MOTOR BOAT RACES.
Next Week Promises to Be Greatest One
in Clubs History.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The greatest
event that has ever taken place in this
country in the motor boat sport will be the
race week of the Motor Boat Club of Amer
lea, commencing Monday. With the APP
parent lack of interest that has seemed to
prevail in this sport this season, 1t APP
peared as though the season would close
with but few entries In the leading events,
which have heretofore been large, and
those interested deeply in the motor boat
sport have looked forward anxiously to
the race week of the Motor Boat Club of
America in hopes that they might at least
hold as successful a meeting as they did
at their last years race week, and these
hopes have not been in vain, for the race
meet of that club this year excels. in the
way of entries, those made last year, with
every prospect Of the greatest motor boat
meet that has ever occurred in this coun-
try. Over forty-nine entries have been
received, many of whom have entered in
one or more races.
The race week of the Motor Boat Club of
America is an event that is looked for
ward to as the only one in which the
championships for the various classes of
racing boats, as well as the cruising boats,
for the year are decided, and, embracing
every form of motor boat racing, 1t is the
be secured in the way of records as a
comparison with boats of foreign coun-
only one in which anything definite can

AUTO PERFORMS NEW FEAT.
Reaches Grounds Of the Adirondack
League Club.

There are few places today which have
not been reached by automobiles. One OF
these was comparatively near New York.
Recently r.. d. Garden, Of New York, sent
ia Pierce Great Arrow to accomplish that
which had hitherto been deemed impossi-
Bile. The Great Arrow accomplished the
result and was first to ascend the twenty
miles Of roadway extending from Forest
port to the grounds of the Adirondack
League Club on Honnedaga Lake. For
estport is 100 miles from Troy, N. Y, and
that 100 miles is made easily. But the
twenty miles from that point had been
considered impossible until the Pierce ac-
complished the feat, not only once, but
several times, going up in / hour 81 min
utes and down in l hour u minutes.
The roadway for five miles of the dis
lance is hard-packed sand, but fifteen
miles of 1t if NJ roadway at all, but a
climb over great rocks of immense size.
| The 300 members Oh the club. a majority
of them motorists, nave made efforts to
climb the rock-strewn road, but have
failed. 1t is now not at all improbable
that. although the work of Messrs. Garden
4 and Slusser and their clever driver, John
Williams, the Pierce will be adopted by
the club as a stage from the station and
also a carrier of the mail hitherto carried
by wagon.
MI. williams. driver of the Pierce. says
that no one can appreciate the rigors Of
: the journey unless the trip Il made.

HARRISON NOMINATED
TO OPPOSE SHlNN.
Popular Lakewood Druggist Selected by
Democrats to Lead Fight in
Ocean County,

TOMS RIVER, Sept. 21.-That the
Democratic party expects to take adj
vantage of the apparent split in the
Republican party of Ocean County is
made evident by the nomination Of
William ]. Harrison, the popular drug
gist of Lakewood. their strongest can
didate, for Senator, at the convention
which met this morning.
The forced denomination of George
L.. Shinn for Senator by the Republic
cans has caused a split in the ranks
of that party which, according to the
sentiment of the voters, is going to
lose the Republican ticket many votes.
Before the Republican County con
vention met a week ago Assembiyman
TAYLOR, of Lakewood, claimed that he
had won the nomination by eight votes,
but when the test came Shinn had a
majority of one. 1t is claimed by the
Taylor men. and charges are made,
hat their delegates were bought.
The voting power Of the county lies
at Lakewood and in the shore resorts,
in which the popular sentiment Is
against Shinn. If Harrison succeeds in
being elected he will be the first Dem
ocratic Senator from here since the
| early SOS, when Ephraim P. Emerson,
of New Egypt, served one term.

