. New York. May 16.-The Dragon

tructor Of the two racing cars which

IN Race by this concern. He is
u Charles Kenen. a French designer

&Ith Clement and Brasier. He also
Gd construction work in this coun-
N for about three years and has
bne a great deal of special design
NJ for well-known manufacturing
bncerns. He is much interested in
&clng and was a prominent figure in

hs selected by the Dragon Company
Nd Of list of eighteen designers on
1rcount Of his ideas and thorough
naming and the fact that he has
Made a speciality OF racing cars from
De technical standpoint.
Mr. Kenen has been Mt work for
b months on the Dragon racers
nd is at present attending to the
esemblng OF the engines which he
|kpects TO complete about the 25th
y May. In the mean time the con-
rructlon OF frames and running gear
br the racers is being pushed for

by Mr.. Mills that the real situation
is that the company will build two
types next year instead of one. the
first being car similar to the pres
ent Dragon with a larger bore and
stroke. This has already been
worked out and car of this type
is running arond the streets of Phil
adelphia. The company will, how
ever put out a rather large car In
addition, and II is on enlargement
OF this new type which will be built
for the Vanderbilt race struggle.
The new racers arc quoted as 11O
H. P. but Mr.. Mills says that this
rating is used because "phonetically,
1t is a smooth running collection OF
words" As a matter of fact these
cars will (according to French
measurement), devslope almost 1876
II. P. at one thousand engine rev.
olutions per minute. The early
plans for the car were based on the
understanding that a similar course
to that of last year would be used
and therefore Mr.. Kenen was in
structed to design car which
woult take corners at a tremendous
speed. The cars were therefore
geared down to a maximum speed OF
11O miles an hour, and will take
hills like that at Manhassettt with
practically no diminishing of speed.
The fact that the Long Island Park
way will be ready in time for the
race might possibly have led the de-
signer to carry his cars to n high
speed but as one OF them is alread u
sold to a customer who. after the
race will use Il in the far West
among the mountains, II was decided
that a speed of practically two miles
a minute was fast enough.
Speaking OF the new racers Mr.
Kenen says:
"As the object OF the Vanderbilt
race, like all contest. Is TO give
experience in order
that they may improve their product,
II seems to me that II ia more rea.
sonable TO buhd a car that will at
all times be applicable TO all road
rather than n mechanical
freak which will be OF no value as
a future product.
81 have cut the wheel base OF the
car down TO 96 inches. and have also
given the car rather narrow tread.
This will make II very easy TO run.
The transmission is of the selective
sliding gear type. three speeds for
ward and reverse. geared respective
ly 10. 75 and 46 miles an hour.
Following the regular Dragon GUS
tom this car will have a relative low

probably be the last completed.
