 In many respescts the race will be one Of the most remarkable ever run. both for the number and character of the con- testants, the prodigious power and speed of the machines, and the probability or record breaking runs. Leading sports men from ali over Europe and many from the other side of the Atlantic have gather ed here to see the performance. as it Is fully expected that the records of the Paris Berlin race in 1901 and the Paris Vienna race in 1902 will be far exceeded by this, the leading long distance contest of 1908.

 The competitors include all the holders of long distance records, including Rene de Knyff, the winner of the first Paris Bordeaux race; Henri Fournier. the win ner of the second Paris Bordeaux race, and the Parls-Beriln race.

Un- fortunately cannot go to Ireland at present. but in the meantime if any of them feel aggrieved at my wife's action shall be most happy to afford them satisfaction in this accommodating coun- try-France."
