CHEVROLET WAS
MAKER OF HISTORY
Noticeable Absence of ChaImers=De-
troit Against Buick of Equal
Power from Track

One of the most remarkable showings
ever made by an automobile was that
made by 40-horsepower Buick run
about driven by Louis Chevrolet at
Riverhead, Long Island, on Septem-
her 90.
Driving in the class of cars selling at
from $1251 to $2500, over a distance of
1875 miles, divided into five laps, he
broke all records for the class by COW
ering the distance in 1 hour 81 minutes
&c $40 seconds. His average speed was
slightly in excess of 70 miles an hour,
and was faster than the average time
made in the 1000 to 5000, 5000 to 1000
class, and in the free-for-all, in which
averages of So, 81 and 81 miles respect
lively were maintained.
Robert Burman, team mate of Chew
rolet, covered the five laps in hour 46
minutes 21b seconds, or at rate of 50
miles, which in itself is a better show
ing than that made in the higher
classes.
1t is a noteworthy fact that no Chal-
mers-Detroit was entered again against
Chevrolet in this race with car of
equal horsepower. The latest example
Of the latter cars racing capacity was
at Lowell, where a $3.50 Chalmers-De-
troit was sent in against a little Buick
of the class of $1750, and got licked to
the humiliating spectacle of seventeen
laps, eating the dust of the little white
car the entire distance, consequently
not probable that any chance would be
taken against Chevrolet in a forty
Buick, where it would have had the
same chance of winning as stage of
euualing the time of the New York
Central limited.

THE MITCHELL'S
1910 IS A WONDER
COMPANY SPRINGS SURPRISE
ON PUBLIC
Can Turn Out Any Part Complete
Day 1t is Needed, and Adds
Six-cylinder Car to
New Models

Probably no automobile factory in
the country makes its 1910 debut to
the public with more revelations and
surprises than the Mitchell Motor Car
company of Racine, Wis. With FAC
tory more than doubled in its capac-
ity, with new buildings and practically
entirely new machinery and tools, this
company in it's 1910 product has at
tanned the climax toward which 1t mas
been working definitely for the past
six years, and for which 1t has really
been building up ever since 1t began
the manufacture of AUTOMOBILES
twelve years ago. This year they
make the boast that they are in po-
sition to turn out complete every part
of the automobile as quickly as their
agents and consumers may call upon
them.
- They have laid in store large guam
titles of material for the manufacture
of enough parts to go into the making
of over 5000 cars, which merely repre-
sents the first allotment of their 1910
product, and which will no doubt be
followed by another series during the
wear. the Mitchell company having
abandoned the plan of trying to pro-
duce ian every year fashion car.
They believe that they have so stand
ardized their cars that they nave
lection which will make 1t impossible
to add any radical change to the car
for several years to come and are
merely figuring upon making rehne-
ments to their cars as experience or
taste may dictate, and OF such charac-
ter that they can be added TO any
model of this years product II desired.
This does not mean that the Mitchell
company is going to stand still, but
rather signifies that they have so
proved the construction of their pres
ent car that the demands Tor power
wear, design, etc, cannot materially
The Mitchell factory is turning out
this year three models, namely, Model
EFT" the four-cylinder, 30-horsepoWer
touring type; model "R," the 3O-horse-
mower runabout type and for the first
time a model "S,' or six-cylinder 90
horsepower type. These are really
practically only one car, the engine be-
ing exactly the same in each except
that the six-cylinder car has SIX GYM
ders instead of four of exactly the
same dimensions and power. This, or
course, is a standard size for pistons
and all parts of the cylinders. Inc
same parallel of parts extends through
out the entire machine, the only differ
ence being in the length of the car
and, of course, the increased length OF
the driving shaft in the bigger ma
chine. The wheel sizes are in the run
about car to 80 inches, in the five
Messenger touring car to "a inches and
in the six-cylinder car to SO inches.
The six-cylinder car is sold at exactly
the same price that the last years big
touring car sold.
The motor is retained in its entirety
as last years model save that 1t is now
an absolutely silent motor. The end
toward which the makers have been
working to eliminate all noise, they
claim, has been absolutely accom-
pIished

turing their own bodies, tenders, etc,
they are enabled to thoroughly in
spect every part of the car before it
is assembled, and also the entire ma
chine is thoroughly gone over before it
is sent out for a 300-mile or more road
test. Another advantage of this sys-
tenn of manufacture is the economy eff
fected by eliminating the middle mans
profit, not to mention the facility for
quick manufacture when they are in
dependent of other concerns.
Greer & Robbins, who are agents
for the Mitchell cars in Southern Cali

of the Mitchell cars and have largely
increased their orders for allotment of

THE newspapers and other publications
have at various times during the past
year printed so much concerning the nu-
Inerous victories attained by the CHAD
WICK stock cars in speed and hill climb
ing contests that we will only briefly sum-
MARIO the more important ones, as fol-
lows: -,
At the great Wilkes Barre, Pa, hill
climb, May 80, 1908, up the famous 6OO0-ft.
(about II miles) course Of Giants De-
snair Mountain, a CHADWICK SIX stock
ear (stripped for racing) startled its COM
petitors and all persons familiar with the
23M per cent, by simply smothering the
steam racing machine record by margin
of II seconds, and establishing new
record of / minute 3S 2-5 seconds.
This same car was Immediately sent to
worcester, Mass, where week later, II
established the gasoline record of So sec
onds for the steep, rough one-mile run
l1p Dead Horse Hill, defeating the hith-
erto famous 80 II. p. Mercedes Flying
Dutchman"; also previous record of 1
minute seconds made by 12O H. P. Dar-
racq racing machine as well as a large
field of the representative STOCK and racing
machines OF the country.
One week after this victory CHAD
WICK stock car won the big Cleveland
HiIl Climb by negotiating the half-mile
grade UP Porter Mountain in 36 seconds,
defeating by a margin Of seconds the
hitherto formidable hill climbing compet-
itors right in their home factory city of
Cleveland.

EXPLOSION SHOCK

Bloomfield and Glen Ridge Are
Shaken.

The. shock of the explosion at the
powder works in Wayne was plainly
felt in Glen Ridge and Bloomfield and
caused much excitement in town and
borough. 1t was q dep rumbling sound
and at the time there was not the
slightest breeze in evidence. The ground
seemed to shake and the doors OF some
of the houses In the Morris %neighbor-
hood section were thrown open. People
ran from their homes in their excite
inent and some of them fell on their
knees and began to pray.
Dishes on the tables In houses ratified
and buildings in Glenwood avenut
swaved and seemed about to fall
Everybody believed that 1t vas an
earthquake.
There were three distinct shocks. In
the home OF Mrs. Charles Machette, in
East Passaic avenue, in the Brookdalc
section of the town, dishes fell from
the shelves in a closet and landed or
the floor with a crash.

people thought it was an earthquake
and awaited in anxiety a severer quake.
When that did not arrive the other ex-

the tirnid were treasured.
