AFTER ROADS FOR RACE
Efforts to Get Course an WeStcheste'
COunty for AUTO Contest.

Tho auton,obile manufacturers committee Is
making an effort to secure the use of the roaos
in 11pper Westchester County for the stoch cai
race to be held next April. John j. S1nnotI su-
nervisor of the town of Mount Pleasant, mas the
r.atter in hand for the automobile manu1acl-
urers. and Is endeavoring to get the authorizes
of the various towns and villages through WHICH
the race would to be run to set ASIDE the speeu
laws for one day.
The uroposed route covers forty-two miles and
extends from Briarcliff Manor to Pines Bridge
thence across to Mount Kisco and so on to Bed
ford Bedford Station and Bedford village.
whence it follows the old state road to Armonk
to Valhaa, to Eastview, and back to BrlarcIit
Manor
The race will be restricted to cars that are
carried in stock by the various manufacturers
excluding all cars Of more than 90 horsepower.
The promoters of the contest are Wiling TO put
the roads in condition before the race, under
the supervision of Eberhardt J. Wulff, County
Engineer and to furnish insurance to the
amount of 100000 against any damage TO per-
sons or property.
The entrance fee will be $1,000 machine, and
any surplus above the expenses will be refunded
The principal difficulty In securing the West
chester County roads lies In the attitude OF
some of the farmers and townspeople. Some OF
the towns have had reason to carry on a vigor-
Gus crusade against speeding, and their super
ViSors fear that such a race would undo much
that has been accomplished. There is also some
objection to surrendering the roads for day.
Walter W. Law. who lives at Briarclif
Manor. expressed himself in favor of such a
race last night and said that he awaited with
interest the development of the plans. 1t is
believed that if Mr.. SnnOtt is successful in his
efforts to get the of the roads Mr. Law
will offer a cup to the winner.
