The 500 mile automobile reliability con-
test from New York to Boston and return.
under the auspices of the Automobile Club
of America, began before the headquarters
of the club at 5Sth street and 9Th avenue,
New York, yesterday. There were eighty
ma chines of various kinds entered, and
seventy-five started. Most of them had
been entered by the manufacturers of au-
tomobiles, who had accepted the clubs in
vitation to test the reliability of their re-
spective makes of vehicles. large crowd
gathered in anticipation of the start, and
stayed until the last machine had gone.
Every starter was cheered.
The official starter of the race was NJ.
t Burton. He started the autos off at
half minute intervals. The contest COM
mittee- of the club consisted of w. E. Scar
rift, George F. Chamberlain, John A. Hill
and Albert R. Shattuck, president of the
Auto Club of America.
To the machine showing the greatest
number of reliability marks will be given
the presidents cup, the Scarritt cup to the
second best, the Chamberlain cup to the
third and the Hill cup to the fourth.
The first accident reported was a slight
arrangement of the machinery of auto car
No 13, which had to be stopped for few
minutes at I'D street and 9Th avenue. Re
pairs being made, it continued on. 1t is a
ten-horse-power machine.

early age aud always lived a faith
full, consistent Christian. In 1861
he enlisted in the Third Missis-

AN IMPARTIAL" HISTORIAN.

The Eagle ordered some WAR
Stories, by George l.. Kilmer,"
which we're said in the advertise
ment to be accurate and impartial.
We have published two or three oil
them, and while reasonably salts
fed with the details of facts pre-
sented, yet we do not like the Ian
guage in which the said facts are
sometimes couched as well as we
thought we would.
Why a literary syndicate will
propose to sell to a southern news
paper war stories in which the
Confederates are invariably referred
to as "the enemy" we do not
know. An impartial writer, whose
writings are supposed to be read
and enjoyed by people on both
sides of the line, might avoid the
use Of this term altogether. In
the article, "Shiloh Retaken," the
bent of the writer is shown. Even
according to his own story, the
Confederates, fighting against great
odds in numbers, and fighting, this
time, on the offensive, and not
"behind breastworks," inflicted a
loss of 10000 upon the Federal ar
mics and lost less number them
selves, yet no allusion is made to
anything "heroic" on their part,
while Prentiss fought so valiantly"
on Sunday, and the fight of Rous'
seau 8 brigade, another federal di-
vision, is described as BLOODY and
heroic"
1t is little peculiar that all the
"valiant" and "heroic" plays were
made on onei side only. The
other people, in the mind Of this
impartial" historian, were evil
IDENTIFY not doing anything worthy
of praise or commentator. Yet
at Shiloh they managed someho"
to kill more on the other side than
they lost themselves, and drove
their foes before them at will until
the Federals we're reinforced and
their numbers became overwhelm'
ing.
The Eagle presented these sto
ries under the wrong impression
that they we're truly impartial, il
language as otherwise, and WI
regret that we were disappointed
Only one or two more remain
, when we will "cut out" Mr.. Kilmel
! and avoid such Impartial" histo
rians in future. He does give thu
-. facts without great distortion anC
g is not so bad as he might be, o.
e else no more of his illusions woulC
J be printed at all. If they get too
rank they will be cut out anyway
