AUTOMOBILE RACES

During the last few weeks automobile races
have been held in Newport, Guttenburg, Trenton
and Chicago In some instances the trials ex-
tended through several days Everywhere the
attendance was so large as TO testify to the
immense popularity Of the horseless carriage
with those who own and hope TO own such
vehicles. Wealth and fashion were largely rep
resented both among the active participants and
among the spectators. Thus 1t appears that
whatever be the mechanical defects of the auto
mobile at the present time, and the risks grow
Ing out of the inexperience and recklessness Of
owners, II has come TO stay and is an object of
steadily growing Interest. That ii also promises
to be. II 1t is not already, source of profit to
the manufacturer is evident from the large sales
that are reported at some of the recent competi-

cent trials 1t is perhaps worthy OF note that
for some reason the electric and steam vehicles
were withdrawn from the fifty mile race at
Chicago which Is said to be the longest race
yet run in America, But 1t would be unwise to
indulge in hasty differences about this proceed
ing. 1t may have been due to some purely
formal objection, and not TO timldity. In the
matter OF speed thirty and forty miles an hour
have been repeatedly recorded for runs of CON
siderable length, and something like a mile a
minute has been made in short ones. These re-
suits are secured on the racetrack. not on q
country highway. But If there is any occasion
for regret concerning them it is because they are
too good. not because they are not good enough

Kriiger is not simply private individual, and
could not be without resfgning his Presidency
of the Transvaal and annulling his declaration
OF war against Great Britain And If he should
do that he would have no right to retain and to
carry with him the State treasures and archives
of the TransvaaL If he should travel an
accredited diplomatic agent of the Transvaal he
might be immune, as Messrs. Sldell and Mason
were held to be in the Trent affair But there
is no intimation that he is thus accredited by
the Transvaal Government. Az President of
the Transvaal he could scarcely claim immu-

as belligerent of Importance and distinction
and it seems to be pretty well established that
such travellers are not protected on the high
seas by neutral flag, but that it is instead a
violation of neutrality TO convey them.

Mr. Kriiger anywhere. On the contrary, she
may be we'll pleased at the thought of his going

cause her far less trouble and embarrassment
than in South Africa or as a prisoner of state
on her own hands. II so, she will probably
not molest him his voyage from Lourenco
Marques to whatever land he may select as the
goal of his last Great Trek. His transportation
of public moneys and archives is, however a
different matter. To that Great Britain will
naturally object and it seems not unlikely that
her objection viii be effective.
