Some days ago we addressed a
challenge to the owners of the
American Mercedes and Rolls
Royce cars-which were GOWN
ners with the WEIGH Car at the
recent Ormond Beach Races
offering to make an endurance run
with both cars from here to
Boston, on equal terms, each
contestant to put up $4,000, and
the victor to donate his winnings

conclude that they declined to

unaccepted, although we left it

demonstrate what we believe TO
be the fact-that the WEIGH Tour
