miles. This is but 81 miles less than
the distance covered in the Vanderbilt
race on Long Island last year. The
Cobe cup race on the Crown Point

of the meet, is seventeen laps which IS
los miles longer than the Long Island
route.
1t will furnish one of the severest
tests of automobile stability in the his
tory of motor car racing. In fact, it
is said by many drivers that the pilot
who best saves his car will win both
races.
Final work on the cars for tomor-
rows race was done today. Drivers
and machinists examined every part of
their machines The course is in good
condition. Better than mile a min
ute has been made in practice, and al
though there were some severe bumps,
these were no more numerous than is
to be expected in a race of the present
length
Colonel Joseph B. Sanborn and nine
hundred men of the First regiment, L.
N. c., by special permission of the gov
ernor of Indiana will arrive with full
equipment from Chicago tonight. They
will patrol the entire course during
both races.
