NERVOUS Strain Tells on Drivers.
QUEBEC, July 2i.-This was q day OF glad
ness for the Automobiles In the tour OF the
American Automobile Association. including
those who are competing for the Glidden
trophy. The run was one OF ninety-eight
miles from Trols Rlvieres to Quebec, It was
over rough dirt roads. three-fourths OF the
way, with a number of terrible bumps over
~oulyerts and washouts. Having traversed
q similar surface the day before, however. the
motorists knew how to make the best OF It and
be pleasant There were q couple OF stin HILLS
on the route and some sandy spots ana ootn
were the cause Of several cars being stalled
for q time. Eventually all got over them and
arrived at this truly French and historic city.
There were few accidents Of the sort that
really cripple cars and excepting Tor one car
there are as many OF the competitors having
clean scores tonight as had them last Night
the two days from Montreal being very similar.
Two cars had their springs broken to-day and
one OF them was the 10 horsepower Maxwell
of J. G. Kirkland, New York. who until to-day
had q perfect score. The delay caused py
this mishap was just enough to make MIN q
few seconds late at one OF the checking sta
tions and spoiled his record. The layover OF
two days here will probably enable him to get
new springs by Tuesday and 60 on as there 10
no reason for his dropping out because Oh
being q few points behind. .
The list of perfect ones Ia diminishing
steadily, and perhaps by the time Breton
Woods Ia reached no one will have q per-
feet score. although the changes of the COM
mjttee's figures were SO bewilderlng FOR a
while hat It seemed as II all would be &C
credited with perfectness before the end
II Ia said that ahead OF the tourists are some
roads much worse than those they have
travelled, and that means the limit.

no objection whatever TO speed. and the very
vehicles met on the road gave way, while the
drivers lifted their hats. In. several places
the road showed evidencN OF having been re-
paired for the day and at various dangerous
spots volunteers stood and warned the motor
lists. To the Americans it was a most astound-
ing reception.
