Two Machines Return.

Supper was taken at Alexandria. and
a fake telegram brought James Martin
and Claude Norton down from Washing
ton in another auto. The situation was
explained to them and they agreed to
go back on the ice. It was moonlight
when the two machines were sent away
and they burned up the lee It was
comparatively easy going because all
the chauffeurs had to do was to follow
the tracks of the down trip.
About two miles from Washington a
fog settled over the river and the autos
were let out TO the last link to get TO the
starting place before the fog became too
dense. as the experimenters did not want
to take a fiier on losing the trail and
taking a tumble into the steamboat
channel.
The big auto weighed 200 pounds and
the four men in it weighed about $50
pounds, but not once did the ice show
signs of breaking and Frank Freeman
said he believed that heavy artillery
could have gone over the same route
without any difficulty.

Successful Trip to Alex

MADE EXCELLENT TIME
Only Two Flaws Found in Roadway,

Return by Moonlight.

Auton1obiling on the ice is the latest
thing In Washington.
It's all right when the ice is, and for
the .-st two weeks the ice has more
than filled the bill as a speedway.
The first trip of the new kind was
made on Monday, when a party of four
Washingtonians went to Alexandria in
an auto, using the Potomac as a high
way, and all report that "a very pleas
ant evening was spent" The auto be-
longed to w. c. Freeman, and with him
were his brother, J. Frank Freeman,
John Smith. and Frank Faunce-
A New Record.
The trip was an experiment, but it
was a decided success, and incidentally
set a new record, for it is not thought
that anybody else has ever been so anx-
ious to get to Alexandria that he would
take a chance on trusting himself on the
ice in a bubble buggy. The course was
from the west side of the Long Bridge
to Portner's brewery, distance of
about six miles. Under the bridge there
was found six inches of water on the Ice
as a result Of the drippings from above,
and the autoists thought at first that
they were about to do Dorsey ROUTE
disappearing act, but Frank Freeman
went ahead In q pair OF gum ooots anu
found the ice strong enough TO hold
train of Pullman cars.
From the bridge to Alexandra there
were only two places that caused trouble
and they were where the air had broken
the ice as result of the trips Of the
Norfolk boats. The cracks were aoout
three feet wide, but were successfully
crossed by improvised bridges construct
ed from driftwood found along the shore
and other handy material. The going
was good and the slight change to
warmer weather had softened the sur
face of the Ice just enough to give the
tires a good grip on the roadway. with
the result that excellent time could have
been made had not the party been q
little timorous because of the somewhat
novel conditions.
