Buick Shows Class.

The 4. A As refusal 10 sanction
the automobile races at Benning yester-
day under the auspices OF the Elks
Rural Jubilee and Barn Dance kept the
professional drivers out of the event,
but had little effect on the spirits Of
the amateurs entered
For the most part the races were
wallIovers This did not prevent some
heaTtTeudiug .reyersals. as when the
ThOmas-Detroit started out with a squirt
and after tapping It's opponents was put
out of the running by two broken spark
plugs. W. s. Smith. of Baltimore, the
owner and driver. was game and kept
his little machine running at half speed,

wheel Of the winning car, drove a splen-
did race. and his car. while 1t did not
develop any bursts OF speed, won ap-
plause by its steady running
The way In which NeUmeyeT took the
corners was largely responsible for his
time. which was the best OF the day
in the ten-n3ile events He made the
distance in 14.42. He shows remarkable
aptitude for track work, and his work
deserves notice ia view Of the little
experience ne has had In competition
of this sort
The Washington times., 1908-06-19
Columbia Wins Fourth,

Neumeyer's Columbia also started in
the fourth event. q ten-mile race for
gasolene cars and open only 10 EIks.
He had gained nearly half a lap on the
other Columbia, pilOted by Thomas T..
Miller when ms motor stalled and the
car was backed OF the track. This left
Miller with a good lead on j. A. Byrne,
who drove a Buick TunabouI.
Miller won the race only by the hard
est kind of work. In view of the fact
that the Buick was away out Of its
class its run in this event was another
striking demonstration OF the staying
qualities OF the smaller cars. II was
also handicapped by the iueIperienCe OF
edges no is no Barney Oldueld. ON the
straight stretches the Buick made al
most as good time as its man-sized
competitor but lost heavily because or
Byrne's natural carefulness in making
the turns.
The same car driven by Samuel Lut-
tTell won the hrst and second races
hands down. Much Of the spice was
lacking IN the match race between the
Buick and the Ford by the fact that
Charles Z Miller could not drive in
an unsanCJiOucd event. W. s Frazier
Eiloted the Ford Roadster. Trouble de-
veloped in the carbuuretor, leaving the
Buick the winner. In the second race
the Ford failed 10 finish although II
made a creditable showing while ia the
running Bray's Overland gave the
Buick a hard rub for the earlier laps
but could not stand the pace.
In the event sheduled for nifty miles,
John listers OldsmObile was disabled.
leaving W. s. Smiths Thomas Flyer
the winner after covering but thirty
nine miles.
The motorcycle race was not so close
as was expected. MCPhurson's Merkel

Bill Burns great pitching. which did
not give the Tigers a chance TO become
dangerous. That We won another game
was also 10 a large extent a personal
triumph for George Mcbride. who made
a triple with three on bases. Without

all the delegates took the special

special regimental drill was given for
their entertainment. Previous to adj

The address of Mr.. Grandheld
brought to the postmasters the cheer

and also postal savings banks and
numerous reforms in the third and
