New York. April 23.-To-morrow morn
ing at daybreak twenty-five cars are
scheduled to start in an international
struggle OF about 325 miles. for the Briar-
cliff trophy, over a tortuous, winding cir
cult In Westchester County.
Five nations viii be representative
United States. italy, France. Austria,
and Germany. The prize offered is a
splendid silver cup. designed and made
by Tiffany. and donated by Walter W.
Law, of Briarcliff Manor. westChester
County. n. Y
The contest is to be one for cars other
than racing cars. and no machine was
permitted TO be entered whose total pis-
ton area exceeded 1851 square inches.
OF the twenty-five entries. eleven are
cars built in this country-three Stearnes.
two Loziers. two Sixplexes, one Thomas,
one Hol-tan-Shawmute one Apperson,
and one Allen-Kingston. Six are from
Italy-three Isotta- -Fraschini machines,
two Flats, and one Bianchi Three are
imported from France-two Renaults and
one Panhard. One was made in Germany
the Benz-and one IN Austria, the Maja.
are Evenly Matsnegs
Because Of the piston area limitation,
the competing cars are more evenly
matched than has ever been the case COR
any great road race in this country, as
the stock car contests held recently at
Savannah were comparatively insignih-
cant by comparison To-morrow's race
will also have a larger number Of
starters than any other road race ever
held in this country. including the three
annual contests for the William X. Van
derbild jr., Cup in 1894, 1905, and 1906
-Four countries, the United States, France,
Italy. and Germany, were all that were
ever represented in any OF the three Van
derbilt races. so the event tomorrow is
greater, through I'VE nations being repre-
sented.
This country he's been secured for ex-
.perienced racing drivers, and there will
be the greatest lot OF American racing
men ever seen in one speed event on this
continent when the cars are formed in
line tomorrow morning Most OF the
drivers are American born. and most OF
them gained practically all their racing
experience in road, track, and beach rae
ing and hill climbing events in this
country.
All are Americans except Harding and
Poole, who were born In England; Cerido
and Sartol, who are Italians. and Bernin
and Bloch, who are Frenchmen.
Course Is Dried.
The warm sun has done much to dry
the course and 10 reduce the perils of the
route by lessening the chance Of skidding
on the 40 turns 10 be negotiated, and
Of breakdowns in the soft going of the
bad stretches. The contest. however, will
be full of dangers, and there will be gen
eral relief If the contest is completed
without serious accidents.
There were few trophy candidates on
the course during to-day's daybreak prac-
tice, most Of the drivers preferring to
take no chance on an eleventh-hour acci-
dent, or making use of the time to put
the finishing touches TO the preparation
OF the cars at the training camps.

NEW CURE FOR STOMACH.
Bowditch, Webster g. Co., Give kenne-
bee Readers Chance to Try 1t.

Druggists do not often guarantee
anything.
But BoWditch, Webster & Co, assure
persons suffering from distressing in
digestion that they can surely be re-
lieved.
Since nobody knows when. people
have suffered from Indigestion. sick
headaches, bloating, dizzy spells, dis
tress after eating, sleeplessness, and
many other symptoms of stomach
trouble. and have found the usual
remedies powerless.
AT last prescription called Mi-o-na
stomach tablets is offered to the
medical profession and general public
as final solution of curing stomach
and intestinal troubles. Its success
everywhere has made it, in the last
few years, the acknowledged specific
it is today
Indigestion, which is so common a
trouble is the principal cause of a
great share of the general poor health.
1t has misleading symptoms that
seemingly have no reference to the
stomach, such as headaches, sleepless-
ness, nervous symptom, etc. These
conditions. if neglected, become
chronic and hard to shake off.
Strengthen the whole digestive sys-
tenn with Mi-o-na, and you will soon
find that the stomach and bowels do
their work as they should. There will
be no distress after eating, and the re-
fuse Will be expelled from the system
without the aid of physic.
Bowdtch, Webster & Co. have so
much faith in the power of Mi-o-na to
cure stomach ills that they give
guarantee with every 50-cent box to
refund the money if the remedy does
not do all that is claimed for it. They
take all the risk. and YOU cannot afford
to pass by a reliable medicine that is
sold in this way.
Sold and guaranteed in Waterville
