AUTO BREAKS RECORD
FOR 100 DAYS RUN

DETROIT. Nov. 2S.-A royal welcome
was accorded by the people OF Detroit
to the Chalmers Detroit go stock car,
which, on last Tuesday. completed Its
record breaking performance OF running
zoo miles a day for 100 consecutive days
"a performance never approached by any
other automobile.
Mayor William B. Thompson OF Detroit
and large number of the leading auto
mobilists of the city met the car at the
city limits and escorted ii down the main
streets OF the city TO the Ponchartrain
hotel, where the Ponchartrain cup. en-
blematic OF the wonderful performance
OF the car, was presented by Mayor
Thompson TO Hugh Chalmers, president
OF the Chalmers-Detroii company.
This particular car started out upon
Its record smashing endurance test on
August . last Its schedule was four
round trips daily between the Ponchar
train hotel, Detroit, and the Hodges
house. Pontiac. Mich, distance of POS
miles each day. The wonderful little
car had performed the herculean task
set before II without faltering, every
day. rain or shine, Sundays not excepted,
This made total mileage covered in 100
days of $500 miles.
1t is not recorded that any other auto
mobile. no matter what its size. horse
power. or price. has ever gone as far in
the same length Of time, As test OF
showing OF the Chalmers Detroit 800 In
this instance Is unique. II may perhaps
sometime be equaled, but it will hardly
be surpassed.
During all OF its long Journeys the
Double Century go" as 1t has come to
be known by the people Of Detroit, did
not once have TO take time out for any
mechanical brealtdowns or shortcomings.

absolutely unfagging energy and capaci-
~. the $50" covered its 20S miles a day
AT first there were many who ques-
toned the ability of the car 10 accom-
plish the task that II was set 70 do but
as week after week passed and the 80
showed no signs OF baking at Its task
skepticism changed to wonder and ad-
uiration. and long before the last stages
OF the test were reached. thousands OF
Detroiters were watching the car daily
by finishing perfectly what it had been

NEW YORK. Nov. 2S.-The activity OF
Austrian trotting horse buyers has not
stopped since they started purchasing
number Of this seasons best stations
and mares during and Immediately after
the Lexington meeting Of last month. The
most prominent among the foreign buy
ers this year have been the two Schles-
singer brothers Of Vienna
After shipping about q dozen Of per-
haps the fastest and choicest trotters
that ever went out OF this country three
weeks ago, the two brothers started upon
an inspection tour through several Of the
best breeding farms OF this state, buying
some outright and getting options on
others for future deals So far they have
secured four highly bred mares with rec
ords and have them ready for ship
ment
The fastest In the lot is that famous
campaigner. the gray mare LILY Young
(2I9D, by Young Fullerton, which they
purchased through John Splan..
Speaking of his purchases, Mr., Schles
singer said; "Our Arm has so far in
vested nearly $500, 900 In American trot-
ting bred horses. and our experience has
taught us that the very best we can
secure in this country eventually proves
the best Investment.
Breeding Counts.
Sidera ton IA our purchases. yet that point
alone is never allowed TO be our chief
guide We stick more 0rrnly to breed
ing lines. and the stations OF mares which
belong TO the best producing families are
just as acceptable TO US without any
record as one that has fast mark. either
trial or in q race.

racing prospect for the Austro- Hungarian
turf. or to race In Italy or Russia. At
that point we either buy outright what
horses we can. or are for SAFE. 10 supply

them for future negotiation.
Our American trotting horse friends
are fully aware that We are in the mar
ket as business people. and not the kind
that pays fancy prices like $4,000. and
as result in the majority OF cases we
find that the prices asked for our selec-
tions are reasonable enough TO make the
business pay at the other end Our de-
mand for trottlng- bred horses is on the
Increase, but we find that, although the
future OF racing In this country is doubt
full, yet the prices this year are much
higher than before"
