The repair OF the meadow turnpike has
revived interest in automobile runs to this
city, and one was made in the early part
of the week that created new record for
the distance between Philadelphia and At
lantic City. The run was made on a wager
between Mr.. Gotschalk and Mr.. George
wilkins both of Philadelphia. The dis
lance of sixty-two miles from Camden to
this city was made in the very good time
of seventy-eight minutes by Mr.. wilkins,
his opponent arriving eight minutes later.
Many miles were reeed off at the rate OF
a mile a minute, and a few miles under
that time. The record from Philadelphia
has heretofore been held by Mr. G. Jason
Waters.
