CADILLAC'S GREAT WORK

was made by the machines. and a num-
Der Of thrilling brushes brought cheers
and shouts OF encouragement from men
and women.
The honors Of the day were taken by
three cars, the St. Louis, the Cadillac,
and a Winton. The Cadillac won every
thing easily in the runabout class. and
gave some OF the bigger machines q.
tussle. The st. Louis made the best
half mile. the best mile. and the best
two miles of the day.
The Cadillac began its good work
early. The machine is the property of a
well-known washingtonian. and it can
be seen daily running about the city
carrying four people. II was operated
in the trying-out heats and in the
races by b. d Shaw. who proved him
self to be an excellent man on the seat.
The first race. q distance of three miles
was between the Cadillac mentioned and
another car Of the same type. Charles
E. Tyser was the driver OF the second
machine. After covering four laps in
the race. Tyser's car gave out and
Shaw sent his machine against time,
