S. R. Mallory Kennedy, a we'll
known auto enthusiast of Pensacola,
Fla, is in Atlanta en- route to New
York over the Journal Herald route
after a remarkable trip from Pensa-
cola.
Mr.. Kennedy drove his own ma
chine, Standardization, in the re-
maTkable running time OF 40 hours,
but as no attempt at a record was in
view Mr.. Kennedy took things easy
stopping at numerous hotels and
garages along the route.
Mr.. Kennedy is now on his way to
New York over the Journal Herald
route. His object in making the trip
is to connect New York with the gulf,
using the Journal Herald contest
route from New York to Atlanta, and
the route over which he reached this
city from Pensacola as the connect
ing link.
In speaking Of the condition of the
roads over which he travelled Mr..
Kennedy said:
Il could tell the difference in the
roads the minute 1 made the Georgia
line. / was so disguised with the
condition Of the thOTOughfaTe in Ala
