THE INVASION OF THE AUTOS
Streets
se. in Innumberable Odd Ways.

The great mobility and therefore the
great range of action, the fact of its being
able to carry sufficient fuel for some 500
miles. the invisibility of the car itself,
the absence Of noise, as well as its gen
eral construction, ali add to its great
scope and utility.
Amid snow, ice and trackless forests,
numbering and hauling logs are now car
ried on with the greatest ease and speed,
for the snow traction auto the biggest
thing In automobiles, has successfully
snoothed away the difficulties attending
the work.
This huge machine, in successful opera
ton in General Russell Ayers extensive
Michigan pineries, plows its way thru
snow drifts and over rocks, stunps
everything In the way Of obstacles in an
uncleared country, leaving behind 1t a
smooth and hard packed ice road. At the
same time, it carries an enormously heavy
! load of lumber and moves at the rate of
about twelve miles an hour.
The big auto was made strictly for work
and looks much like an unusually large
box car, with doors and windows on all
sides, and big chimney protruding from
! the top.
The snow traction auto, however, is not
the only machine that can overcome diff
culties in transit.
Even In paved city streets obstacles APP
parently unsurmountable constantly make
their appearance and are promptly sup
pressed by auto power.
The use of horse drawn emergency
wagons by the trolley companies of large
cities will soon be entirely dispensed with.
| A trolley company In Washington, D. C.,
has installed an electric automobile troll
| ley repair vehicle. which in actual service
| is daily demonstrating it's economy.
| It was determined to take advantage Of
| the company's facilities for battery
charging by procuring self-propelled re-
| pair wagon. Since its installation the
vehicle has met every requirement, and
when not in use the storage space is small
and the cost Of maintenance practically
nil. The vehicle complete weighs about
81 tons. A towing device for replacing
derailed cars or taking disabled car to
the repair shop is provided.
4 OF even more Importance in keeping a
municipality up to the requirements OF
modern progress is the unique automobile
street sweeper and sprinkler that a
Frenchn1an gave to the world.
There are the trolley sweepers and
sprinklers, to be- sure. but this little

:G0PHERS AT CLEAR LAKE
MINI. Football Squad Starts It's Pre-.

Men of Promise.

A score Of the candidates for the Min
nesota football team are now CHARTERED
at Clear Lake, quiet spot near Coney
Island. Clear Lake Is an isolated spot,
unfrequented by summer boarders, and it
was selected by DR.. Williams for this
reason, as the coach does not wish his
men annoyed by outsiders.
Among the men who went out yester-
day besides DR.. Williams and Assistant
Coach Qobie, were Captain Rogers, left
end; Sig Harris, quarter; Irsfield. half

EXPECT MANY STARTERS
Yacht Club Regatta Will Be Good
Sport, if Weather
Permits.

The fifth race Of the Excelsior Yacht
Club will be sailed over the regular course
tomorrow, the preparatory gun being
fired at 3:15. AS there will be but one
more race this season it is expected that
there will be many contestants in each
class. With the right kind of a breeze
the yachtsmen expect good sport, as
forty-eight boats are registered In the
club fleet.
Owing to the large number Of entries
the regatta committee have decided to
have each class go over the line on a Ely
ing start instead of on the respective
time allowance of each boat as hereto
fore. There will be a gun for each class
allowing five minutes lapse between each
class; specials crossing first. second class
cats, first class cats, second class sloops,
and last the big frst-class sloops. The
time allowance will be deducted from
each boat when crossing the home buoy.

COMET Il. And VENTURE
These Boats Practically Cinched the
Championship in Races at
Oshkosh.

