Local automobile enthusiasts expressed
wonderment when a remarkable record of
tire efficiency was told in latest reports
of the recent races at Santa Ana and
Mt. Badly, Cal.
In the five and twenty-ftve-mile races at
Santa Ana the Buick car, using the same
Goodyear tires which had borne the racer
under the wire in second place In the ECO
mile contest at Santa Monica was victor
In two terrific finishes.
This feat was extraordinary, in view of
the numerous tire changes that are usually
made necessary by the tremendous wear
and tear during the grind of tire-destroying
automobile races. Another Buick, a tourist.
a Ford and Royal tourist cars, in the same
race meeting, were equipped with the same
brand of tires that the victorious car used.
In the thrilling Mt. Badly race the vic
torious Pope-Hartford laid its success to
the fact tina during the tense moments
towards the end of the fierce grind iti
Goodyear tires stood the strain admirably,
this being one of the factors which con-
tributed to the victory.

Witnessed by a throng of more than
5OO,O0O people, the Fairmont Park road
race on October 9 at Philadelphia proved
to be one of the leading automobile events
of the year and brought out one of the
largest entry lists of world-famous racing
men brought together this season. There
were twenty-three starters, twelve of them
having from sixty-horse power to ninety
horse power, and the average speed of
the winner, George Robertson, in a ninety
horse power Simplex was fifty-five miles
per hour. The sensation of the race, how
ever, was the performance of the Chalm-
ers-Detroit Forty, which finished a close
second, defeating eleven cars rated at
sixty-horse power or more, and being
awarded without dispute the consistency
prize for running the entire 200 miles with
out a single stop, not even for gasoline
or water. The last half of the event
would have been a runaway rather than

that this car, selling at less than half

only competitor and defeat such a large

press gives these facts more space than
any other feature of the race.
The w. L. Huffman Automobile company
has received a large shipment of 1910 Re-

and will sell for 81, $50. This order is much
