GREAT AUTOMOBILE RACE.
Long Island the Competing Ground OF
Four Nations.

our x<dtlOHSs
Amateur and professional AUTOMOBILE
lists, including some of the most expert
racing men in the world, met in re-
markable competition over a 30-mile
course on Long Island. The event was
the first contest for the w. Il. Wander
bilt, Jr., automobile cup. 1t was inter-
national in character, and although the
trophy was only offered last June eigh-
teen cars entered, representing four ia
tions-the United States, Germany,
France and Italy. The 30-mile course
was traversed ten times, making a trife
over 800 miles for the route, and the
club whose member won the race will
hold the trophy for the coming year.
This is the first time in America that
anything on so extensive a scale in au-
tomobile racing has ever been attempted.
Il was practically the Gordon Bennett
race transported to this country. The
distance and the conditions were practi-
cally the same, while the fact that three
of the cars were competitors in the last
Gordon Bennett race in Germany and
that FIVE cars took part in the famous Ar
dennes race in France impaired an inter
national flavor to the event that has
never been seen in automobile circles here
before.
There was no limit to the speed tina.
the cars might go. The first one in was
the winner. The 30-mile circuit gave ar
admirable test of all sorts of road condi
tons, in some places being smooth enough
for speed greater than the best railroad
locomotive can attain, while in Other
places it was necessary for safety tt
slow down a bit.
To appreciate the remarkable speed at
tanned by the leading contestants in the
race one has only to make few compari
sons. The winner. Heath, covered the
800 miles Of the course in 3 hours II
minutes and 40 seconds, or at an average
speed Of about ffty-fve miles an hour
which is considerably faster than thu
average speed maintained by passengel
trains in a twenty hour run over the COX
miles from Chicago to New York. H.
made this time ON a public road and il
addition to guarding against chance oh
stacles on the way had to slacksn hi
pace to admit of three fairly sharp turns
on each of his ten trips around the 80
mile triangle of the course. He was de
layed, also, by broken tire.
This country was represented by fv'
cars. One of these is an Italian ma
chine of 80 horse power, which covered
go miles in Italy at rate of 80 mile
an hour. Another machine, the Florida
owned by William X. Vanderbilt, made
mile in 80 seconds in Florida last win
ter.
The Long Island race, now a subjec
of discussion among automobilists in al
parts of the world, is hailed as anothe
proof of the great possibilities Of tn
automobile. Meantime, the automobiist
pay the penalty of thsir reckless darinl
| in holding these contests.

United States Golf Association contains the
announcement:
IAN expression of opinion as to the
method by which tine amateur champion
ship shall be played will be asked of the
delegates present at the meeting"
Hitherto delegates present have ex-
pressed their opinions without the A. 8. @.
A. issuing any formal announcement, and
hitherto precious little notice has been
taken of those opinions which were worth
having. Furthermore, last year the U. 8.
g. A.. to quote its own expression. mailed
circulars to more than sixty prominent
the prominent golfeSs, with the exception
OF Mr.. Ffndlay Douglass, voted In favor Of
q medal round yet the u. g.. q. A. made
the competition all match play.
In view of the fact that the United States
Golf Association has In past years ignored
the pleadings Of tried players, golfers are
now asking how much heed will be paid the
delegates II they do express an opinion?
The game Is now a good, strong. iusty
youngster, grown old enough to claim a
voice, and, as well-known amateu, re-
marked: 1T Is time the United States Golf
Association listened to the popular voice
more attentively and abandoned its attf-
tude Of treating 1t like a Maynard child.
AS regards the method under which the
amateur championship should be played,
there can be no doubt that the qualifying
round would be supported by a large pro-
portion of the really prominent players
As to the number of men to qualify, or the
number OF rounds, these are surely matters
of convenience and details which could be
determined later. Mr.. 8. Y. Heebner has
been the working end among the officials,
and from practical experience he knows
how to best work medal compet ftion.
With the proposed increase from seven TO
nine members of the executive committee
maybe two players of repute will be chosen
In this event more confidence than hereto
fore will be reposed in the leading body.
