eight to fifteen miles an hour may be relied
upon to duplicate the performance on al
most any other five-hundred-.nile course in
this country.
In short. this endurance run is expected
to bear such relation TO the automobile
industry in America as have the Paris-Bor-
deauX, Paris-Berlin and other lons-distance
speed contests of recent years borne toward

French automobiles and their enormous
sales in other countries are largely aseribed
to the keenness of the speed conlps fitiors
and the splendid advertisements those conf
petitions have afforded.
