New York, Feb. 15.-With the Cuban road
race matter Of history, the automobile speed
enthusiasts will have a wait for several months
before the next event of the kind is decided
From present indications there will be but two
big contests this year. These will be the French
Grand Prfx and the Vanderbilt cup race the
first OF which is scheduled to be run over the
Sarthe circuit probably late in June. The Van
derbilt, race Is scheduled for October, but its
location is matter Of doubt.
When big road is to be run in France
every section of the country tries to secure 1t,
to help the Automobile Club of France to defray
expenses and much lobbying is done in Paris
because of the advantages accruing to the Sec
ton where the race is to be run. It is different
in this country. Here the promoters Of the last
two races have been treated as lot of road
grabbers who would prevent honest farmers US
Ing the highways to get to market, who would
race for hours at top speed with entire disregard
for the lives Of themselves and spectators, and
In general ride roughshod over the rights of the
people. r.: 49, =
The Auto Club Of America has Just awakened
to the fact that the Vanderbilt road race is a
veritable gold mine for the section in which it is
rum The time has passed when The inhabitants
of Long Island will be begged to allow the con-
test to take place on certain roads Last fall
the farmers along the route were able to rent
out parking spaces for more money than their
fields were worth. The hotels and farmhouses
realized more money by letting out their rooms
for one night than would rent an ordinary city
fat for MONTH.
!! Hereafter the Inhabitants Of Long Island, If
they desire this privilege, will have to be mtxe
, conciliatory. The racing board Of the a. A. A.
| Is already considering the transfer of the Van
derb1lt cup race to Massachusetts where the
boon will be appreciated and where equally good
Or better roads can be found. It refuses any
longer to be Inundated by having to conduct the
Vanderbilt race under injunction, and will drop
Long Island unless there is quick change Of

BILLINGS DROPPED /

Governors Did Not Like His Att

: Matter.
Journal Special Service,

Journal Special Service.
New York, Feb. 15.--C. 9. K. Billings was
dropped yesterday from the board of review of
the National Trottins association. On the sur
face of things he resigned, but persons on the
inside declared that he forced out because
the association resented the part he took in the
case against e. E. Smathers.
Mr.. Billings resignation was accepted without
delay, tho he was made the subject of a lauda-
tory resolution. 1t said, however, that this
resolution adopted merely because Billings
friends wished to conceal the washing of dirty
linen. The board felt that Mr.. Billings should
have the Major Delmar matter brought before 1t
for invest1ga ton and thus prevented the scandal
from being aired in the courts. ..
4 Since the gold cup was replevined from Mr..
Sma theirs developments came thick, and fast in
the big turf scandal. Affdavits had been pre-
scented to the court alleging that" Mr.. Billings
mare, Lou Dillon was drugged Just before the
great at Memphis, when Major Delmar Won
the trophy, and that Mr.. -Smathers had hired
Howard Sanders brother of Willard Sanders,
trainer for Dillon, to administer the alleged
drug.
Thruout the entire matter Mr.. Billings has
refused to deny or affirm the charge made by
Mr.. Smathers that he was the moving spirit In
the prosecution.
| Mr.. SmAthers appealed to the board of re-
views to investigate the charges SO that he
would not be compelled to remain under sus.
picion until the settled by the courts.
| Major johnson, president of the board of re-
views, says that the matter will be ventilated at
| the next meeting, which takes place in May.

Lou Dillon had an attack Of 'thumps.' I went
to the stall, and Howe, who was the personal

The adoption Of the recommendations of the

been snapped up by Michigan is interpreted here,
in view of the present situation, meaning that
