AUBURN MAKING FINE
RECORD in STAGING
CARRIES EXTRA PASSENGERS
WITH GREAT EASE
Neeotlates Seventy-MiIe Journey Over
Steep Mountain Road, Doing the
Work of Six Horses More
Speedily

The story of an Auburn car that is in
daily use in San Diego county on a
stage line is one of the most creditable
of the many that have been told. A
few days ago, when r. L. Forsyth was
in San Diego looking after the inter-
ests of the Auburn, he saw the automo-
bile stage as 1t loaded up for its 70-mile
journey over a steep mountain road.
While originally designed to carry
only five passengers, there were hVe
big, husky men aboard and one child,
besides the driver. Added to their
weight We're four suit cases which
had been strapped on one of the run
ming boards, while behind on baggage
rack two big hampers had been fast
ened.
Forsyth remarked to the driver thai
| it seemed to be pretty good load, pu'
was assured that 1t was only the aver
age, as seven grown persons were otten
hauled, accommodations for the two
extra ones being provided by supple
mentary seats in the tonneau.
The car has replaced two six-horse
teams, which did the work in longer
time and made less frequent trips. IL
has been in commission continuously
for the past nine weeks, and is used IN
the rent service at night at San Diego,
when it is in town. 1t has made 6zSU
miles in that time and has not missed
trip.
Thomas o. Fewell, who operates the
line, previously tried two other cars,
both of them with four cylinders, but
disposed of them, giving the Auburn
the preference on account of economy
and efficiency.
The entire road is on an up grade,
much of it running from 10 to 20 per
cent, but the car negotiates all the hills
without trouble.
AT present the G. & ]. mountain tread
tires are being used and are giving ex5
caIienf service. The surface of the road
is very rough in many places, and the
sharp rocks have made it extremely
difficult to get good results from the Or

LIMA, Ohio, July 1S.-The superior

FENNER OFFER
AGENT FOR AUBURN CAR IS
WILLING TO TRY
WANTS FEE CONFINED TO BARE
EXPENSES OF THE TRIP
Challenger Thinks Stake for Proposed
Race TO Big Horn Mine Should
Not Be Less Than Five
Hundred Dollars

The challenge of F. C. Fenner for
race to the Big Horn mine on North
Badly mountain has been taken up by
r. L. Forsyth, the genial and progress
sive agent for the Auburn cars.
An entrance fee of $1,000 has been
required In the two previous races,
but Forsyth offers to race If the fee
is reduced to $3.50, which he thinks VIII
be sufficient to cover the expenses.
In his letter of acceptance Forsytn
says he does not care to make II
contest for a purse. The idea Of ac-
cepting the challenge is to demon
strate the equality or superiority OF
the Auburn two-cylinder car and not
primarily to make money out OF II.
1t is simple sportsmanship PROPOSE
ton and Forsyth is the first one IN the
local field to indicate any desire to
race. His car demonstrated its speed
and endurance when 1t came down
from San Francisco recently In less
than twenty-one hours and concluded
the trip in first class shape.
The Auburns time was beaten by a
high powered steam car, but it Is
about an even bet between the Au-
burn two-cylinder and the runabout
which Fenner says he will enter
against any medium powered car.
Fenner has sent his answer to For
syth and declared himself in favor OF
an entrance fee Of at least $500, as, in
his opinion, it will take that much to
pay mis- expenses If he loses or wins.
When Fenner was asked If he would
race for an entry fee of $3.50 If an
other medium powered car entered,
making three in all, he said he was
not prepared to make any further
statement regarding the matter until
his return from San Francisco Monday.
Fenner left on Saturday evenings
Owl, and while north expects to see
Mr.. Dexter, who has offered to race q
sixty horse power Locomobile for $1,000
a side. In case he accepts Fenners
challenge a higher powered car than
the runabout will be used, and in that
case the expense would be greater.
Forsyth is game to race his car Tor
the sport of the thing, with the ex-
pense of the run as stake, but m
sists that he does not care to gamble
in any sense of the word and prefers
to make 1t purely sporting event:
Just what the ultimate outcome VIII
be it is impossible to say until Fenner
has seen the man in the north who
has said that he would like to race
Last year the race was petween,,
Captain Ryus and SELF starter
smith. but an accident that came near
killing smith put him out of the race
at Newhall. The time made on that
run for the hundred miles of mountain
climb and rough valley road was four
hours and eighteen minutes. The road
has recently been put in good condi-
ton for that class of road and 1t is
the hope of Gasoline Row and many
other good sportsmen that a race may
be arranged.
| Fenner will race only once this year.
| SO If he makes any arrangement with
| the higher powered car the Auburn
| probably will be out of 1t, although 1t
| is the opinion of many that 1t stands
| a good chance in any class of entries.

Bottling Houses Closed

The two large brewing companies in
Wilmington have been having agents
in Penn's Grove to sell their beer as bot
Ting houses under government tax, for
some years. Bypaying $35 tax they were
allowed to sell five gallons, two cases or
more. The State had no law to prohibit
the sale so long as they did not sell less
than five gallons, or forty-eight bottles at
one time.
The Legislature at the last session pass
ed a law requiring bottling establishments
to pay 500 licence fee and must get the
right to sell from the County Court.
Since the laws are not published in the
newspapers blu, few knew such a law had
been enacted and the Penn's Grove bot
tiers did not know to apply for a license.
Consequently they closed last Saturday.
They cannot apply before September
Court.
Applications for bottlers license were
presented to the Cumberland County
Court on Monday. Judge Tuller refused
all and said he would not grant a bottlers
license while he was Judge.

Fishing Notes

Because OF the rain and heavy winds
the latter part OF last week but few VEN
tured out after shad. Consequently the
market got bare and the plice doubled in
a week. Never before has the wholesale
price advanced from $17 to $40 in one
week at Penn's Grove. The city market
price advanced from 1927 to $65.
The most profitable days fishing in
years was the catch last Friday by Rich
ard Richardson and Raymond N. Harris
who braved the wind and waves all day,
when few were on the river, and were
awarded with 165 shad. They were sold
in Philadelphia on Saturday for 65c. each
Melted nearly SIC. each, a total of $685. s.
The catch of shad this week has been
only fair. On Monday and TUESDAY the
catch was 100 on down. Wednesday
from 80 on down. The average catch
was less than half the highest catches;
Because of the northeast wind and rain
all day Thursday but few ventured out
and the catch was small with one or two
exceptions.
The wholesale price on Monday was
$40, Tuesday $3S, Wednesday $40, Thurs
day $40.
Denny Bros. took about $4,000 from
the bay to Philadelphia ON the steamer
Numsen Monday evening.
Occasionally a small rock and carp are
found.
