Automobiling Popular.
The success of the various national

proof that the automobile has won its
way with the sport-loving people OF
America The Vanderbilt race, held on
Long Island, October s. was probably
the greatest meet of recent years, not
even excepting the Gordon Bennett cup
race held in Europe. The race was run
over a course of a little more than 5UO
miles and was won by Heath, an Amer
lean, driving a French car for a French
concern. liter him came Albert Glenn

Tennis Rather Poor.
The tennis OF 1904 was hardly up to
expectations, due, in a measure to the
