Cars Turned SquareIy Around

The town of Hayward, blessed with
the two most difficult curves on the
course, a straight stretch OF road, a
bridge and a two mile grade, had a
race quite separate from the main
event, and apparently no one of the
5000 people lining the roads at that
end of the egg shaped course cared
what became of the machines after they
had appeared in a cloud of dust on the
road from Melrose, skidded and ca
reened around the curves and disap-
peared over Webb hill after negotfat-
ing the two mile grade.
At the junction of the county road
and b street, indeed the HAYWARD
citizens witnessed the most exciting
periods of the race. Here the course
took a right angle turn, over a bitumen
pavement, and in making the curve
machine after machine slid completely
around and stopped, pointing back the
way it had come One racer whirled
so that, after an entire turn, it was
pointing again the direction it wished
to go, and off it started without a mo-
ment's delay.
FIRST CAR APPEARS
shout went up as, two miles
away. a pinch of dust suddenly sprang
up on the straight stretch from Mel
rose. Then an auto showed. and grew
more and more distinct UNTIL with a
rattle and roar the brakes screamed
for the right angle turn. Mechanic

driver gripped at his wheel, the ma

skidded, recovered or whirled around.
and started off for the next curve. a
banked right angle bend three blocks
away. leading out OF b street into the
foothiI boulevard Another whirling
cloud Of dust. and. amid further veIIs
the racer was off, across the bridge
and climbing the two mile hill. A
man turned to speak to his neighhor.
and when he looked again there was a
blur at the hill summit and again an
empty road. Hayward then turned to
the next pinch of dust rising on the
county road and again the performance
was repeated.
There was small bank of dirt to
catch the machines as they whirled
around the corner from the county road
into street. and this undoubtedly
saved the plate glass windows of

VICTOR SHOWS DARING
Fleming's daring and dash showed
in the first lap. He was but few
seconds behind Driver Kings Max
well as they passed the grandstand
after the first round. and when the lit
tie car came to grief the blue clad
driver in his gray car took the lead.
And there he stayed. cutting records
with the sang froid of lightning.
AS the noon hour approached the 81
miles of racecourse became a great pic
mic loop. From the tonneau of every
auto came lunch baskets, and speeding
machines were followed with eyes that
hads been devoted to sandwiches dur
ing the moment between the appear
ance and disappearance of the buzzing
lightning bug.
The people at the course had gath
cred early. AT O'clock there were
on horseback and in buggies sand on
foot hurrying to the course. At s
o'clock the vehicles filled the road
three or four abreast. At $50 O'clock
the course was closed to everything
except the racing cars, and they came
from their camps the men tinkering
with the machines up to the last
moment
BEAUTY ABSENT THERE
The racing automobile, it should be
explained. is not thing of surprising
beauty, as is the racing horse or the
racing yacht. The machines Yesterday
were inclined to be grimy. But
they were low and sturdy and their
engines were the noisiest that ever
roared in their travaiis. The man who
invented the myth. of the fire breathing
dragon must have had the racing auto
mobile in mind. There was a terrible
claror of explosion and exhaust as
the cars lined up. That popping sound
became more of desperate whirr
after the race was on. The fire breath
ing dragons became savag bees that
tore into space and around the corner
with a, swiftness that gave little time
to analyze the details either OF con-
struction or sound
AS the race progressed, and it was
seen that the blue clad Fleming was
to be the victor If he did not meet with
mishap. his arrival each time was
cheered heartily by the spectators in
the. grandstand who could follow the
wonderful details Of his performance
from the figures on the scoreboard.
THOUSANDS LINE COURSE
Not until the race was over could it
be appreciated how many were out to
see the race. From San Francisco
alone there were thousands who. went
on the trains and not In their cars.
And from Oakland. Berkeley and every
section of the country adjacent to the
course there were thousands.
