ON THE ISLE OF man.
Over n Dangerous Course 35 Automo-
biIes Are Racing at High Speed.

Douglas, Isle of Man, Sept. A.-The
automobile race arranged under the
auspices of the Royal Automobile club
was started here this morning. The
course is 371a miles long and exceed
ingly dangerous. Thirty-f1ve cars got
away at intervals of half a minute.
Ambulances were stationed one mile
apart over the entire course, which is
to be covered nine times, giving to-
tai distance of 33715 miles long. Four
minor mishaps marked the earlier
stages of the contest, but no driver
was injured The leaders covered half
the distance at a speed of about 80
miles an hour.
This contest probably will be the last
70 be run on a public highway in Great
Britain. Opposition to it on the part
of the general public has been strong
and were it not for lack of jurisdiction
over the Isle of Man the local govern
ment board of which John Burns is
president, undoubtedly would have pro-
hibited today's contest. The authori-
ties and residents of the Isle of Man,
however. were in favor of the race for
in recent years they have reaped rich
harvest from these meetings.
