the foreign road competitions.
The Salon notes that a Darrsoq car
recently won the hfty-mile derby az tile

record for stock cars, by making the

winning of the tweuty-four-hsur race
at Norris Fark track, New York. by

feather in the cap OF the importers who,
II is said, will go largely into track and
read races in the near future.

says ttat rnany Of the importers were
much disappointed at the failure to Sc
