AUTO.RACES THURSDAY.

Great preparations have been made for
the auto races at Narragansett park next
Thursday. The races will begin at 2
racing talent in the world including Mon
sieur Henri Fournier, The winner OF The
famous races of France
Only three days ago Fournier astonished
the world by breaking all records from
one to six miles at the Empire City track,
New York, and making the fastest time
ever made, except by a locomotive on
rails. The fastest mile was made in
1:O6 4-5. 1t was his own record that
Fournier broke, and he did IL by nearly
six seconds. The best former world :
record was l minute 13 seconds. made
by himself at Fort Erie last month.
Fournier said that II was his first time
on the track and he was sure he could
do even better than he had. He had held
an exaggerated notion about the great
difference there would be i'm turning cor
ners at speed of lis and at a speed
of 1907 and had been more cautious than
he otherwise should be.
William X. Vanderbilt. Jr., and the
Red Devil" are entered i'm the races, and
while he will not race with Fournier,
the opportunity will be afforded TO COM
pare their time
Kenneth A. skinner, worlds champion
trycyclist, has entered the class for tri-
cycles.
1T is probable that not more than five
carriages will go at one start. A flying
start is specified I'm the conditions. and
this means from tape 100 yards back of
the wire. The contestants will draw for
position and be guided by the pole car
riage, a. In horse race, approaching the
tape slowly in a line. When they all
cross together they will be started by a
pistol shot and go for the wire. Their
time will be taken as they go under the
wire.
The judges Will be DR.. J. A. Chase, pres
ident OF the club; Congressman Melville
Bull, John Carter Brown Woods, Richard
5. Rowland and William Gammell. Harry
\. DuVillard will be clerk of the course.
The timers will be c. II. Perkins. Colonel
Frank F., Olney, Leander r. Peck and
II. A. Kirby. Their clerk Will be Walter
Saurges Harry Martin will be registra-
tion clerk. The stewards of the meeting
are John Shepard, Jr., Fred T. Perkins.
n. lincoln Hittftitt and Frederick q. afet-
cher.
His Excellency Governor Gregory and
the general officers OF the state have been
invited and the event will probably de-
Velop into something OF social affair.
Three boxes have been reserved for Mr..
Nanderblts guests. and the demand for
box seats has far exceeded the supply.
In consideration Of this the club has de-
cidcd on plan unique i'm this city az
the meet itself, and will sell n limited
number Of the boxes at auction i'm the
lobby OF the Narrsgansett Hotel tomor-
row evening.

Odd Surnames.

would appear to be one of the oldest
names on record. The unlucky lad is named
Adolph Maximilian f.. II. c.. these three
letters OF the alphabet being all he can
boast of as surname.
The recruiting sergeant severely repri-
manded the young volunteer for disre-
spectful Joking when he spelled out his
abbreviated patronymic. and was only
convinced that the appellation was bona
fide when the lad showed his papers.
IL seems, however. that there are

not so uncommon as might be supposed.
There are said to be five persons in Paris
