The San Francisco call., 1906-11-09

The automobile record between San
Francisco and Los Angeles was broken
again yesterday by Fernando Nelson
bia car. The time for the distance
was eighteen hours thirteen minutes.
This gives the Columbia car the record
by two hours fifty minutes and thirty
seconds.
The car left the city last Wednesday
night from the corner of Market and
Guerrero streets at exactly 10 o'clock.
AT the wheel was Al Hall and beside
him In the front seat was Ed IIimmel-
right. another of the crackerjack
drivers of the city. In the tonneau
was Ferdinand Nelson. who owns the
car and planned the trip. Beside Mr..
Nelson in the tonneau was Ralph Nc
Cord, an expert from the Diamond
Rubber Company. WHO went along to
act as doctor in case of tire trouble.
The car was off like shot out of a
gun at the signal and was not heard
of until yesterday morning. when
phone message was received from Hall
at San Ldis Obispo. At that place Hall
and Himmelright left the car, and their
places were taken by Bert Saunders
and Clarence He'll, who drove the rest
of the distance.
A very amusing incident happened at
this place, which cost fully forty min
utes in the record. When the stop
was made to take in gasoline and
change drivers. McCord a tenderfoot
at the game. it being the first time he
had been on a record breaking trip,
thought that there would be a stop
OF some time. and as the ride of all
night had put an edge on his appetite,
he hied himself off to an eating house
and laid in a supply of food. He did
this quietly and when the time came
for starting he was missing. They
waited and waited what seemed to be
years. when the missing McCord
finally put in appearance
The next heard of the car was when

arrived at that pleasure place by the
sea at 11:4S a. m. and in the following
six minutes had taken in gasoline and
was on its way for Los Angeles.
This was the worst part of the road
AS the party left Santa Barbara they
sent word back that they would be in
Los Angeles by D. m. They were
running on an eighteen hour schedule,
and it shows how closely they held to
the programme. for they were only

and Leuy Declare Off
SulLiuan Thomas Fight.
By r. A. Srr1ytf1.

The proposed twenty fight be-
tween Joe Thomas and Mike (Twin)
Sullivan was declared off last night and
with it the fight trust seems to have
vanished into thin air. The calling off
of the match was done by Graney and
Levy ostensibly on the ground that they
expected interference from their wicked
partners-Coffroth and Britt.
While Ithe match has been criticised
in certain quarters as being an unequal
one, owing to the wonderful class
shown by Thomas. in his recent fights
in the East, both Coffroth and Britt
said they had no intention at any time
of interfering with 1t. Both are friend
ly with Thomas and want to. see him
get a good match here.
Morris Levy, in explaining the action
regarding the match, said: II was au-
thorized to make match for this
month, and after looking over the field
decided this was the best one available.
Some time since l tried my best to
match Britt and Herman. but the for
mer did not want to fight at the time.
I telegraphed from Chicago repeatedly,
but was unable to bring the men to-
gether. Britt has expressed a willing
ness to meet Herman recently, but the
latter has signed with Cans for Tono-
pah. where they have been offered a

would be unreasonable to expect Her
man to cancel his engagement to fight
here, where he could not be guaranteed
any such amount. There was not a
wide choice of matches. so 1 made the
best one available I tried to COM
municate with the other members of
the trust by telephone, but was unable
to do So I do not want to go to all
the trouble involved In putting on a
fight and meet with opposition at every
turn.

to remain in the game can then go

The action last night was marked by
the same lack of harmony which has
characterized all the deliberations of
the promoters. While the action is ap-
parently that of the corporation formed
early in the year, there was not a ma
jority of the members present 1t is
known the other wing of the trust does
not approve of the action and will

Late last night Manager Coffroth said
he would like to put on Thomas with
Joe Walcott ii the, match could be
made. When approached on this sub
iect recently Thomas said that while he
felt he could defeat Walcott he would
prefer to meet couple of less formid-
able men before taking on the far
famed Barbados wonder. Whether
Thomas has undergone a change of
heart remains to be seen when the pro-
moters approach him on the subject of

 Favorable mention belongs to the membership committee, through whose zealous labors sixty new names have Eeen added to the roll of this cham ber, invigorating us with new blood and active minds.
 The special committee appointed to advocate the continuation of Crown and Humphrey streets across the New Ha- ven railroad cut has accomplished its work so far as getting past the board of aldermen, accepted by the mayor and board of finance, and deserves the highest praise and endorsement. This is a good work. well downe for all time, and it had to be done now.
 The new bridge about completed be- tween West Haven in the town of Or arge, and our city, is natural bond Nt1ich brings that community closer to us, and undoubtedly means that the time is near when the 1000 people of that excellent place will become a part of New Haven, strengthening us in population, extending our area and en- larging our wealth and resources, and whatever is a benefit to us is a. benefit to the people of West Haven-our in- kerests are identical.

It was remarkable for the democratic spirit which prevails among our membership and proves to us that a better feeling of brotherhood in this body has never been known in it's fllustrious history.
 REPORT OF HARBOR COMMITTEE To the Chamber of Commerce of New
 Haven:
 By direction of the Chamber, this committee has presented in its two last annual reports, statements of the i'm provements which are urgently needed in New Haven haroor and it's tributa- res. We also set forth some of the reasons why these improvements are needed.
 The only appropriation which was se- cured for New Haven in the last river and harbor act was for the improve ment of the West river, This is to con sist in dredging nine foot channel one hundred feet wide from the southwest erly corner of the sixteen foot anchor age basin, past Oyster Point and the dock frontage of West Haven, to Kim berly avenue bridge. For this purpose the sum of $SS50O was appropriated by the river and harbor act approved March 8, 1905. Although this has been available for somewhat more than a year, no dredging has yet been done on this channel A contract is, however, made and preparations have com menced for dredging, which we hope will be accomplished this spring.
 Among the improvements which this Chamber has for the past eight years
