MICHIGAN TO MAINE.
Two Long Distance Autoists Arrive
After 1900 Mile Journey.

Callers at the Journal Office early
Wednesday morning were DR.. C. Gil
bert Percival of New York and e. p.
Blake of Boston, who had arrived in
this city on the last stage of a 1900
mile automobile trip from Jackson.
Mich. to Bangor The trip was in the
nature of a test tour for a Jackson
automobile which was expected to COM
plctc the distance in $50 hours without
a stop of the engine for the entire dis
lance
Up to reaching Augusta they had
kept up their schedule without accident
of any kind and expected to reach Ban
gor early in the afternoon. They came
Tuesday from Boston to Brunswick and
said that was the first day of pleasant
weather they had been favored with
since leaving Michigan. Oct. &c. The
roads had been hard. they said. through
the West and the Middle states but
much better after reaching New Eng
land alid DR.. Percival was especially
warm in his praise of the Maine high
ways.
He bore g letter from the mayor of
Jackson to Mayor Woodman of Bangor
which he expected to present before
the expiration of the time limit at 230
yesterday afternoon. The Jackson car
III which they made the trip is the 1909
model and the idea of making it q
nonstop run was to give it as severe a
test as possible. especially the engine.
At each place where stop was made
over night the engine was kept rum
ming just as when on the road, using
of course a great amount of gasoline,
but thai is Il small consideration in
such a test. The whole run from
Michigan was made without a single
tire puncture. though out in Ohio at
two o'clock one morning the car had a
collision with a team and smashed one
wheel guard.

Thousands who have piles have not

Augusta people did not fail to ap-
precate the splendid service given on
election night by the New England
Telephone and Telegraph Company
From late in the evening until early in
the morning a special force of operators
was kept busy and the regular sub
scrihers as well as the public places
where the returns were being received
and distributed were promptly supplied
with the latest bulletins from New
York and the various states where the
chief interest conferred. This service
was particularly prompt and complete
and early in the evening all inquirers
were given satisfactory and definite in
formation regarding the result of the
election. The bulletins sent out were
prepared with the idea that each
should tell complete story in itself,
and the completeness and promptness
of the service was something hitherto
unapproached.
