ELECTRICITY THE WINNER
STEAM AND GASOLINE DEFEATED IN
THE AUTOMOBILE RACE.
L. RIKER COMPLETES FIFTY MILE
COURSE IN TWO HOURS. THREE MIN
UTEs AND THIRTY SECONDS.

While the automobile race on Long Island
yesterday cannot truthfuly be said to have been
the first and only race of the kind in this coun-
try. il was the first real contest held on
this side of the Atlantic Ocean. The original
contest conducted by Fl. Fl. Kohlsaat at
Chicago. on a Thanksgiving Day about FIVE
years ago. About eight machines started, and
most of them finished. Stil that race. with the
old fashioned vehicles which took part. was al
most a caricature upon the splendid and scien-
tific display seen on the MerriCk Road Long
Island, yesterday. The contest held under
the auspices of the Automobile Club of America,
and the experts and the thousands of others
who saw it were loud in their praise CT it
a sporting feature in this district
1t battle between steam, gasolene and
electricity, and electricity took the lead to the
surprise of many people who have made a close
study of the vehicles which are attracting
much attention throughout the mechanical
and sporting world. The wise in the auto
mobile world have maintained that electricity
would furnish a model power for a short dis
lance, but that in a such as that of yester-
day either the steam the gasOlene propelled
vehicles would easily finish in front. There were
PEELED by steam and one by electricity. The

steam and gasolene machines weighed from 400
to 600 pounds each, while the solitary electric
machine weighed 900 pounds, and looked it.
The winner turned up in A. L. Riker. one of
the charter members of the Automobile Club.
His machine of five horse power and he
completed the fifty miles, having the lead from
start to finish, in two hours. three minutes and
thirty seconds On the run out to Babylon, with
the wind at their backs, of the vehicles pro-
PEELED by steam gained nearly two minutes and
a half upon Mr.. Riker but lost this advantage,
and much besides, when the run for home
started, with the wind blowing down the pike
with almost the fury of a gale 1t severe
test for machine and man. and to unbiased
spectator the winner appeared to deserve all of
the applause and congratulations showered upon
him. The appended table shows the finish the
power used and the time.

ing The person accused Of committing
the homicide. 1t seems that Neigen-

Corn asked Welgenhausen II he was a
friend OF Andres Walters, with whom
Corn had been quarrciiing. On re-
ceiving an affirmative answer. Corn
concluded this was enough to cause a

he picked up a sixsho ter and fred
one shot into the ceiling. Corn got
outside the place and was found dying
with Il shot through his abdomen.

6rcd. The court held that Welgen.
hansen was Justified 10 killing Corn in
self defense, aud discharged him. A
further investigation of the case may
show who flred the second shot. II
Welgenhausen did not, and this shoot
