Cortelyou was a minor clerk in the

master General Bissell said he had
heard of very competent man in
the Office of his fourth assistant It
was thus that Cortelyou. right hand

in the White House.
Shortly after this event the following
conversation took place one morning in
the executive offices:

Most of the cars started as soon

to be lamented in the whole affair,

run and the roads We're in some
places exceedingly bad-muddy and
wet. slippery roads will tell more
against car than almost anything
else, but these were something the
bubbles did not have to go up against
Saturday. The roads were dry and
hard, rough in some places, to be
sure, but, on the whole, they were
all that could be desired.
There can be no doubt but that the
run for the Won Hamm-Young Cup
Saturday was the most successful one
IN the history of the Automobile Club
of Hawaii. Out of the nine cars en-
tered into the run five of them regis

the trip with perfect score rath-
er an unusual record, to say the
least. There were no serious acct
dents of any nature to any cars in
the run, j. ID. kennedy being the
! only one who had any trouble, and
! he was not entered in the race.
While on his way to Haleiwa he
broke the front dXles OF his big Win
ton and was forced to prop the car
up and go on in another machine.
Frank Dillon sustained frightful

1t looked for while as If he would

was nothing slow about the way that

the car stopped until it started again,
was twelve minutes. Half an hour
