The rules for the reliability contest Of the
National Association of Automobile manu-

announced yesterday, and they reveal plans
OF a novel character. calculated to make the
event the most interesting and important OF
its kind that over has been held.
The run will start from New York at
o'clock on the morning OF Oct l. II is to
finish AZ Pittsburg on the evening of the
18th On Oct. 10 there will be brake and hill
climbing contests. and on the following days
the cars will be thoroughly examined Some
Of the novel features of the rules that vii!
distin guish this contest from all others are
that the cars will be classed according to
selling prices, instead OF weight. that the
carrying capacity and the condition of tho
cars at the finish will be considered in the
awards. Most striking Of all the departures.
though is that providing for the critical
observation Of the cars on the road and strict
reports on their behavior.
In the coming contest the competitors
AMI manufacturers will be asked TO nominate
competent persons for observers, preferably
some employee thoroughly familiar with
mechanical details. Under no circumstances
will an observer be allowed TO ride on any car
whom he is named or employed Always
ne will be upon the car Of a rival maker and
he will be changed every night IRON one car
to another
The classes into which tho cars will be
divided are:
