OF AUTO RACES
Frenchman Failed to Get New

Auto Gossip.

William H. Vanderbilt. 5Jr., is not granting
any interviews to reporters these days. He
is busy with railroad affairs. He has said to
friends, however, that he is not about to re-
enter the antomobile-racing game, despite all
reports to the contrary. 1t can be said on the
very best of authority that Mr.. Vanderbilt has
two years. and that if he is at the races on the
Ormond beach, Florida. in January he will be
there merely as spectator.
That New York and Chicago record, repre-
senting it does the time that it Is possible
to make by automobile between the metropolis

too much for him. and the record OF ffty-eight

account of the lateness of the season 1t is doubt
