WANTS AN AUTO TRACK HERE
National Organization Sends Agent
to Washington.
Looks Over Ground and viii Re-
turn-Thinks Capital Ideal LO-
cation for Such a Course.

Van Buren, Reeves, representing the
Automobile Club of America, with head
quarters in New York. was in Washing
ton yesterday for several hours, looking
into the possibility OF securing tract
OF land near the city 10 establish a race
course on which to hold cup races and
other contests in which the club is in
terested.
Mr.. Reeves said that the club had de-
termined 70 locate in some city sOutli OF
New York where suitable facilities could
be found. He said the recent races on
the Long Island course had been unsatis-
factory. and that the conclusion had been
reached that it would be better to find q
location where the crowds would not b.
so great and where the course would. be
better suited to automobile racing.
Mr.. Reeves called upon two or three
real estate agents and looked over the
holdings they had to offer. At the office
Of Wilige. Gibbs & Daniel. he was shown
the tract of eighteen acres on the Ben
ming road near the point where ihe
Pennsylvania railroad crosses The shape
of the tract. which Is oblong. Seem
ed to strike Mr. Reeves favorably, and
he made an appointment with The firm tC
lcok it over on his return this afternoon
or tomorrow.
Mr.. Reeves was also shown the Guide
tract In Anacostia, which could be reach
ed by the Anacostia railroad line. and
which lies in many respects favorable to
the enterprise. one or two other tracts
were taken into brief consideration. all
OF which viii be carefully looked over
before any decision is reached. Mr.. Reeves
said II was impossible for the club 70
find location that would be large
enough for "a track. grand-stand and 9TH
CT appuTtendnCcs OF d race course. He
said it was not desired to have Ions
track. as one with several windings and
sharp turns. he thought. would be prefer
able. The only point was 10 find a level
tract that would work 10 advantage in
building the course
When Mr.. Reeves comes back he will GO
into the question of site for the club
exhaustively. He said the club felt in
clined 10 come to Washington for sew
eraI reasons. One was the mild climate
which would allow Of racing during the
greater part Of the year. Another was
that it is the Capital of the nation. and
the home OF great number OF person:
interested in automobile racing. He also
thought the society Of the Capital would
be favorable TO the proposition. and that
the sporting element would not be averse
