NOT FOR JERSEY
VANDERBILT RACE WON'T
BE RUN HERE.
General Feeling Is That Big Auto Con-
test Will Not Be Held
Until 1908.

Until 1908.
1t is practically m assured fact that thu
Vanderbilt cup race will not be run II
New Jersey or any other State this year
The fact that the automobile speedway Oh
Long Island will be ready for use mex
year causes many automobile authorities
to believe that 1t is the intention Of thu
Observation-Disclosures party to open thal
roadway with the Vanderbilt cup race IL
1903. It is next to impossible to get {
European representation for this year
race. and the apparent neglect or apathy
in securing entries or in awakening the In
terest Of automobilists in the project of g
race for 1907 Is almost an indirect admis-
sion that no race for the Vanderbilt tro-
ply will be held.
A local newspaper that pretends to be
the mouthpIece for tens of thousands OF
residents Of the northern part of the State
of New Jersey has been wasting a lot OF
energy in discussing The advisability OF
holding the Vanderbilt cup race in New
Jersey. The claim is made by this repre-
sentative of the opinions Of a majority OF
the sane and cultured residents of the up
per tier Of counties" of this State that
hundreds of people would be killed or
manned by the contestants in his race,
and for many other reasons suggested by
this opponent of automoblling in general,
the holding Of the Vanderbilt cup race In
New Jersey is not wanted at any price
or under any conditions. There are in the
neighborhood of 5000 owners of automo-
biles in the State of New Jersey, and prob
ably ten times as mai others who are
interested in automobiling (all of whom
would undoubtedly own speedy motor cars
IL they could afford it, who would like to
see New Jersey secure the Vanderbilt cup
race for 1907 and every year thereafter

the Matheson, who was badly hurt some
time ago near Long Branch, Is not likely
to be active in the automobile game for
the next two months. The injury to his
knee-eap, which was split in two, will re-
quire the use of a plaster cast, which Will
probably be applied next week and which
he will be compelled to wear for at least
one month.
