NEW AUTO RECORDS
WILL BE MADE

Preparations for the fifth annual record
oeet on the ormond Beach. Florida, are
now under way. and judging from the
comments among many sutomobilists,
there Is but one opinion as TO the record
breaking possibilities on the worlds ia
nous beach in January
il is no walmost positive fact that
great long race will be added to the pro-
gram. and that soO-mile event open to
the world. That will mean that the beach
st the conclusion OF the race. Will hold
additional records from 100 10 300 miles.
as there is no course anything like as fast
as the Florida beach. One afternoon will
be devoted TO the big race, as the tide Will
only allow time for that distance. n Is
expected that the time will be ono hour
faster than that made In the Vanderbilt
cup race, where the distance was %;
miles, and will prove interesting.
