LONG FIGHT FOR AUTO

HorC the Automobile Club Of Amer

Organized first in June. 1899. by thirty men
who either owned were interested in auto

started with a fight, not only for its own exist
ence but for that Of the automobile and its
users At that time there was the most intense
aninosity against the new form OF vehicle and
motor cars. already excluded from the parks Of
this city, were in danger of being ruled off the
streets.
It was to cope with such conditions as we'll as
provide pleasant quarters and place for caring
for their cars that the original members of the
club formed their organization. To overcome
the prejudice they found that 70 organize SEN
tinent for good roads and to make the com
munity at large see the benefits that lay in the
general introduction OF self propelled vehicles
was no easy task. but the club has had great
part in the successful accomplishment OF its
aims. aided as it has been all over the country
by younger organizations.
A sane development Of the sporting possibili-
ties Of the motor car has always been part or
the objects of the club and from its first con-
test, on April II, 1900 to the splendid race for
It's Grand Prize last Thanksgiving Day, whole
some competition has been promoted. It has
held road races, stock car contests endurance
runs. beginning with the great trip to Buffalo in
1901; sealed bonnet contests and tours, and 1t
has never surrendered to commercialism in the
conduct Of its contests.
One of the greatest works of the club has been
the establishment and maintenance of its bureau
of tours, the benefcent features OF which have
been made available. at a small cost to non
members Of the club. This bureau has mapped
out hundreds of sections where the tourist loves
70 take his car, and has issued innumeraole
route cards.

quick detachable connections, the sub-frame, with
the entire power plant mounted thereon, can be
drawn forward until II is completely detached from

oDeration and can be effected in a few minutes
with no tools but an ordinary wrench
