VANDERBILT Cup.
Greatest American Drivers and
the Speediest Cars.
Contest for Supremacy in the
Automobile Classic.
MACHINES DIVIDED
Into Four Glasses in Trial for
Trophies.
The Race Course Is 11.61 Miles
in Length.

New York, Oct. 3o.-Today is the
banner day of the year in American
automobile circles. It is the day upon
which the greatest American drivers,
plotting the speediest of cars, drive
and strive for victory in the American
automobile classic. the Vanderbilt cup
race. The fact that the Automobile
Club Of America has abandoned the
grand prize held at Savannah last
Thanksgiving, gives the Vanderbilt
full sweep in the fall auto racing cir
cles.
Cars are divided into four classes
for the big race. going after different
trophies simultaneously. Two classes
for the higher priced and powered
cars go over the route for the Wander
Silt cup. while the smaller cars go
shorter distances for the Wheatley
Hills and MaasaDeQua cups.
While the spirit Of international
Tivally characteristic of the earlier
contests is missing this year q mum Der
Of foreign cars are participating. They
no longer race as champions of the
country of their origin. but as cars
owned by individual Americans and
entered for the love of the sport itself.
The passing of the event from an in
ternetional to a national competition
win probably lessen interest in some
quarters, but the enthusiasm of the
general public is indicated by the de-
mand for seats. which is greater than
last year.
Course Is 1884 Miles.
The race Is being held over the
Nassau county course. which Is 12.64
miles long.
The policing arrangements this year
are q great Improvement over previous
years. Sheriff Foster of Nassau
county has organized big force OF
mea and at short intervals the sheriff
and A. r. Pardington have estab-
7ished regular police and flag stations
at which men will be on duty.
These stations are marked by yell
low placard and numbered consecu-
the sheriff, the Pinkerton agency has
about 400 picked uniformed men on
duty. This force is drawn from all
parts of the country and comprises
men who have been on strike and riot
duty in various cities.
Following the precedent set in pre-
vious Vanderbilt cup races, a COM
plete telephone system has been in
stalled around the course. AT each
point at which communication is
likely to be necessary station is es-
tablished and connected with the Of
fetal stand by its own independent
line, and these telephones are in
charge of trained operators.
