R MBLER WINS
AWARD FROM So
CONTESTANTS
Car Came Within n Seconds
of Time Set by Mayor
Reyburn.

Calculating to the fraction of a min
ute the secret time schedule fixed by
Mayor Reyburn, of Philadelphia. for a
trip from Philadelphia to Atlantic City.
George Proud, entrant of the Rambler,
has been awarded the magnificent
Marlborough Blenheim cup for the
second annual reliability run of the
Quaker City Motor Club.
Perhaps no better, demonstration of
the ~roadability value of the American
built automobile for ordinary touring
purposes was ever given, owing to the
necessity of maintain accurately a
previously arranged schedule.
S~ixty-nine cars were entered, but the
Rambler finished within twenty-five
seconds of the time set by Mayor Rey-
burn, which was three hours forty six
minutes thirty seconds. The Rambler
carried the number "23" in the contest,
and was driven by Ira L. Brown, of
Philadelphia. Mrs. Brown wasalso a
passenger.
The same car won the reliability run
from Philadelphia to Wildwood two
years ago, was one of the perfect score
cars in last years endurance run of the
Norristown Club to Lancaster and re-
turn, and also scored among the first in
the New Years endurance run of the
Quaker City to Wilkesbarre.
The trophy won by the Rambler is a
handsome solid silver cup offered as
first prize by the Marlborough Blen-
helm Hotel.

SHADE TREE COMMISSION
REQUEST OF CITIZENS
Wants to Know of Death of Any
of Their Plants.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
ut would be an immense advantage
to the cause of shade trees throughout
the city If you would allow US to place
before the people of Newark through
your columns the following matter.
ut happens FROM perfectly natural
and unavoidable causes that with this
department Gas with private nursery
mem, a certain small percentage of the
trees we set out die. Not only do nat
ural causes operate to this effect. but
mechanical and avoidable causes as
well, such as runaways, leaks from gas
and sewe pipes. malicious mischief.
etc. From whatever cause the death
of a tree occurs, we have obligated
ourselves to replace every such dead
tree with a live one.
1--WE have finished our 1909 spring
planting. and are preparing to replace
all trees Of our planting of former sea-
sons which have died. While we have
been taking note of such cases, it is en-
overlooked, seeing that our planting
activities are necessarily crowded into
q few weeks. We, therefore, very re-
Spect1ully request the cooperation VI
the Newark STAR In announcing to
them that the people of the city can
perform a great service If they will
notify this department of any street
trees of our planting which have died.
Our planting operations have covered
aggregate frontage of over 100 miles
of streets, so tina the need of such as
sistance is apparent, and this assist
ance, If granted, will largely aid this
department in maintaining unbroken
lines Of living trees on the streets we
planted. Very truly yours,
JAMES A. BERRY, President"

six to eight weeks to install the new
system. but it is thought that every
thing will be in readiness by July /, at

WHAT WE SPEND FOR MUSIC
AND MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
1t a no longer be said that the
people of the United States are un-
musical. They are paying out enor-
nous sums for musical instruments
and Increasing the amount spent ev-
cry year. In 10 years it almost doubled.
going from $50, 900, 900 a year to $780,
600, 900. AS all but S. 900, 900 of this IN
crease was in the last five years re-
ported, it can be seen that the number
of families now "devoted to music
of some kind is increasing every year
in a way that breaks all records.
About SIS out of each 81 is spent for
organs with total ef over $4,000. 900 a
year for this item, which may be cred
tied to church music. Over half the
whole amount goes for pianos. Their
figures go upSas "piano players" arc in
vented to play anytime that is called
for from the reel. The sale Of phono-
graphs and musical Instruments of
their class runs over aMdollar out of
each seven oftthe total. This still leaves
millions spent yearly for vioIins, guitars
and musical instruments of other kinds.
The totals given officially are those
of factory values, with some deduction
to be made for sales in other countries
OF instruments made in this. This is
much more than offset by the increase
or prices at retail. 1t seems safe to es-
Innate that we are spending over $780,
100000 q year now for musical instru-
ments alone. before beginning to. count
what Is paid teachers and performers.
