Good Use of Auto.

Frank II Davis of Frisco bad the
novel experience this week of demon
strating a White Steam car at fun
eral. 1t happened that Davis had an
appointment with Attorney +. T., John
son of Napa TO take him for ride
in one of the new Whites. On the morn
ing arranged for the trip, johnson was
obliged to attend the funeral of friend
in Monticello. SO they motored from
Napa into the Berryessa valley The
White was driven in the funeral among
sixty carriages, and its ease Of opera
tion and absolute nolseless running at
the extraordinary slow speed, was cause
for considerable comment. The Steam
car later was run to the Johnson ranch
out of Monticello and forded a river
$50 feet wide and 3l2 feet deep, cross

the hood of his big racer.
Oldfield tested his new machine the

made an examination of the machinery

in an Indianapolis factory under Old.

For many years past, and up to the
present, the foreign drivers have been
the brightest stars in such events as
the Vanderbilt cup, the Savannah road
race, the Florida Beach and most Of
the hill climbs.
1t has been only at the track racing
game that the American drivers have
more than held their own, and it it has
remained for Oldfield to prove that he
alone of the American pilots has been
able to defeat them consistently.
