Dewar trophy for the Cadillac, but the same underlying principal—standardi zation", and the consequent perfect alignment of all the parts-captured both events. In the one case, the Cadillac ran continuously for twenty-four hours it rolled up the largest mileage ever made by an American car. In the other case, three Cadillacs were torn down, part by part the parts thrown into a confused heap and three perfect running cars rebuilt therefrom. The Dewar Trophy test demonstrated the most perfect standardization ever attained by any car. In the Los Angeles race, the Cadillac merely evidenced the powers of endurance which logically resulted from such standardization. If you drive a Cadillac it is a Dewar Trophy Cadillac just as it is a car capable of the same mileage as the Los Angeles Cadillac. Observe, please, the high horse-power rating and the high price of the one foreign car which passed the Cadillac in the twenty-four hour run by a meagre forty-three miles—a distance of less than two miles per hour. Observe, too, that the car which was next to the Cadillac in mileage finished more miles behind the Cadillac than New York is distant from Washington. Every Cadillac owner knows that all we have said herein is true. You too, doubtless concede to the Cad jriac its unique position of precedence. At any rate, if you want a car of the greatest every day endurance—you must have a car of the highest standardization. If you want the highest standardization, you must choose the Cadillac because it is the most standardized car in the world.
