GOOD AUTOMOBILE RECORD.
300 Miles Without a Single Pune
fNre

Twenty-three hundred miles in an au-
tomobile without a single puncture is a
pretty good record. When you add to
that the fact that most of the trip was
through country where an automobile
has never been seen before and that it
took in a new and interesting mining
country the prospect is that it was a
pretty good summer outing. That Is the
sort of trip into the wilds of central
Canada that was recently finished by
Capt. A. F. Lucas of this city, we'll known
among large circle of friends as an ex-
pert mining engineer and incidentally an
enthusiastic automobilist.
The journey was partly for pleasure and
partly for business Capt. Lucas took his
family and a chauffeur in a big touring
car and started northward in July. 1t was
not to be a scorching trip, for, while he
likes touring, the captain has a contempt
for speed records, and the object was to
fish, camp If necessary and see the coun-
try:
ana the party travelled northward at the
rate Of about 100 miles q day-very slow
for al, automobile tour. They went
through New York state and by way of
they took in the falls, and thence across
into Canada. AS far Montreal there
are an abundance of automobiles and au-
tomobile clubs and the roads are toler-
uplc. ne TOduS are lar cNCl do ldI ND
Georgian bay where the first stop of i'm
Portance was made. Here there was good
bass and other fishing, but. like most
fishing, there was the rumor Of better
sport little farther on. and the party
went on to Pennetang and thence upward
into the cobalt country, which was the
ultimate objective of the trip. The CO.
bait region is about 400 miles north and
west of Georgian bay, through a beauti-
full rolling country, where the formation
is the old Huronian rocks that make very
good roads where there has been any
trouble taken by man to utilize the ma
tural material.
1t was in this region that automobiles
proved practically unknown. Some of the
horses were Indifferent to the horselcss
carriage but the most of them shared
the opinion of their drivers that auto
mobiles were an invention of the devil
and acted accordingly. The party had to
be careful with all of the teams met,
though as a matter of fact the people
were about as afraid of automobiles as
the horses. There was one case where a
very fat and much-excited old lady rolled
out of a buggy and did war lance oil
the side Of the road, while Capt. Lucas
had to rush forward and hold the horse,
which he did, soothing 1t and exercising
every care that would suggest itself to
an expert horseman with -trOtter that
was suddenly brought face to face with
the unexpected. The automobile WAS
brought slowly past, and then. after mu-
tual explanations, 1t developed that it
was the old lady alone who was scared,
while the horse happened to be both
blind and deaf.
