VERY FAST TRIAL mile
TOM COOPER MADE THE DISTANCE
IN lilo Id IN WORKOUT.
Believes Track VIII Be Suitable for
Mile-a-Mfnute Record TO-Morrow-
Trials of other Cars.

A mile in ITO 1-5 and half in :33 Is was
the time made by Tom Cooper in the trials
with his big $685. racing machine at the
state fair grounds track yesterday after
noon. 1t was late in the evening when the
first tests. The track was in excellent con-
dition, Notwithstanding the recent hard
rains. Cooper opened the valves and
whirle6 around the track at lightninglike
speed. He made the circuit about ten or
twelve times, when he said he would try a
mile for time. He gave the machine nearly
its fastest speed, and it Numbered around
the track. throwing dirt nearly a hundred
feet as II MADE the turns. The half was
caught in :33 is, and the small crowd that
watched the performance stood in amaze
ment as the big machine tore along the back
stretch. liz was only few seconds until il
made the turn into the home stretch Coon
opened the valves and made a spectacu-
lar squirt for the wire, finishing the mile
in ITO l-5.
When ne brought his big eighty-horse
power racing machine TO a stop ne was told
the time he had made. Instead of showing
much surprise. he remarked that he believed
the track would be suitable for a mile-a-
minute record tomorrow afternoon, when
he will drive against George Weidely. of
indianapolis, in five-mile match for a
$1,000 purse. Cooper said the track was
ly adapted for high speed. He believes il
will be very fast for the automobile races
Decoration day afternoon. Cooper showed
no more concern in making a mile in ITO
than an ordinary driver would in covering
the distance in two minutes He STAYED
close to the rail, and, while his big machine
slipped trifie on the turns, he did not per-
init IL TO swerye out of the course. He said
the mile was merely a sample of what can
be expected in the races Tomorrow as he
intends to go out after all records, from one
TO five miles, in the match race
George Wedely was also at the track but
he did not make any phenomenal speed i'm
his trials. He had trouble with the oiling
apparatus on his engines, and the best mile
was done in 1i0 He has fixed the oiling
cups, and says he will go out for fast miles
in his trials this afternoon. Both men are
confident of winning the big event to-mor-
row, and some highly sensational sport may
be expected in the big match.
Other machines were at the track and
We're given trials. Charles Sommers's big

cap event, was sent a mile in 1:50 and no
effort was made To make a good mark Som

defenders in Long Island sound. After sail
ing nine miles of the first leg of the race
the Constitutions topmast was carried

Reliance and Columbia finished the race,
but it had become a procession, for Co

five miles had been sailed. Reliance crossed
the finish line a winner by eight minutes
