MAXWELL BRLSCOE
CHALLENGE WORLD
viii Enter 180-Horse Power Machine
in ormond Beach Races in
Endeavor to Win the
Championship

Benjamin Briscoe and J. d. Maxwell.
IN spite of the apparent unwillingness
of the Automobile Club of America to
include in its Ormond beach events the
one-mile race for the Sir Thomas De-
war international trophy under the
conditions set forth in the original deed
of gift, are determined to pit their big
twelve-cylinder 1S0-horse power racing
machine against the present holder of
the worlds record.
The first challenge of the Maxwell
Briscoe people was issued through the
Automobile Club of America, and as
the challenge has remained without
acceptance Messrs. Maxwell and Bris-
coe have addressed a formal challenge
to the Stanley Motor Carriage COM
pany, who hold the trophy for a one
mile race, straightaway course, flying
start. No definite date is set for the
race, although the challengers suggest
that the contest be held either during
the coming Ormond- Daytona meet or
Immediately after it.
Even If the Stanley people should
not accept the challenge 1t seems rea-
sonably certain that the big Maxwell
will race in some modified contest, since
it's owners are. sure that they have the
fastest thing on wheels, and are look
ing for a chance to demonstrate the
speed of their gasoline car against that
of the steam car. There is no doubt
that the contest will attract wide at
tention among motorists, because to
win the coveted trophy a speed of two
miles a minute or better must be at
fqined

PUBLICITY AGENT HAS
GOOD LINE FOR THOMAS
Wakes Enthusiastic Over Merits of
Town Car, Which Allows Poor
Man Luxury of Auto
Ride

IF there were any of the old doubters
left in this city who never believed in
the mastery of the horse by the auto
mobile, such of them as have seen the
new Thomas Town car have been COM
pletely converted to the idea that gaso-
line is Aing," says the publicity man of
the Pioneer Automobile company of San
Francisco the Thomas agent.
Imagine a landaulet body set close
to the ground on business like wheels
with a tiny bonnet which contains an
engine that can be carried under one
arm; luxurious in the extreme, easy
riding, so simple that a skilled driver
is no consideration, and yet with so
much power in the little engine that
the two hills on Golden Gate avenue are
easily negotiated on the direct drive
pulling seven passengers; a masterpiece
Of design and simplicity combined and
weighing under 1000 pounds; and you
have a faint idea of the little car that
has sounded the death knell of the cab
horse in every large city in the world.
The dream of the poor man has been
realized, for he will soon be able to
ride home from the theater in a real
automobile, and 1t may cost him as
much as SO cents"

Gcarless Makes Path
The Gearless Transmission company
of New York sent two of their cars
ahead of the racers to break road
through the snow for a considerable
distance from New York, and in many
places the passengers and drivers had
to get out and resort to shoveling be"
fore they could get through themselves.
The cars are not routed to come
through Los Angeles, Saugus being the
nearest point to this city that they
will pass through. From Saugus they
will go to Ventura and take the coast
route to San Francisco. After the
drivers have bucked snow for a few
weeks the climate of Southern Cali
fornia ought to appeal to them very
strongly. The boat trip from San
Francisco north will give them a
chance to rest up and recuperate
There has been some criticism on
account of the cars being shipped so
far by water but as the cars will
come to the coast and then travel for
hundreds of miles before shipping by
boat the criticism is somewhat out of
place. Failure of all Of the participants
to finish has also been freely predicted
and it would not be very surprising
If they did fail, as they are attempting
the most arduous trip that can be
imagined. They have hardships from

OLYMPIC ARENA TRACK
FINEST EVER ERECTED

Cycle riders who take part in the
Olympic games in London this year will
make their appearance on one of the
finest bicycle tracks ever devised. 1t
will be a great oval, inclosing a second
oval to be used by the contestants in
the running races. Within the second
oval is the stadium proper, a turfed
Enclosure 235 yards along its longer
axis and almost 100 yards across. These
dimensions are larger than the exter-
nal measurements of the superb mar
BILE stadium at Athens, and show that
the curves are calculated to enable a
runner to take the corners at full speed.
The cycle track will be of smooth
cement, scientifically banked to permit
great speed. A broad passage for the
circulation of the public will be be-
tween the outer edge of the cycle track
and the tiers of boxes.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Feb. pa
big delegation of automobilists is in
Washington to appear before the judi
ciary committee of the house of repre-
sentatives and urge the passage of the
Cocks bill providing for federal regis
tration of automobiles used In inter-
state travel. The hearing will probably
be held before a subcommittee of the
main committee. officially known as
subcommittee No. 4, and composed of
Representative Tirrell, chairman; Rep
.resentatives Brantley and Caulfield. 1t
is expected that the Cocks bill will go
through congress with flying colors,
as very little opposition to it has been
manifested.
Preliminary arrangements for the
proposed hearing were perfected this
week at a conference attended by
Charles T. Terry, chairman Of the leg
islative committee of the A. A. A;
Secretary Elliott of that organization;
Representative Cocks, who introduced
the bill; President Yellott of the Mary

RECORD FOR
YEAR GREAT
SALES IN 1907 EXCEEDED ALL
PREVIOUS FIGURES
Nearly $1oo,ooo,ooo Spent on Autos
During Twelve Months-Present
Seasons Outlook Even
Brighter

