on by ali the tourists in the contest.
Pullman Disabled.
The Pullman car, No. 81. was dis !
abled at Saugerties. fifty miles out from |
Albany. and did not report at the night |
control Early this morning. however. |
the car was on the job with Nat futile |
again at the wheel. ready TO drive the |
car over the entire course.
The tourists are hoping that good
weather will prevail for the rest Of the |
trip The wet rains Of early yesterday
morning played havoc with the running
time of many OF the cars which found
difficulty in keeping up TO their sched- |
ules over roads where every turn meant
a skid. In certain parts of Massachu-
sets, TO be travelled today, no tire
chains are allowed and as some of the
roads are not in the best of condition.
It would be practically impossible for
the cars TO do their best II the highways
were slippery and they are not allowed
20 use chains.
