W. X. Vanderbilt, Jr. Who Broke
the Automobile
Record

William X. Vanderbilt Jr.. million
aire sportsman and leader in society,
who recently made new worlds auto
record by covering mile in thirty-nine
seconds at Ormond, Fla, is one of the
most expert chauffeurs. amateur OF
professional, in this country,
Mr.. Vanderbilt was one of the first
of the Newport set 10 take up the auto
and for the past four or five years the
newspapers have been filled with ac.
counts of his exploits. His first ma
chine was the famous White Ghost
and with it he broke several records
In 1900 he made run from Newport
to Boston, distance of seventy-five
miles, in two hours and forty seven
minutes. That is not considered much
of a performance in these days. but
at that time it was great going.
The White Ghost was superseded by
the Red Devil. and in that car Mr..
Vanderbilt established his title as cham
pion automobilist of the United States
by defeating all Corners at the meet
of the National Automobile Racing as
ISOLATION held at Newport in 1901.
Again in 1902 he distinguished himself
by breaking the mile record going the
distance in forty-eight and two-fifths
seconds. This trial took place in France.
Since then Mr. Vanderbilt has main
tanned his reputation as a skillful chauf-
feur, as his late performance in Florida
proves. Besides breaking the auto rec
ord he also won trap shooting match
at Palm Beach.
Mr.. Vanderbilt is the eldest son of
William X. Vanderbilt, head of that
famous family, and will some day in
herit the bulk of the vast fortune of
his father, estimated at considerably
over $50OO0.C00. His sister, who is
several years his senior, is Consuelo,
duchess of Marlborough, whose we'd

was one of the most notable social
events of the time.