Interesting figures dealing with the
value of automobiles sold during l90I
were given out after the meeting of the
A. l.. A. NJ last week. General Man
ager Budlong, by way of preface.
stated his belief that Gf the general
policy of conservatism, coupled with
rational business methods and proper
commercial practice, were adhered to.
the business for 1908 would not only
equal, but be larger than that of 1907
The records and statistics for 1907,
which have just been completed by the
Licensed association, show to what
extent the industry has grown the
last year or two. During the fiscal
year of January 1, 1906, to January l,
1907, there were 47,S02 pleasure gasoline
cars manufactured in this country.
The aggregated value is $96, 1863, SIP.
During this same period there were
5000 Steam and electric pleasure We
hicles built and sold in this country
with a total value of $7,500,000, this
giving a total of 52302 pleasure auto
mobiles sold in the past twelve months,
with a total value of $105, 669,572.
The percentage of increase each year
has been consistent, as shown from
statistics gathered in 1904, which show
the value of the total output 6,645, 064
as against S105, $685. for the present
year. Based upon accurate knowledge
VI the nulIlDeI VI ellplOyeS anu TIC pAO
duction of large number of automo-
bile factories, it is estimated that the
total number of employees directly en-
ployed in the factories is $4,000 and the
capital employed $4,000, 1000.
There is also, as in many other man
ufacturing products, an indirect invest
ment which is closely allied to vehicle
manufacture. This includes such
products as tires. lamps, speedometers,
drop forgings, etc. Close estimation
shows that there are $4,000 employed in
this indirect manufacture, with total
capital employed of $36,700,000
Unlike many other manufactured
products, the sales end of the automo-
bile industry is exceedingly expensive.
At the close of the year 1907 there
were 2151 sales and garage establish
ments, employing 21,500 people, with a
capital of $57. 100000 employed to do
this business. This includes real es-
tate, rentals, insurance bonds and in
terest on money invested. Not includ-
ing the manufacture of motorcycles or
the sale of supplies and accessories, the
total estimation is: Value of product
sold, $105, 669.572; total capital en-
ployed, $171, 44S. 1859; number of employees
involved, los, 500.

chance the racers have to reach Nome

By Associated Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Utilization of
automobiles to transport rubber from
the back country of the Congo to the
river is planned by the American Congo
company, whose general manager,
Samuel p Werner, arrived here yester-
day from Africa, where he has been
the directing head of the expeditions
that have been operating up the terri
tory. The problem of the territory,
says Mr.. Werner, is that the use of the
automobiles is the most practicable
plan is founded upon personal examin-
alton of the conditions. Back of the
river strip of timber land, he says, are
the high, smooth veldts or plains, COW
cred for the most part with long grass
and practically devoid of timber.
MY PLAN" said Mr.. Werner yester-
day, lis to cut automobile roads
through the jungle strips at various
points and then by burning off the
grass on the plains we can run our cars
across the country without bothering
about roads. / think it will work ex-
cellently. All of the country back Of
the river is high and healthy, though
hot, and is as easy to cross as Ne

NEW MACHINES TO
BE ON EXHIBITION
COMING SHOW IN SAN FRANCISCO
CONTAINS NOVELTY
Foreiun Cars Slated for Place on
Floor at EVent-Place for
Motor Boats and
Airships

The coming automobile show in San
Francisco will be novelty, inasmuch
as there will be represented on the floor
of the Coliseum the makes of cars that
Rave, to q certain extent, been particu-
larly unknown outside of the big cities
oil the coast. Many of these cars are
the result of experience that some of
the experts of the game have had with
some of the older makers. The re-
suit is that the vehicles to be seen are
among the most modern of the day.
BESIDES, there will be cars that have
national regulations in the speed game.
having been among those which have
laade their records over the Wander
hilt course. Incidentally, French cars.
that have made a reputation in Eu-
rope and America as racers and touring
cup winners, will be exhibited. There
is no question that the show will
be the most unique ever given in San
Francisco. Among the attractions, be-
sides the airship proposition, will be
the motor boat display. With the ad-
vance of the motor car and its Won
derful engine, the launch, or motor
boat, as it is known now, will advance
in leaps and bounds. The possibility
that such a light engine of high power
can get such speed has brought out
a new field, or industry, and many of
these high powered engines and motors
are to be exhibited. The commercial
truck, another branch of the automo-
bile game which is coming to the
front, will also be part of the exhi-
bition. These necessities, as it were
having taken on more serious turn
IN the game, now hold the attention
of the manufacturer, who, when the
stringency in the money market made
itself felt, turned his attention to the
commercial vehicle, which will become
an individual industry of great inn
portance.

than the previous best record for an
equipped stock car on that track. The
little steamer was too light to hold the
turns and skidded wide, but wild
Bill' cut her out a little now and then
and let her skid.
When he got on the back stretch he
fairly few, and many trembled for fear
he could not make the last turn, but
he swung safely around seemingly on
two wheels and came tearing down the
stretch. With a little ballast in the
shape of a man hanging on the inside
the turns would have been made faster
and the time considerably lowered.
A ninety horsepower, six cylinder ma
chine was put on the track after the
races and did four miles in $40. The
driver did not wait for any bouquets.
