NEW YORK April 2o.-The return Of
William X Vanderbilt. Jr., from four
months trip abroad will probably lead
to some interesting announcements with

racing board OF the American Automo-

Vanderbilt, and a conference with him.
Enough plans of tentative nature have
been made. or at least proposed, TO In
dicate that the ensuing season will be
a red letter one In so far as automobile

races seem reasonably sure, while
fourth Is more than probable. The Van

first week In August. He will. therefore,
not leave until about August 10. just
reaching England in time to compete in
the furlong race, and he intends to re-
turn directly after the hundred-yard
event. If the American distance men
progress as rapidly as they have been
doing there will probably be some one
else by the summer OF 1908 to make a
strong bid for international honors in the
distance events.
An interesting set of match races has
been arranged for Daniels In connection
with tho Sportsmen's Show to be held In

A. Snively has resigned the rectorship
of St. Chrysostom Episcopal church,

His church is one of the most fashion

customed, according to Mr.. Snively;

Instead of giving to the building

to complete the structure, they in

to me, to the American. You hand the
