cars. a Selden car acting as pilot, and
driven by NJ NJ Mauger; a Washing
ton. with J. L. Wclch at the wheel, and
the EMF Press car. piloted by F.

which made the trans-cOntinentai tour

start appeared TO be that q splendid

while il would tax both cars and drivers
from an endurance standpoint, was Yet
not too strenuous for cars OF standard
make as they are built at the present
time. All seemed TO welcome the i'm

them on controls Is likely 20 be one Of
the keenest possible character
