WILDWOOD RACE
ASSURED SUCCESS
Cars Will Leave Local Club
house at 5 O'clock Next
Saturday Morning.

Already seven contestants have signi-
ned their intention to enter the roada-
bility run which will be held by the
New Jersey Automobile n Motor Club
on Saturday next.
As the entries do not close until the
morning Of the event. it is expected
that q large number Of cars will be in
line when the start is made from the
clubhouse on Park place at 8 o'clock;
Those who have already signified
their intention to take the run to South
Jersey are w. C. Crosby, H. A. Bonnell,
C. e. Riess, of East Orange; J.. Dykers
Nichols, of Bernardsville; A. g.. Vogt,
OF Newark; j. ". w. Westervelt, of
Glen Ridge, and DR.. Arthur Stern, of
Elizabeth.
The affair is, of course, a pleasure
run, Sunday being spent by the motor
lists In wildwood, near Cape May, and
an opportunity afforded to see the
straightaway races that will be held
there on the 9Th. 4
For the run down the coast, the
Motor Club of Wildwood has offered a
handsome trophy to the owner of the
cal. that arrives closest to a secret time
schedule. This gives all cars an equal
chance in the race and yet compels the
driver to do a little figuring as to the
RATE of speed to be maintained in order
to arrive at the time he thinks is
proper.
From present indications. many club
members will run down the jersey
shore that day in their cars to watch
the races. and the affair promises to be
successful from every standpoint.

THE GLIDDEN O P

One of the handsomest and most
elaborate trophies ever offered for any
automobile event is the Detroit cup
which will go to the car with a minia-
ture tonneau that makes the best score
in the A.. A. "A. touring contest that
starts from Detroit, Mich, July IL. This
trophy is a remarkable one in the first
place because $3.50 to purchase it was
appropriated from the funds of the city
of Detroit and Mayor Breitmeyer find
ing this insufficient to get what he
wanted added $3.50 personally.
The trophy is a porcelain urn resting
upon a square PEDESTAL in which there
is a clock. The whole piece stands
about three feet In height, is hand
painted and ornate. 1t is considerably
out of the usual az a trophy and is al
together desirable.
Numbers have now been allotted to
the cars for the A. A. A. touring con-
tests and the cars sorted into groups
according to the trophy for which they
are entered. Among the latest entries
is a White steamer that will use moth
ing but kerosene as fuel on the tour.
