the character Of the competition for
this cup, contemplate change in the
deed Of gift. and the deed of gift has
been changed by the donor. William X.

LONG ISLAND RUN
WAS SEVERE TEST
High Speed Schedule Maintained
Over Rough Roads Almost
impossible.

NEW YORK. Sept. 26-From every
indication, the last 31O-mile mechanical
efficiency motor car contest around
Long Island last week was the most
strenuous two days run ever conducted
in New York.
With a speed schedule averaging from
seventeen TO nineteen miles per hour.
and a checking point every twenty or
twenty-five miles, a very rigid test was
put on the speed and steady running
qualities Of every car in the contest.
This is notably true when il is borne in
mind that never before had an automO-
bile covered the terrible roads from
Amagansett TO Montauk Point light
house, a distance Of twenty-five miles
The greater part OF this stretch was
over the time-worn sand dunes and
trails studded with dangerous bOUlders
and lodges.
The Shinnecock hills. with sand hub
deep. and the trails winding treacher-
ously over sharp knobs, added zest TO
the contest. Long stretches Of tide
water flats covered with mud. and deep
ruts and pitCh-hOIcs, were thrown IN for
dessert. These roads. or rather trails.
had TO be negotiated twice in going and
returning. That there may be no doubt

only be said that a s. 0O0 car which TAD
recently broken the worlds tvventy-four
speed record was disqualified the first
day by a broken dinerenJIaI among the
barren sand dunes a short distance
east Of Amagansett.
Another high-priced car in the same
class broke a front wheel. and. too. was
put out Of commission. Several other
cars came to grief with mechanical diff
culties, this having been augmented by
a new rule forbiding even the making
Of the slightest adjustment, repair, or
repla cement.
