Some Of the Races won By Otto
Nestman, and Charles MorE Trial
TOr the vanderbilt Cup IN New YORK
H.. E.. F~redrickson entertained a large
crowd the other afternoon on the site
where the Maxwell garage is in process
Of construction, on Farnam street, by driv-
ing a Hudson ''9O' up the steep sides Of
the basement excavation, ascending 50 per
cent grades through loose dirt.
He pulled the car up places 80 steep that
the gasoline would no longer flow to the
engine.
On Thursday evening Teddy, the cub bear
at Fredrickson's garage, loosened his chain
and went into a neighborfng lot and
climbed to the top Of a big tree. No en-
treaties or offers Of sugar would tempt
him to come down. 1t was a happy in
spiration that prompted one of the boys
to ask the new colored janltor IL he would
please go and bring in the bear He
seemed to have a higher regard for bis
job than he had for his health, as he
seemed to wholly disregard the fact that
the bear was still mad from the former at
tempts that had been made to dislodRe
him. The way that coon skinned up
that tree would indicate that there was
a 'possum at the top instead of a bear"
He showed more confidence than Judgment
when he cornered the animal on a limb
about sixty feet above the ground, and
when the two came together It sounded
like a dog fight. They fought and rolled
and tumbled from limb to limb, first the
man on top and TIM the bear, but the
bear lost and was dragged in humiliation
back to his box. and the %Janitor went
home to get his clothes patched up.
The first six-passenger electric %landaulet
ever built has just been turned out by the
Baker Motor Vehicle company. It was
made for Mrs. Up. Stephens. a society
woman Of Trenton, N. j., and Is one Of
the handsomest cars ever built by the
Baker company.
The body, bonnet and panels are painted
black, while the gear is finished in ma
room, striped with carmine. The upholster-
ing is of maroon hand-buffed leather, CIV
ing an exceedingly rich and ornate finish.
SAYS Mr.. Morse, sales manager Of the
Hudson Motor Car Co.
"As compared with radiators on other
cars It Is very small. It's cooling efficien ~
has been demonstrated again and again,
People who have written to the factory
have found cause to remark that the en-
CINE never heats up" The Hudson radi-
ator is a vertical tube radiator composed
entirely Of brass and copper no tin or
sheet iron is used in the cooling surface
whatever. 1t is obvious that where a radi-
ator is four or five inches thick that the
water passing through the back part Of the
cooling surface throws off but little Of its
heat, as the air having passed over the
heated area ahead approaches the same
temperature as that particular portion of
water. therefore the average car. at any
price, is carrying extra and expensive
weight at that point. In the Hudson
Twenty the radiator is 2A Inches deep
only, thus saving weight where it can do
more good. A small portion Of the material
thus saved is used to increase the front
area of the radiator, improving the ap-
pearance OF the car by proper proportion
ing. The width of the cooling surface Of
The Twenty radiator is "a 1-16 inches
while the height is 1915 inches. Compare
this with any car of half again as much
power. and It is at once evident that there
can be no heating troubles. regardless of
conditions.
It is a new idea in radiator construction
evolved by Mr.. Durham, who designed
the car.
Otto Nestman will be manager Of the
Street-Edwards Co. and will
hereafter demonstrate by every way pos
sible that the Moon, the American and the
Parry are the best cars in this market.
Nestman will have a great field. He will
have cars Of known reputation and won
derfully popular in the other sections OF
the country.
Every automobile man who has kept UT
at all with the procession. knows Nest
man. He began a good many years age
with the Stevens-Duryea people, holding the
position of mechanical designer and wa:
with them when they turned out their first
four cars. He took one of those cars and
went down to Dayton. Fla, and spur
around that track so fast that It made
