LONG ISLAND MOTOR PARKWAY.

3 NEW YORK. June 6.-With the
casting of the first spadeful Of earth
by w. X. Vanderbilt. jr., the gigantic
project of an automobile speedway
that will traverse Long Island was

tlon WIN NOT slop at tl1teen miles, the

ton VIII not stop ut titteen miles, the
contracts let calling for the compile
ton of as much OF sixty miles OF the
road as soon as possible. What
that means to the plans of the
Vanderbilt Cup Commission In
the selection of the course for
the Vanderbilt Cup race in Oc-
tober can be- generally appreciated.
It practically assures the holding OF
the cup race on Long Island.
This roadway will be from 100 to 200
feet wide throughout It's length. It's
adaptability for contests like the Van
derbllt Cup race will be perfect. It
would be possible when the first fir-
teen miles are completed to make
turns In the road at Garden City and
beyond Hicksville, so that the cars
could swing around short circuit
and then return on the same speedway.
In this way road could be provided
that would be possible to police per-
fectly, over which cars might run In
full view OF extensive grand stands,
where cars might speed with no re-
strictions save. those that mechanical
limitations finilict:: II the plan can be
consumate d---and there seems now no
obstacle in the way---the Vanderbilt
Cup race could. 4 be run there under
better auspices than: ever before in its
history--or in fact that have mark ed
any races In automobile history.
When it Is considered that all high
ways and railroads Intercepted are to-
be crossed either above or below grade,
and that throughout the distance the
highway will be free from speed traps,
the benefits to be derived from its
use by the man who maintains
summer residence, on Long Island can
readily be appreciated. AS specially
prepared boulevard. the holding Of con.