DEFENDS AMERICAN

Secretary Elliott Replies to
Criticisms Against Govern
ment Of National Body.

officials of the American Automobile As
soeiation are coming forward in defense oil
the association and its methods of manage
ment. Secretary Frederick II. Elliott, in
reply to the numerous criticisms which
have been given publicity of late. said yes
terday; AT the annual meeting Of the ds-
ISOLATION, held in January last. the by
laws were amended and revised providing
for the future management of the a%ssocia-
ton as desired by the clubs and State as
sociations which comprise the management.
The clubs which are members of the six
teen State associations affiliated with the
A. A. A. nominate their representative IN
the board of directors of their respective
associations. The board of directors~of the
State associations nominate one director
for every 500 member in the State body
to represent the State organization In the
national board of directors. The national
board of directors are therefore represent
tative of every State and elect the direc-
tors from the clubs which are unfedernted
or not In the State associations. The di-
rectors of the national body elect the exec
utive committee, and the executive COM
mittee elects the officers"
A. G. Batchelder, formerly secretary OF
the A. A. A., says: II don't see how you
can evolve any better form of government
than to ave every club represented in the
meetings of the State association to which
it belongs, and then have these State as

FINE DISPLAY
OF CARS AT
N. Y. SHOW
Exhibition on October 24-Sl
will Illustrate Progress
in Auto Industry.

The wonderful progress of the American
motor car industry will be well Illustrated
at the coming show of the Automobile
Club of America, which will be held at the
Grand Central Palace during the week OF
October "a to 81. Out of the 246 exhibitors
In the show, no less than seventy will dis
play complete motor cars, representing some
of the best known machines manufactured
in America.
While the decorations and color scheme
will, as usual, form simply a frame to
throw into relief the cars themselves,
which, of course. is the real object Of the
show, they will be sufficiently striking and
novel to attract attention from those who
love the beautiful. Recognizing the fact
that the motor car is an outdoor vehicle,
the show committee has not only gone to
nature for its effects, but has also taken
into consideration the season Of the year
In which the show is held. With this idea
in view, an effort viii be made to create
an outdoor atmosphere, combined with an
autumnal woodland effect. This Is to be
brought about by the liberal use of natural
autumn boughs and leaves. which will be.
banked up against the columns, panels and
balconies, and will form a beautiful and
suitable background for the cars, whose
varied shades are expected to blend har-
moniously with natures coloring in the
| leaves

ALCOHOL AS FUEL FOR
AUTOMOBILES ALL RIGHT,
Tests Made by Experts Show That IT Is
a Good Thing and Can Replace
Gasoline.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-As a result
of experiments conducted by Charles r.
Lucke, assistant professor OF mecnahi-
cal engineering at Columbia UniVer-
sity, New York, and s. M. woodward
irrigation engineer of the ONCE OF ex-
pertinent stations of the Department OF
Agriculture, the conclusion has been
reached that alcohol can be used as a
fuel in internal combustion engines
with the same degree OF success as
when gasolene and kerosene fuels are
employed. The experiments have been
conducted for the last several months
to determine the question.
The experiments were made In New
York, chiefly in the laboratories of CO.
|lumbia University. The principal con-
illusions reached as a result OF THESE
experiments were.
Any gasolene engine of the ordinary
type can be run on alcohol without ma
terial change in the construction OF the
engine. When run on alcohol fuel, It's
operation is more noiseless than When
run on gasolene, its maximum power is
usually materially higher than IL Is on
gasolene, and there Is no danger OF
any Injurious hammering with alcohol,
| such as may occur with gasolene.
For automobile a~ir-cooled engines
alcohol seems to be especlally
| engine cylinder may rise much higher
before auto-ignition takes place than is
| possible with gasolene fuel, and. III
au~to-ignition of the alcohol fuel does
occur no injurious hammering can re-
suit.
The consumption of fuel in pounds
per brake whether the fuel
is alcohol or gasolene, depends chiefly
upon the horsepower at which the en-
CINE is being run and, upon the settins
of the fuel supply valve.
The experiments also showed that the
fuel consumption was affected by, the
time of ignition, by the speed and py
charge.
