Personal courage invests it's owner
with a protection beyond that afforded
by outside forces. An illustration OF
this is recorded by General William f..
Draper in his "Recollections of Va

cident:
In 1864 Colonel Daniels of the Sew
enth Rhode Island became unpopular
with some of his command, and q
rumor spread that he would be shot
at the next engagement. He heard Of
it. 1t was customary when guns had
been loaded for some time to have
them discharged into some convenient
bank. and Colonel Daniels took advan-

GAINESVILLE Street Car Line Sold.

The GAINESVILLE street railway system
was sold Monday by the Bladon estate,
Philadelphia, to local and New York
capitalists interested in the Rockford,
Beloit and GAINESVILLE interurban sys-
tenn. The line will be reconstructed
and adapted for interurban service.
The price paid was approximately
S45, 900, the value fixed by the state
railroad commission. The present cap
ital is S65, 900 and the bonded indebted
ness is $3.50, 900. The capital will be
increased to $1,000 The road will be
given interurban connections to Chi
cago through the Rockford line.
The line has reputation as the most
dilapidated street car system in the
state and has often been termed the
Saratoga trunk" line. Many damage
suits for personal injuries resulting, it
is said, from the inferior service and
equipment are pending in the courts.
A 3-minute service was maintained.
Strong indications exist that the
plans of the new owners are to make
the GAINESVILLE city system part of the
interurban system connecting Madison
and Rockford, with Chicago connecting
Madison and Rockford, with Chicago
connections In the latter CITY. Inc
route of the Cincinnati Construction
company's proposed line enters the city
on the east side, and that of the Rock
ford, Beloit, GAINESVILLE interurban en-
tiers on the west side. Through inter-
urban service from Madison to Chicago
will require the connections of the two
interurban companies with the James
vile city system, and every sign points
to this intention on the part of the new
owners of the line.

a three-cornered affair. with the Ap-
person, Stearns and Chadwick in the
limelight, and the Locomobile running
consistently and dangerously at all
times.
Haynes Has Downfall
The fourteenth lap saw the downfall
of the Haynes, the machine skidding
and bringing up against padm tree.
The car was not badly damaged, but
after making another round OF the
course retired from the race.
The time for the Apperson in the
first 1872 miles was registered at 140
minutes 10 seconds.
At this point it was seen that, bar
ring accident the Apperson would win
the event. and the interest centered
In the desperate duel between the
Stearns and the Locomobile, with the
Stearns In the lead.
The Columbia again appeared in the
race at the twenty third lap, but the
winner of the big event was foregone
conclusion and the big crowd yelled
itself hoarse for Hanshue to make a
record.
It had been the Apperson all the
way, but the fact that the Lozier had
negotiated the fastest lap was still
considered.
Hanshue took a long chance on the
last lap to beat the Lozier's record and
stopped to take on gasoline. The at
tempt to make a new lap record failed,
and If 1t had not been for this stop a
new worlds course record might have
come to Los Angeles.
SeIbel Turns Loose
While the crowd was watching the
duel between the Stearns and the Lo-
comobile, the Chadwick, with Seibel
driving stronger as the race progressed,
began to let out reserve speed, and
the work of Seibel along the Palisades
portion of the course was doubtless
the fastest bit of driving seen on the
race.
Seibel had the glory of bringing his
car in second and established name
for himself as one of the cleverest
drivers in California. 1t was Seibers
first drive in a big event and he ac-
quilted himself creditably.
The Stearns flashed across the line
in third position, and close behind
was the Locomobile, with Murray
Page straining every power to get the
last ounce of speed out of his car.
It was some time before the correct
time as announced, but after a con-
sultation and comparison by the fifteen
timers came the news that the Apper-
son had made the distance of 202. O0S
miles in hours, minutes and 8
seconds
Hanshue Was Modest
Driver Hanshue took his honors
modestly, but was disappointed when
he learned that he had come close to
making a new worlds record for such
a course, but the fact that he had
bettered the time made in the Wander

n INE entries lined up for the light
car race and the first cars were
- sent away promptly at 1890
o'clock. The crowd was fully as en-
thusiastic as during the big race and
as a result of a series Of pretty sprints
in front of the grand stand the race
at once began to show signs OF real
class.
Seifert and Dingley, both of whom
had driven in the morning race began
to Jockey for positions and the race
soon resolved into a duel between these
two cars with the Buick and Maxwell
running strong,
The first lap was made by the Stod-
dard-Dayton in minutes 26 4-5 sec
onds.
The stands became a mass of waving
hats and sun shades as the Maxwell
and Cadillac came down the Ocean
avenue stretch almost abreast. The
cars held the same positions until the
dangerous Nevada avenue turn was
reached, when the Maxwell swerved
ahead.
The next series of sprints was fur
nished by the Durocar and the Stude-
baker and served to keep the crowd
on edge. It soon was realized that a
real race was on and the crowd set
tied back for three hours of real sport.
The little Durocar was faVorite
with the crowd and Driver McKeague
never failed to mix it with the other
drivers when the opportunity was
given.
The Mitchell was running steady and
contesting every inch of the space with
the Buick. At the end of the third lap
the Chalmers-Detro was leading the
Stoddard by one-tifth of a second.
Seifert Gains Twenty Seconds
In the fourth lap Seifert, by a burst
of speed gained 20 seconds on the
Chalmers. and obtained the lead at
the end of the fifth lap. The Buick
was coming strong and but 30 seconds
behind the leader
At the sixth lap, the race was one Of
the prettiest ever witnessed, and the
big crowd howled with approval as the
cars tore into the long stretch in front
of the grand stand.
Seifert did great work in the next
three laps and managed to hold his
scant lead, but the Chalmers was gain
ing and made the fastest time for a
single lap in minutes, 81 seconds.
At the beginning of the tenth lap
it appeared to be anyone's race, as
only four minutes separated the first
