~@NA~ ~~Ah
New YorkI
have Jest Isft the hospital, where
haVe been laid up for three weeks as a
result OF the accident TO the Weleh Car
ON the evening Of March II during the run
from New York to Boston. The motorman
who ran the trolley car into Us while we
were stuck In big snow bank near MarI
borough, Mass, throwing me out and
tnJuring my knee cap. permanently, I
fear, 10 still making his periodical trip I'm
conscious OF the ruin created by his care
lessness.
|. The detention In hospital has prevented
me from taking any part In the open
discussion about the run Tn the Weleh
and the one made three days later by
Mr.. Kelsey In hts Ms.heson. Hts pub
Ilshed "adventures' during his run made
me smile frequently In the perusal, and
no doubt the motor world has been chuck
ling over his peculiar narrative and the
startling admissions he las made. From
the "Hurrah' style OF the introduction
and the Hippodrome display Of same,
one would think that the subtle pen OF
Tody Hamilton, OF circus fame. had been
employed to write the remarkable story
Of that wild ride TO Boston," which
Kelsey asserts was not a "so-eaIled race"
bot merely the run Of an enthusiastic
amateur.
While one Is led to expect from the
beginning that Mr.. KelseYs adventures
on that occasion included the seeing Of
snakes, capture Of elephants and personal
conflicts with lions and tigers. find It
very tame indeed as the story progresses,
~ . az. FsAgsG II NsS,,soNa1 80 awEIa4-,
"Out Of the mountain comes a mouseV' Mr..
Is not "raeY" enough to Justify the belief
that ne wrote the article to which his
signature Is attached.
One cannot help entertaining a sus-
pieion that the story was written In the
Matheson garage, for Mr.. Kelsey has the
reputation Of being both humorous and
brilliant. whereas the story Of his adven-
tures Is neither funny nor bright. In
fact, there are spots In which II Is tragi-
eally dull. Mr.. Kelsey claims that he made
ths trip In It13 hours, and am sure
nobody cares to disbelieve him. But
what Of ite The Welch Car, IN spite OF
al1 obstacles and accidents, beat his In
actual runninS time BY SEVERAL
HOURS. As an instance, Mr.. Kelsey
admits that II to.k him 8 hours to run
from New Haven to Worcester. distance
Of 100 miles. Fifteen miles an hour Is
the pace the farmers run their wheelbar-
rows at In that locality. II took the Weleh
Car Az hours TO cover that same distance
and with the roads In far wor5. condition.
In fact, Mr.. Kelsey had the advantage
Of three days thaw to help melt the snow
and clear the roads.
Surely Mr.. Kelsey was not brcakfasting