Oshkosh Wis, Aug. 2S.-Comet H..
Fred Pabst's new yacht, and D. w. Buch-
mans Venture went out yesterday IN the
fourth championship regatta for their re-
Spective classes. The races were sailed An
a 20-mile gale with high seas, and the
sport was of the most strenuous nature.
All boats went out under triple reefed cam
vas. The raters were sent away at 1880.
All got over the line nicely Apache Moki,.
Kayoshk, Comet, Kite and Alberta lead
ing with Peshtigo. Pats, Mavis and
Aderyn trailing. The course was the tri-
angular twice around The first leg was
hard beat to windward and proved q
severe test for the boats. PeshtiEo and
Seeress were forced out Of the race The
former broke her lib halyard, the other
shipped SO much water she could not con-
tinue. AT the weather mark Alberta led
with Kayoshk and Comet hot after her.
On the reach to the second mark, Alberta
lost her rudder and tho reaching well and
in the lead was forced to retire. Comet
drew up on Kayoshk and just after round
ing the marx overlook and passed her to
windward Near the finish Of the first
round Moki which was in fourth position,
lost her rudder and abandoned the fight.
With half the race won and Alberta, Moki,
Seeress and Peshtigo out of the race and
Kayoshk. the famous Oshkosh champion,
over two minutes behind, Comet once
more headed for the weather mark, care
Iuuy picking nST way lOIOWlllS up every
advantage the wind offered her. taking no
chances The Milwaukee flyer held her
own and at the mark led by 2 minutes,
16 seconds. On the wind again the Comet
increased this 3S seconds, but lost % sec
onds to the Kayoshk on the last leg.
In class B Pluto led Argo, Nokomis,
Flying Fox, Reliance and Sox. The Fox
Lake boat and Reliance found the seas too
heavy to weather and dropped out, Pluto,
Venture and the others continuing
When near the weather mark Pluto, Of
White Bear lake, plowed thru huge wave
and shipped so much water she could not
continue. Sox also dropped out and left
Venture. Nokomis and Argo to fight 1t
out. The Venture crew sailed their craft
carefully and slowly drew away from her
rivals, defeating Argo by 10 minutes.
* The result of the races practically
awards the championship cups to Comet
H. and Venture. Comet H.. has Bills
points. Kayoshk, her nearest rival.
S4S.9. Venture has 1925 and Pluto her
nearest rival, 1888 points.
In a twenty-knot breeze La Rita SAIL
ing under the colors Of the Chicago Yacht
club, yesterday took the first of a series
of three races off Chicago on Lake Michi-
gan for possession of the Sir Thomas Lip
ton cup. Sprite, also representative Of
the Chicago Yacht club, came in second,
two minutes and forty five seconds after
La Rita had crossed the finish line.
Hoosier came In third, Little Shamrock
fourth, Pilot fifth and Outlaw sixth.
La Rita's time for the race, which was
twice over a triangular course, six miles
in length, two miles to the leg, was two
hours, ten minutes and fifty seconds.

French machine which has won such uni

French machine which has won such uni
versal favor is far more serViceable-be-
ing small, compact, and manipulated
equally well in highways and byways.
No tracks are needed for the running Of
this machine, which goes into places that
have probably never felt anything but a
semi occasional scrub from the human
street sweeper's broom.
A great advantage about the auto street
cleaner lies in the fact that it raises not
a particle of dust, and in sprinkling the
streets it does not flood them, making pas
sage disagreeable for pedestrians.
For speed ard comfort In the way Of
street carriages nothing can exceed the
automobile bus, which first made its APP
pearance in London streets and has rapid
ly made it's way into the popularity Of
other big cities on both sides of the At
lantic
This auto-bus slows up for a passenger
and is off again all in one-half the time
it took the original bus to stop. The re-
markable ease and facility with which the
huge vehicle is made to thread its way
thru the crowded traffic Of the city streets
has been great card In its favor among
pedestrians, and the fact that 1t is self
controlled and needs no expert drivers has
found favor in the eyes of street railway
companies, so the automobile bus has un-
! doubtedly come to stay.

CREsCEUs STILL GOOD
Ketcham's Great Horse Easily Low
ers His Own Record for Half
Mile Track.

"A new worlds record for a half-mile
track Of 2:0SA was made by George H.
Ketcham's Cresceus at Dayton Ohio, yes
terday afternoon. Ketcham drove him.
CresceusSWas paced by Mike the Tramp,
driven by DR.. A. Scott Ives Of Montreal,
and by a steam automobile driven by Mr..
Denzer. This was an experiment, and it's
utility remains to be demonstrated.
The runner was alongside, and the auto
mobile to the rear. In the back stretch
on the first half the chauffeur crowded up
and Ketchum could be heard at the dis
lance pole telling him to keep off. The
track was in good condition and the wind
almost calm at 4:10 whe nthe record was
made.
Ketcham gave the word on the second
attempt. So easily did Cresceus move
that few realized that the worlds record
Of 2:O9A made by him at Kansas City
two years ago was doomed.
About IL, 900 persons attended the grand
circuit races at Readville yesterday. The
conditions were not perfect for extremely
fast time. The track had not dried out
sufficiently to be as good as possible,
while the clouds kept the sun from shin
ing.

D0HERIY IS CHAMPION
British Player Has an Easy Time in
Defeating Larned at
Tennis.

:
The British tennis champion, H. L.
Doherty, yesterday won the championship
of the United States in three straight sets
from W. A. Larned before a great throng
of tennis enthusiasts at Newport. That
the Britisher, who seems to be almost UNI
beatable, would annex the championship
in singles to his long list of honors seemed
to be the opinion of all who witnessed
the start of the big event.
When Doherty, by brilliant play, set
out a pace that took the heart from
Larned in the very first game, it was
apparent that the SET the succeeding sets
and the title were safely in the grasp OF
the Briton
The first set was won by Doherty, 60,
the second, 6-3, and the third went to him
after burst of play by the United States
champion that evoked unparalleled en-
thusiasm from the spectators.
Doherty won the third and final set
10 to 8.
