CEDRINO SMASHES WORLDS RECORD
Italian Auto Driver Lowers 800
Mile Figure in Test Race
at OrmOnd.

ORMOND, Fla. March ga new
worlds auto record for three hundred
miles wa made on Ormond Beach YES
terday afternoon by the Fla Cyclone,
driven by Emanuel Cedrino, who
covered the distance in Sh. 5Sm. and
AS. His average speed exceeded II
miles an hour. The fastest time here
tofore was a traction over 70 miles an
hour, made on the circular track at
the Grand Prix in France.
The beach is decidedly faster than
any track, but the endurance perform
ance is the more remarkable because
the drivers at noon predicted that 1t
would be impossible to equal records
because of the soft course.
There was an exciting struggle FOR
second place in the 256-mile race, which
was gained by Walter Christie's car,
driven by r.. G. Kelsey. of New York.
M. G.. Bernin, In the 160-horsepowsr
Renault, was third. Cedrino won tho
event and continued for the 800 mile
record attempt.
The heavy winds of the night before
brought an uncommonly high tide,
Which caused so much delay at the
start that 1t was decided to cut one of
the nine laps of SO miles each. chang
ing the distance from 28S to 256 miles.
The Ormond end of the beach was in
condition for the first time, so the en-
tire stretch was used, ten miles below

STONE IS GUEST AT
SMITH GUN CLUB SHOOT

Fred stone, the inimitable comedian
of 1.-THE Red Mill" was a whole show
in himself yesterday at the Smith Gun
Club traps at Morris Park. About
every member of the club was in at
tendance at the shoot, which was ar
ranged in Mr.. Stones honor.
Remarkable shooting was done by
Mr.. Stone with the rife and shotgun.
After practising a few shots at the
blue rocks, Stone gave his exhibition
with the Hoxie bullet. A quarter of
beef was tied up to a tree. The first
shot Stone fired was a 5000 Winchester
HoXie bullet from a distance of seven
ty-fve feet. 1t tore a hole in the side
of the beef three inches in diameter,
and shattered a rib and knocked a por-
ton of the beef to a distance of TWEEN
ty-five feet. After firing several other
cartridges of various sizes of the Hozie
make, the quarter of beef was COM
pletely shattered. Everyone who wit
messed the exhibition said the hunter
who used such a bullet when hunting
for big game was sure to get his re-
ward, for the game would have no
chance to get away after being struclS.
The first event on h regular pro-,
gram was for the Scarecrow Cup. 1t
was a handicap, 100 birds, for members
only. It was captured by John Davis
on a shoot-off with II. Bercaugh and
John Erb. Davis broke % out of 25 on

METHODS OF s'FAIxEo ART
"Apropos of the lively agitation over
fake art contemporary asserts that
there are several artists who are well
paid for making these fake copies,
and that at any time they may be seen
in any of the well known galleries
open to copyists. After the first COPY
IS made the picture is turned over to
a Journeyman artist. who makes
scores of copies of the first copy. which
are then sent to the 'fakery,' where
it becomes the original from which
all other copies are made. If it be a
figure piece, one of these carpenters
or Joiners of art paints in the flesh
tints and faces and hands of all the
figures Another paints in the cos
tunes, another expert puts in the
background, and still another furnishes
the landscape touches. and so on. Then
finisher takes the canvases in hand
and tones them up. joins edges and
gives the completed paintings the look
of age required by the buyer They
are then framed and sent out to be
snapped UP by the unsuspecting con-
noisseur.
Not one person in ten can tell a
faxed canvas when he sees 1t, but to
think OF paying out thousands for any
thing like the above is certainly har-
rowing"
