GnEENPoRT. n. Y, May sO.-By the result
Of the first day Of the Long Island Automobile
Clubs endurance run which ended here
tonight 4 conspicuous stride has been made
to-day toward bringing Long Island TO the
fore as Il satisfactory territory for touring
contests. This ia plain from the
OF the contestants here, TO whom the mixture
~ hne and vile roads, the hills and scenic
spfendors of the north shore were unknown.
All the testing conditions found on a long
tour are really at hand on this insulRr strip
Of land and only proper rules for them are
needed to make II a field for any sort OF compe-
tItlon. This far the 1907 run of the Long Island
Automobile club has proved to be the best
managed affair ever conducted. The starting
and checking were efficiently done and the
route placarded with club guide cards In
most commendable fashion. This, with ideal
weather conditions and no great grievance
as TO roads, made an suspicious first day.
II was thought that n rather strenuous
schedule had been prepared. but all except
ing one. of the cars finished here tonight
far ahead of time, and there are 30 many
perfect scores that O tie Is likely at the finish
between the contestants for the cups. Twenty
cars started from the house OF the Long
Island Club this morning and nineteen checked
in here before 5 o'clock this afternoon after
a run of 1Ss miles. The other car dropped
out before noon.
The first car was started AZ 707 this morn
ing and the others at three minute intervals.
