over to the. local Studebaker branch,
which would be in keeping with the
E. ME- interests. Personally, there has
been no friction on the coast. and it
was merely matter of business The
public knows how well we think of the
car, SO nothing need be said on that
point. We, however, will secure an
other car to complete our line.

The most remarkable showing of any
of the dare devils was that OF Gill An
derson in new Marion racer The
| timers were dumfounded when the first
| trip over the two and a half mile oval
was made in PIP. Round after round
was made with remarkable consistency.
| The following times were caught for
various distances during the speed test
10 miles, S:5S; 25 miles, 22:1S; so miles,
| 44:27; IS miles, $3.50. and 100 miles,
! S7:35.
| An average speed of 6S.5 miles an
| hour was maintained for the entire dis
| tance. BY comparing this average with
the time taken at any of the intermedi-
ate distances is can easily be seen that
| the actual speed of the car never var
| led more than three miles an hour at
any time from start to finish.
