AND HUNGRY RoeuES
Human SpOnEes who Know How to
work Their Friends for
Meals.

The most bare-faced rogues in all Chris
tendon dwell in Boston. These chaps are
not porch climbers nor are they malefac-
tors of great wealth, although their per-
formances partake of the most evil quail
tiles of both. The twain of which 1 speak
are nominally and ostensibly, even osten-
tatiously, members Of good society, and
are not usually recognized as the frauds
they are. All the greater shall be their
reward-when ii comes.
The particular episode into which all the
malevolent venom of these parasites vas
quintessenced occurred just the other day.
Here is the story stripped OF all obscur-
ing and foggy covering. These two are
tennis takers. AS to their Skillet that
pass. By much talking on the subject they
enlisted the attention OF an unsuspecting
companion one day at the lunch table.
This person lives outside Boston, Of course.
Otherwise he would not have been en-
SHARED. Hearing their talk and being him
self a genuine lover Of the game. he was
thoughtlessly generous enough to invite
this couple to spend an afternoon at his
tennis club about forty OF fifty miles from
the Hub. Their acquaintance was instant
aneous and correspondingly greedy. Yet
the countryman did not suspect.
Inc DAY came. Inc pair were mi
on hand and ate their hosts luncheon
with enthusiasm. Then all three, together
with an obliging club member, went out
upon the tennis court and started the game.
"A pleasant time was had" Suddenly, al
leges one of the guilty pair, the sun went
down and 10! to their CONSERVATION, they
discovered it was I o'clock. Mine host,
who had probably made several double
faults watching that suns decline, was
game" and ignoring the fact tina his
guests were invited for the afternoon and
not the evening, insisted that they take
dinner with him. Loud were their protesta-
tiOns. Oh, no, they would go to town at
once, they would by no means inflict them
selves upon him, etc. In fact, their pro-
testations and graceful acquiescences took
up a good thirty minutes. Later Inner
was served, followed by other things, Of
course. These Boston sponges exerted
themselves to their utmost to please and
amuse the man who was paying the bill.
One OF them actually tried to sing. Mean
while the clock kept ticking way, kept
ticking away, kept ticking away until at
last, when, talked dry, they rose to so,
they were Informed that the last train for
Boston had gonel Again their host was
game. He saw he was sold. his pockets
rifled. and his goodwill marketed. but he
did net whlmper. stay all night at the
club, Of course" OF course.
Next morning about 10 o'clock two young
men. upon whose countenances the plain
impress Z guilt still fingered, might have
been seen alighting from a-tTain az the

Effectiveness Of the race has been greatly
increased this year by the shortening Of
the course from twenty odd miles to 1894
miles, Of which sis miles will be on the
Motor Parkway proper and the remaining
I49 miles on the highways of Nassau
county.
This change was made at the request OF
the manufacturers. and no one who wit
messed the Lowell race, but will endorse
their action, as the short course not only
insures a much closer contest, but prevents
long waits between cars during the last
half of the race and keeps the public in
terest at concert pitch from start TO finish.
Briefly, the course for this years race
will start at the grandstand and thence
run east for two miles along the Parkway
to MassaPequa Lodge. The cars then turn
north on a specially constructed cutoff,
scientifically banked, on to the Massapequa
road, which leads directly to the outskirts
of the Hicksville village, Here the cars
turn west on the old country road to
Westbury, thence south through another
special cutoff, back TO the Parkway at
Meadow Brook Lodge, where the course
turns east again and returns TO the grand
stand.
Manager A. r. Pardington a~nnounces
that more oil will be put on the course
this year than was ever provided for a
race of this character, Another idea which
will appeal to the manufacturers is thai at
least two full weeks win be allowed for
preliminary practice. 1t is now arranged
that the course will be open for practice
every day, exclusive Of Sundays, from
October IA to %, inclusive, between the
hours OF 8 and 5 a. m, and during these
hours none but contestants will be allowed
on the course. There are only four turns
on the course, and no hills, so experts
have good reason for thinking that all
American records will be smashed on
October 80.

addition to this, invitations will be sent to
carriage dealers in the same states, SWELL
ing the number to about 1000. The cour-
tesies Of the show will be extended to these
dealers gratuitously.
As is we'll known, the show is being held
at the time Of year when money is free in
the south. The planters have harvested
their crops and will receive about $780, OO,-
600. Banks have increased surpluses, mer-
chants and store proprictors have done a
good business, and, in brief. practically all
the southern higher classes are in a posi-
ton to buy motor cars and accessories All
this makes doubly sure the success of the
automobile show.

BIG AUTO RACE IN THE SOUTH
Atlanta VIII BE Mecca for the Best
Cars.

