AUTOMOBILES IN GERMANY.
An Interesting Account of the Ex-
position at Berlin.

unique issue of the consular reports
that are published daily by the State De-
partment appeared this morning. This is
sue is profuseIy illustrated, with many
full-page, half-tone engrayings, the sub
ject Of the illustrations being a report from
Consul General Frank H. Mason, of Berlin,
on the International Motor Carriage Ex-
position at Berlin.
Mr. Mason reports the opening of the
exposition on September 3 last, at which
the German Emperor was present, and
then describes the principal features of
the show.-A part of Consul General Ma
sons letter follows:
LAS classified under the schedule previ-
ously announced the exhibition includes
forty different models and types of motor
carriages for one passenger or more Thir-
teen exhibitors show motor wagons for
freight; tWenIy-six numbers cover eXhib-
its of motor cycles, and the rail carts be-
longing thereto; six firms exhibit motors
and parts Of the same; two show only
springs and wheels for motor carriages;
fifty-one firms exhibit various miscellane-
Gus parts. fixtures, and materials, and
five exhibitors display literature, drawings.
of automobilism has thus far developed.
In estimating the success of this exhi-
bition it is essential to remember that
automobilism and the manufacture of mo-
tor vehicles is of comparatively recent
birth in Germany but this exhibition has
revealed for the first time how generously
German engineers and manufacturers have
taken hold of the new industry.
The exhibition shows about the usual
proportions of carriages propelled by elec-
rrie and some form of hydro-carbon motor,
oil. benZine, or gasoline. Large sales have
been made. Ii is noticed that for town er
city use the electrical carriages have the
4 preference among purchasers. while for
country districts and freight and delivery
wagons the benzine and gasoline motors
are preferred. This is the natural result
of considerations which apply equally in
/ all countries.
The electrical carriage is more easily
4 handled than those of the oil or benzine
! type. 1t is self-starting, free from smell,
( practically noiseless and can be run at
wide ranges Of speed without the use of
different gear wheels. II is good for forty
miles without recharging, which is quite
sufficient for ordinary city, park. or sub
urban driving and can be managed by a
skiII1ul amateur without the presence and
help of professional driver.
Three trials OF. speed were among the
prescribed features of the exhibition. The
first, from Berlin to BaumgaFten Bridge
and return. 40.4 miles, on the 18th of Sep
tember was won by an Astor tricycle.,
driven by Broca, in 1876 minutes and 80 sec
onds. although the winner lost some time
through having been shut off at a railway
crossing. The second race, from Berlin
to Dresden and return, l19 miles was fixed
for Sunday. September Il, but was inter-
fered with by heavy. persistent rains

WINNING ATHLETIC FAME
Washington Boys Prominent in The
Various College Teams.
Conspicuous Positions Held by Them
AT Yale. Harvard, Princeton. and
the Other ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS En-
yfabIe Work at High Jumping.
Dudley a Star ON the Blue Team.

Every season sees the names Of num-
bers of Washington boys on the roles OF
the football elevens of the large Northern
colleges, but this year the number has in
creased TO point never equaled before
In the athletic circles of Princeton, Cor
nell, and Yale universities Washington
men are this year holding conspicuous po-
sitions.
Al Princeton George Curtiss, who gradu-
ated from the Central High School in '9S,
is just beginning his sophomore year. He
has made an enviable athletic record in
the past season, having won five second
prizes for high jumping in the college
games. Mr.. Curtias' record for the high
Jump is FIVE feet ten inches, which ne
made last year in the Corneli-Princeton
games.
In Washington, Curtiss is a member Of
the Woodside Athletic Club, in which ne
is the captain OF the track team. T-4is
year MIR. Curtiss viii continue to take
part in the jumping contests, and he is ex-
pected to reach the six-foot mark by the
coming spring.
AT Cornell, Washington has three rep
resentatiEes-Youug Taussig, and Bal
linger Young and Taussig entered Cor
themselves as fine athletes. Young has
confined himself TO sprinting, and he has
done very good work in the inter-class
games He has, however, injured his right
leg and will be compelled TO keep away
from the cinder path until after Christmas
Taussig has made good record in good
football work. He is nor on the regular
varsity team, but his record as substi-
tute has been appreciated by the coacher
and there is little doubt but that he will be
put on the varsity eleven next year.
BaIlinger entlred Cornell this fall, and
as he was good oarsman in the Columbia
Athletic Clubs crews, ne will try TO get
an oar in a college crew next spring.
Dudley and Lincoln are the representa-
tives OF Washington al Yale and Harvard.
Dudley is al ol2 Columbia Athletic Club
mar He matriculated three years ago ana
became a member Of the varsity football
team in his freshman year. The same year
be scored the touchdown against the Price
ton tigers. This year Dudley has not been
playing any football, as he is pretty well
used up. 1t is possible, however, that he
will play before the season ends.
Lincoln is a graduate of the Friends Sc
lect School. Last year he entered Yale and
soon Joined the freshman crew in the eight
cared shell. His excellent work during
the past season entities him 10 a good
chance OF entering the varsity crew this
year
In Swarthmore College Washington can
boast Of tbs star football player. Harry
Beard is well known locally. having for
three years played end tackle on the Co.
lumbian University team.
On The SEarthmore eleven he is playing
half back, and this year every team that
has played against him has had good cause
10 remember his prowsss. as his end run
ming has bzen phenomenal and is the sub
ieet OF much talk in the smaller colleges.
