Of this type.
An extraordinary demand for Autocar
runabout type XIV, 12-horsepower, has
come from the Pacific Coast, where the
Autocar dealers-the Middleton Motor Car
Company of San Francisco and Los An
geles-are busy taking orders for this pop
ular type of machine. A carload of cars
of this type were shipped to Frisco last
week and enough more orders have been
received to make another carload as soon
as the machines can be turned out from
the shops.
The month Of June was an e~ventful one
for the 40-horsepower stock touring car
Lozier No. 519. This car was placed in
commission May 2S as a demonstrating car,
and one. June 6, started In the 20S-mile en-
d~urance run of the New York Motor Gu

Hills. Several weeks Of rain and a steady
downpour during the day of the contest.
put the roads in a frightful condition. and
the contest was undoubtedly the severest
ever held under official rules on the road.
The Lozier car finished first In the touring
car class. winning the trophy. On the re-

On June 2S and 20 the car was entered In
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. track race of the
Quaker City Automobile Club, Philadei-
phia. There were eleven other competitors,
including three cars of 45, 80 and 6O-horsa-
power, but the Lozier car No. 59 won the
race In very nearly worlds record time.
Notwithstanding the fact that the last
eleven hours were run In a heavy down
pour of rain. necessitating the use OF tire
chains on all four wheels. For the first
half of the contest the time was ahead OF
the worlds record. 1t was only thu
weather conditions at the later end Of the
race that prevented beating the best COM
petition record. Car No. 519, therefore,, In
thirty days. won three cups, and achieved
n. mileage of 5000 miles, and is still on the
road in demonstration work.