SAEbs
NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Entry blanks have
oeen Issued for what has every indication
OF being the most pretentious
race ever staged in this country The
opening motorcar carnival of the Atlanta
association, which will be con-
tested in the new motordrome, Atlanta.
Ga, from November 9 to 10, bids fair to
surpass even the recent meeting at the In
~dianapolis speedway. A program Of thirty
two events has been arranged, providing
FOR races between every type OF motor We
hicle and at nearly every practical distance
known to the automobile racing game. Very
liberal monetary inducements are offered
as prizes for the different events and the
usual quota OF cups are available.
One-mile time trials, two-mile free-for-all,
four-mile free-for-all, six-mile stock chas-
sis, eight-mile free-foC-all, ten-mile stock
chassis, twelve-mile stock chassis, twenty
mile free-for-all, twenty-mile stock car,
twenty-four-mile stock chassis, flfty-mile
free-for-all. 1OO-mlle stock chassis, 12O-mlle
stock chassis and two 20O-mlle stock chassis
races form a part Of the card. In more
than one case there are several events OF
the aforementioned classes on the pro-
gram, the difference being the matter Of
piston displacement qualifications.
reports from Georgia state that the cir
cult is very speedy. Considerable time has
been spent to perfect this phase OF the con-
struction. Large grandstands have been
erected and descriptions OF the motordrome
make it appear that the new raceway is
indeed a model product, The promoters
took the lesson OF the indianapolis speed
way TO heart and every care has been taken
to guard against the possibilities OF acct
dent.
With a view to learning the real worth
OF the track from expert opinions. the
management OF the motOrdrome has re-
quested a party OF prominent motorists
from this city to make the "trip to Atlanta
and look over the circuit. George Robert
son and Ralph De Palma, the two wen
known drivers, will go and pilot cars
around the course. Fred J. Wagner, the
automobile race starter, will accompany
them. Charles Basic, Nho was one OF the
winning crew at the last twenty-four-hour
race, may be in the party.
The present plan Is for the motorists to
leave for Atlanta Immediately after the
Fairmount Park race at Philadelphia, on
October .. This VIII allow plenty OF time
for the trip. so that the return can be
made to this city In time for the Wander
bIt cup contest on october 81 The meet

exhortations. The women screamed when
stuck by the yellow Jackets, and manJ
of the men said things that had no
churchly sound.
After standing for the singing a few
minutes, the congregation got into a panic
and bolted from the church, leaving the
sacred edifice in possession OF the yellow
Jackets.
Five hundred men, women and children
put lotion on "stung' spots that night.

The services were at high tension, the
preacher being engaged in calling sinners
to the mourning bench, when the yellow
jackets began to dart out from their nests
and sting saints and sinners alike. In a
few minutes there seemed to be thousands
of the spiteful insects flying about the
church and darling their stings into the
brethren and sisters.
The preacher was one OF the first to be
stung, and the pain put q stop to his

has created considerable interest in local
motoring circles, as well as all through the
south. Reports from Atlanta state that en-
tries a-plenty have been promised and there
is every reason to expect that the inaugu-
ration of the new motordrome will be at
tended with success.

VANDERBILT CUP RACE PLANS
Forty Cars May Compete in Classic
Event on LONG Island.
RULES OF RACE ARE CHANGED
All Cars VIII He stock Chassis of
1910 Model md should Give
Great to Auto
Business.

NEW YORK. oct. 7.-Great interest is
being displayed on the part Of manufac-
turers and private owners in the approach
ing Vanderbilt cup race, which Is TO take
place October so i'm Nassau county, Long
Island. Many entries have been made
already. and it is assured that a large
field, possibly thirty-five or forty cars,
will be at the starting line when the great
race is started.
Clifford V. Brokaw announced the other
day that he would enter his Isotta
Fraschin IN the Vanderbilt, and he
selected the veteran driver, Joe Seymour,
TO pilot his car in the race. Two other
notable entries are the National cars that
competed in the races at the opening meet
on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. These
two cars made a splendid showing with
Aiken and Merz as drivers, and they will
have the same men at the wheels in the
Vanderbilt.
The last obstacle in the way OF the
running OF the Vanderbilt cup race was
removed a few days ago when the Contest
Board OF the American Automobile as
ISOLATION granted a sanction to the Motor
Cups Holding company to hold the contest,
There was never any doubt that 4 change
had to be made in the rules OF the Amcri-
can Automobile association so as to pro-
vide for the large entry Zee OF the Wander
bilt. The rules of the American Automo-
bile association stipulated that sanction
could only be granted for a race in which
the prize or trophy offered was not worth
ten times the value Of the entry fee, The
entry fee for the different classes in the
Vanderbilt range from $3.50 10 $500.
The Vanderbilt cup race suffered a
temporary setback last year, owing TO the
trouble between the American Automobile
association and the Automobile Club OF
America, but this year, with the clImina-
ton OF the grand prize contest, the
Vanderbilt cup looms up greater than be
fore. The Lowell race was a splendid con-
test. the Long Island derby was
also a notable event, and the Philadelphia
Fairmont park race this week furnished
a wonderful contest. The Vanderbilt
must take rank above all OF these, anC
with any sort OF favorable weather it vii
attract larger crowds than any Of the Other
events.

one reason that this years race should
have a better influence on trade conditions
generally is that this fall, for the first
time. all Of the cars will be strictly stock
classes of the 1910 models sold to the public,
which will be seen In competition for the
first time.
