NutOUopllS nan Mile IN 10 on rack.
An automobile running on an oval trot-

five and six miles. each and all in faster
time than any man, machine or beast
ever went around a track before The
time for the six miles was 6 minutes AZ
seconds. The fastest mile, the third, was
done in / minute As seconds.
This Is faster time than has ever been
made ON straightaway road by horse

tive running on rails The only feat that
compares with 1t is that of Charles Muir
ply who rode a bicycle under abnormal
conditions behind locomotive trailing

1899.
The automobile that performed the
great feat was one of French make. 1t
was manipulated by Henri Fourier, and
his companion was William x. Wander
btlt, Jr- who was a guest. The rules re-
quire two men to be in the motor vehicle
in any record-making or endurance test
The second man is needed for ballast
and usually he is a mechanic. Mr.. Van
derbilt did not act as a mechanic.
Fourier did it all and the very young
millionaire simply sat erect and smiled
and chatted as If out for a pleasure trip

Travelled before unless it was behind one
of the locomotives in which he holds

Fourier has often run an automobile
faster than a mile minute on a straight
