IF the Automobile club Of France should
ahariou it, attitude regarding the VAN
derhiIt cup and decide to conduct the 1907
contest IL j. Hkelv that America will have
an inter ,atioral race Of at least equal I'M
portsncp. Even il France should decide
not to take advantage OF Wagner's victory
last Saturday. Italy and Tma would
have IN reli1uulsh their right to conduct
the 1907 contest before next years race
could ne held ~ this country. In case the
cup contest were held in France. Italy or
Germany, the only contest assured for this
country would he the elimination trial TO
select the can cars to represent US

can ears only would satisfy the automobilistS
and sport loving public IN this country. ana

ton VIII he assured Of al annual race OF
elual II NOT more importance than the one
held on Long Island last Saturday. The
cup is TO he of handsome and elaborate de-
sign and will cost. II is said. about 5000.
