LAY BETS ON
SEATTLE RACE
OCEAN TO OCEAN CONTEST
AWAKENS INTEREST
GREAT SPEED CONTEST FILLED
WITH PITFALLS
Magnificent Trophy offered by NJ.
Robert Gussenhelm for American
Manufacturers In Race Across
the Continent

The announcement made last week OF
a transcontinental race from New YORK
to Seattle has aroused enormous IN
terest in motor circles.
The fact that the contest has the In
dorsement of the Alaska Yukon-P PACING
exposition authorities and that the
finish line will be in the exposition
grounds lends to II an objective point
which many contests lack.
Already betting on the time that the
winner will take has commenced, prom
inent forecasters being of the opinion
that the winning car will reach Seattle
in less than twenty days.
The distance by the shortest route IS
1900 miles, so a 20-day schedule would
involve driving practically 200 miles
day.
This mileage is possible in the east
where road conditions are good ana
routes known, but when Wyoming Is
reached with nothing but rutted trans
to mark the way 1t will be good run
ming for any car that can leave lOO mile
posts behind it in days traVei;
M. Robert Guggenheim, the doner OF
the trophy and originator of the race.
is a. sportsman who has been interested
in motor cars for many years. He was
one of the few private owners VINO nad
sufficient sportsmanship to enter his
own car in the Briarcliff race, the
Renault, driven by Block, having been
! owned by him.
Already letters have been sent out to
all automobile manufacturers giving
them an opportunity to lay out the
route. For this work two cars Will De

York and Chicago. and the other leav-

cars will start on March 10, while the
date of the race proper will be set for
either May 10 or June l, according 10
the condition of the road as reported
by local automobile clubs and hotels.
! Neither the public nor the manufac-
turer is especially interested in arbi-
trary penalizations based upon the pos
sible loss of an unimportant bolt or
nut Motorists and intending buyers
are intensely interested in knowing

aroused by the contest of drivers In

DIAMOND COMPANY PUTS
OUT A MOUNTAIN TIRE

G. t. Mathewson, Pacific coast man
ager of the Diamond Rubber compa-
ny, located at San Francisco, who is in
Seattle at this time experimenting the
opening of a new branch at that point,
states the outlook for business in that
section is very bright for the coming
season.
OF particular interest to the north
west motorists has been the advent OF
the Diamond mountain tread tire, put
out by the Diamond company.

man Hover of the contest board noti-
fed the Everitt- Metzger- Flanders COM
pany this week that their car had been
selected for the arduous service. And
arduous it will be for certainty. The
route, while not definitely announced,
will be through several middle-west and
western states-Illinois, Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas and possibly as far west as
Colorado-so that every manner of road
will be encountered.
AS the pathfinding will have to be
done in the months of April and May,
1t will come just at the worst time in
the whole year, when the spring fresh
cts are on in the Missouri valley, and
when the Iowa and Missouri gumbo
roads are almost impossible.
Looking for Tough Roads
That the 1909 Glidden route will con-
stitute a vastly more severe test on
the cars participating. is the intention
of the committee. But the tour itself
begins July 5, that date being chosen as
promising the most favorable road con-
ditions in that territory. which admit
tedly has the worst roads in America.
If the tour. in July, will be strenuous
one, what of the car which must cover
the same 1000 miles twice at a season
when the mud is hub-deep and the
rainy days may he expected to exceed
the fairer weather?
The same car that does the path
finding must also act as confetti car.
Calculating one round trip as path
finder over 1000 miles that will con-
stitute the tour-not to mention side
trips to ascertain the comparative
goodness of different routes-and other
round trip as confetti car. the EMF
$50" will have covered a thousand
miles before its work is done. =
You can buy IL. perhaps at many places. but
there's one BEST place to buy it-and that
place advertises.

William b. Hurlbut, the well known
New York manager who shortly takes
the management of the New York
branch of the E. r. Thomas Motor Car
company, will. in all probability, be a
competitor in the stock car races at Or

has been DESTROYS of competing on the

now at hand. Should he make the trip
south, Mr.. Hurlbut will drive a Thomas

pure matter of fact his rating has been
