will remain in the possession Of the club and will be engraved with the names of the 15 holders, to each or whom a certificate will be awarded.
 Three prizes were awarded yes- terday for the cars making the smallest consumption of gasolene, the Courant cup for cars costing more than $3 900, the Times cup for cars costing from $1,501 to $3,0O0 and the club cup for cars costing $1,500 or less.
 The Courant cup was won by No 5, Stevens Duryea six-cylinder, 3O.. horse power car driven by Robinson of Chicopee Falls, Mass, and en- tered by the factory, the car con suming II gallons and 2 quarts of gasolene. The Times cup was won by No Az, Knox four-cylinder, 30'' horse power, entered by the Knox Motor Car company, the consump- tion being eight gallons and two quarts, the best showing in any class. The club cup was won by No 4, Ford, four-cylinder, 18-horse power, driven by Louis H. Elmer and owned by the Elmer Automobile company, which consumed nine gal Ions and three quarts.
 The G. K. Dustin trophy was won by the Maxwell two-cylinder, IA horse power car driven by J. M. Mac donald and entered by R. D. & c. O. Britton, and this was really the big win of the day. As stated by the committee in it's instructions to observers, the Dustin trophy would be the one most priZed of all and, as brought out by Chairman H. P. Maxim in short address to the ob- servers before the voting on the | trophy, perfect score might not by any means mean perfect car, cit | ing the cases in which superior cars had been penalized for some fault of the driver and in which perfect score cars had come in in a broken | condition. Fifty-two observers met in the Allyn house dining room al | 8 o'clock Saturday night to vote for | the car to be given this, the coveted | trophy. Chairman Maxim made a short address in which he said that in the voting, the observers should base their judgments entirely on | their experiences of the day, having l the right, however, to judge by see | ing the work of car as we'll as rid 1 ing in it. Hearsay and reputation were to be ignored MT Maxim i'm. 1 pressed upon the observers the value of their decision, and said that they must take everything into consider ation, including the price of car | the idea being that consistent work" might mean the ability of a | car to do the mos for its supposed 1 value. The observers were evi dently very interested in the con test and asked number of ques' tions. The members voted by roll call, and, after the counting, the chairman announced that the Max we'll had eight votes, the Pope Hartford, owned by T F. Garvan had six, the Thomas Detroit, owned by the Palace Automobile station had five, the Locomobile an1 the Thomas Flyer four each.
