Hardness Invited to Go in Tests Next
Week

The international cup trials of the Auto
mobile Club of America yesterday were
postponed by the racing committee until
Monday morning next because of the con-
tinued rainy weather which put the West
bury Merrick course, on Long Island, in
condition far from suitable for clip faster
than eight miles an hour. In the country
the present legal rate is twenty miles,
While 1t Is not stated that H. s. Hark-
ness. who failed to report with his racing
conception Tuesday at break Of day, still
has chance to qualify for the Irish team,
he has been invited by the committee to be
present at next weeks trials and parttci-
pate in the proceedings. This may mean
that Chairman Scott and his associates de-
sire to have Mr.. darkness drive his ma
chine sufficiently SO that he can be desig-
mated as a substitute.

his home in Cleveland, taking with him the
small car which he used the other morn

their four boys have recently return

their age, health and the boys need
of education, their work in Jamaica
I is done. He has labored there fol-

He told how the Jamaica chapels

of the Iowa Yearly Meeting; Of the
loyalty of Jamaica Friends to the
doctrines of the church; of the re
