AUTOMOBILING.

Now that the Automobile Club of France has
decided not TO hold the Vanderbilt Cup race and
the announcement is made that it will be run
in this country, IT is hoped that every effort
will be bent to the building of an automobile
speedway at Pennington, \. J., or some other
place Robert Lee MorreH has said that he is
unalterably opposed TO holding the race on Long
Island again and that he favors Massachusetts,
and Mr.. Morrells views viii carry great weight
in making a final decision 1t would be a pity
to have the big road race held anywhere except
within easy travelling distance OF the metro
politan district, and, as a matter Of fact, the
opposition will be strong against sending it
TO Boston that Mr.. Morrell is quite likely to be
overruled. Road racing is dangerous not only
TO the drivers, but 10 the crowds which line the
course. Mr. Morrell and almost all prominent
autemobilists in sympathy with the resOu
ton of the American Automobile Association
which declared III favor Of inclosed speedways
for road racing. It is pointed out that a speed
way of this kind would be paying investment,
particularly track racing has been practically
abandoned. Some subscriptions have been made
looking to the building of such a speedway.
What is to prevent, then the promotion and COM
pletiOn Of such an enterprise before the next
Vanderbilt Cup race rolls around? 1t may be
big undertaking. but IT seems as If there were
enough men interested in the sport and the
industry. for that matter, to take IT up and make
IL a success. II William K. Vanderbilt, jr., Rob
ert Lee Morrell and others vitality interested in
the race would devote their energies to the
building of a speedway and lose no more time
in trying to secure the cooperation Of any set
Of persons in some particular locality for the
use Of the highways. they would do q great good
TO the sport and silence forever the Justifabe
opposition and antagonism which now besets
the tests Of extreme speed on the public roads.
