RACES CLOSE
WITH ACCIDENT.

WITH ACCIDENT.
Stanley Steamer, Which Held the
Worlds Record For One Mile,
Broken Into 10, 900 Pieces.
Yesterday, just as the fifth annual
tournament on the Ormond-Daytona
beach was drawing to a close, Fred II.
Marriott in the Stanley Steamer which
held the worlds record for one mile was
making last effort to lower the record,
when serious accident occurred. Mar
riott had just passed the starters stand
when the freak racer struck ridge on
the beach and leaped into the air, land
ing on two wheels. The car turned over
and over, the safety plug in the boiler
blew out and the car was smashed into
fragments. Marriott lay bleeding in the
wreckage. He was picked up and hur-
ried to physicians who dressed his
wounds. From latest reports, he will
survive, although seriously injured
THE MEET.
In many respects the tournament has
been great disappointment to its pro-
motors in the accomplishment of speed
resultsas we'll as 4 lack of entries and a
spirit of rivalry to make these contests
as notable as they have been on all for
mer occasions. Very few records have
been made, due to the small num-
Der of racers that were here. The man
ufacturers of gasoline cars seem to have
boycotted the meet for the reason that
the Stanley steamers are allowed to par
ticipate. It is probable, however, that
the rules will be changed so rs to keep
these steamers in Il class to themselves

Monday there were no time trials, the
