Twenty-one Of the twenty-three drivers
that entered the amateur ten hour endur-
ance contest Of the New Jersey Automobile
and Motor Club started away from the
clubhouse In Park place, Newark. yester-
day morning In the event which had been
postponed from last Saturday. Fifteen
OF the contestants finished the run OF about
200 miles, during which the engines were
to be kept running. and all OF the survivors
except two made perfect scores. The
slippery roads and pavements were re-
sponsible for a lot OF skidding. which put
several cars out Of the contest. and one
man was badly though not seriously In
jured. The course was to HaCkettstown
and back to Newark. the distance being
90 miles for each round.
The injured man was r.. n. Carter. a
student Of Stevens Institute at Hoboken.
who acted as ofioial observer for the club
on the 20 horsepower Mitchell, driven by
ID. j.. Scott. The car struck a telegraph
pole during the first round Of the 90 mile
course and Carter was thrown out OF his
seat, his collarbone being broken. He
WA taken to Hackettstown. where his
broken collarbone was attended to by a
physician. The mishap forced Mr.. Scott
TO withdraw from the contest.
c. II. Good. who had entered his 20 horse
power Flat baby tonneau touring car In
class G., started from his home In Jersey
City early yesterday morning to drive
to the starting point. He got into trouble
while crossing the road through the
Meadows, one Of the wheels coming on his
car, and this delayed him SO much that he
| did not arrive AZ the clubhouse In Newark
until an hour and q half after the last car
had been sent AWAY. DR.. Emil MAutner,
who had entered Q Ford runabout In class
A, was the other non-starter.
None Of the four starters in Glass A., for
cars Of 20 horsepower and less. made per-
feet scores. Mr.. Scott retired after his en-
counter with the telegraph pole. J.: j. G.
