Place Today.

GARDEN CITY. l.. l.. Oct. 29.-Al-
though the race fer the Vanderbilt
cup will start NJ . O'Clock in the
morning instead Of at daybreak as IN
former years, the same fantastic
scenes which in former years nave
made the night before the race 80
picturesque and weird were enacted
again tonight during the hours which
preceded the unloading of the 26 cars
which will start as competitors Tor
the famous trophy.
BEGINNING at nightfail the roads
leading 10 the grandstand and TO the
vantage points along the course were
alive with the whirr and clatter OF
automobiles. churning their way past
sleeping farmhOIses and landscape
with light. Nearer the course the
machines came to be numbered in
thousands and peanut vendors. hot
coffee hucksters, fruit peddlers and
thrifty farmers with everything to
sell from sandwiches and programs
to parking places. mingled with the
crowd CRYING their wares.
Increased Interest.
Increased interest attaches 10 the
contest owing to the fact that the
race must run over a circuit which Is
ut 1854 miles long. This means that
there will be twice as many turns as
last year. when the course measured
23.i6 miles. When it is considered
ty-siX cars running simultaneously
instead of seventeen as was the case
last year. and that the drivers are not
as experienced as those for former
years. some idea of the danger may
be had
