driving another Stearns, won the race.
There were seven starters. George Mack.
driving a 60-horsepower De Dietrich, went
to the front at the crack Of the pistol, and
soon had a substantial lead. At twelve
miles Mack threw his right front tire, and
retired to the paddock to put on a new one.
This gave Schilipp and Guy Vaughn,
both of whom were driving Stearns cars,
an opportunity 10 take the lead. These
two were see-sawing for first place, and
ON next to the last lap Schilipp attempted
TO pass Vaughn when the accident hap
pened.
The crowds of spectators were positive
that both men in the car had been killed.
Those who ran TO the scene of the acci-
dent could hardly believe their eyes when
the saw Schilipp and his mechanic crawl
ont from under the wrecked car, bruised
and shaken up. but otherwise unhurt.
George Sempie, driving a 90-horsepower
Packard, was second.
The afternoon was taken up in the run
ming OF the preliminaries. The worlds auto
record of 81 seconds fiat for n single mile
was equaled by George Robinson in a 20
horsepower Hotchkiss. One of the chief
events was a special three-lap race of Ford
%runabouts. 1t was won by Frank Dunnell
in s minutes and Z seconds. Gus Zitner
was second and Walter Livingston third.
There were five entrants.
A ten-mile contest over the Allen course

power American Mors car in % minutes

by Walter Goerke, with a two and a-half-
horsepower machine. He covered the dis
lance in 5 minutes and So econds. John
l.. SiddelL with Il one and three-quarter-

harmless bit of pleasantly until, during
their stay in Chicago, they were hunted
up by a theatrical manager who had read
about them and wanted to engage them to

When the Snowman asked about their act
he was told it was a mile a minute knock
about speciality; hat everyone who tried
to follow it got played out and mad, and
a stage a thousand miles square was
necessary for 1t. The manager concluded
he old not want the turn, but said he could
copy the costumes to advantage.

USE OF AUTOMOBILES
INCREASING IN EGYPT.
Most of Those There Now Are of French
and italian Manufacture,
However.

WASHINGTON. Sept 2s.-The use of
motor cars is rapidly increasing in Egypt,
says a consular report. but thus far those
imported have been chiefly Of French or
Italian manufacture. with an occasional
British-made one. Although an Alexan-
dfia automobiles can only drive his car
as far as San Stefano. a distance of some
six or seven miles, and the Cairene motor
lists are compelled TO limit their excursions
to the Pyramids and Heliopolls, the de-
mand Is. nevertheless. for hig~h-powered
cars of the finest workmanship and most
luxurious fittings. All the leading French
makes arr well represented in Egypt and
more ears are being steadily imported.
There seems to be no electric cars in the
country. but a market could certainly be
found fos them If their qualities OF noise
l~essness, understanding and easy man
agement could be properly demonstrated
There Is but one way to sell American
motor cars in Egypt. which it is doubt
ful If any American manufacturer would
be willing to adopt, that is, to establish
II show room either in Alexandria or
Cairo. or place the agency in the hands of
some responsible person who has suitable
premises. and then provide the agent with
half n dozen cars or so on consignment
which can always be ready for inspection
and trial, No importer, no matter how re-
liable he mny be. will put several thou
sands of dollars into American motor cars
on speculation. The manufacturer will
to find a representative i'm whom he
has confidence and then stock him with
ears. Moreover, no Oriental will buy from
a catalogue If he can help it, a fact which
French and italian manufacturers have
appreciated.
If eight or ten handsomely finished
American-built cars could be brought over
here in the autumn. placed on exhibition
and properly pushed. they could be sold
without the slightest difficulty. Two of
the chief American importers in Alexan-
dria coincide with me in this opinion. The
being paid at present for European
cars vary from 50. 600 to 5000.
