MADE TERRIFIC SPEED
IN FIFTY-MILE RACE
w. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., Lowered a
Record in Winning the
Championship.
ONE DRIVER INJURED

ORMOND, Fla, Jan. 30-Fifty miles,
with four turns, in 40 minutes 49 As seconds
was the record made in the Ormond-Day-
tona beach course to-day by W. X. Wander
bilt. jr. The event was for the American
Automobile Association championship at
that distance, open to all. The pace figures
out 1872 miles an hour the best record ever
made in America, and almost as good as
any straightaway record for that distance
in the world. In this long race Mr.. Van
derbilt managed his machine admirably.
In the four turns, necessitated by using the
ten-mile course, he displayed great skill
and daring in making the turn. On COM
plotting the twenty miles his machine left
it's tire marks just about feet 9 inches
from the stake, going at a good speed. His
record for every ten miles of the fiftey was
the best. that of H. c. Bowen being second.
These two records break any previous time
made in America, as follows:
MI NJ mi. 80 mi. 40 mi. so mi.
vanbilt ...7:25 17:O2 PAIL 1852 4O:49 As
Bowen ....7:SO 17:O5 2429 % S5:25 2-5 42:44 2-5
There were nine entries in the ten-mile
invitation race, open TO gentlemen ANA
tours only. Mr.. Vanderbilt again smashed
all previous records, making the distance
in minutes and 80 seconds.
The best previous record was made by
Barney Oldneld 20:32 1-5, at Denver last
year. There were five to start in this
race.
The three motorcycle machines which
raced a mile yesterday, went ten miles
straightaway to-day. CT. II. Curtss won
with the record time of 1854 2-5. He rode
his own machine Oscar Hedstrom and
w. w. Austin came in second and third.
Between the races scheduled for the day
Barney Oldfeld tried ten miles against
time, but did not lower the record.
There was a fluke in the ten-mile free
for-all race, the timing apparatus getting
out of order after the start. Vanderbilt
Bowen and Stanley were the starters, and
they finished in that order.
Bowen and Stevens at scratch, won first
and second places in the twenty-mile han
dicap out OF seven starters NJ. W.
Ehrlich was thrown from his machine and
erndered unconscious.
His injuries consisted OF a dislocated
shoulder and scalp wounds which will not
prove fatal The time for this, the twenty
mile handicap race, was as follows: Bowen
40; Stevens, 1850 20; Christie, 23:19; Shan
ley, z9:16 %. Ehrlich upset. La Roche
started but his machine would not speed
and he returned before covering a mile.
Bowen and Stevens in their sixty-hourse
again in the ten-mile handicap.
In this the tables were turned, Stevens
winning in 7:2S As, against 1888 is by
Bowen. Hugh Willoughby, i'm au auto car.
made the distance In 1885 1-5.
