CAUTIOUS R RACERS.
Prominent ChauiTrurs Rarely Arrested
fer Speeding,

The men who drive auto mobiles in
races said a man who is. interested in
cars, -also run machines in the streets a
great deal. either for their own diversion
OF as part OF their contracts with those
who hire them: and / notice that only
on rare occaaions are any OF these men
arrested for exceeding the speed limit
in the city here or in the country round
about. In fact, l can recall just now the
names OF only two men who few
days after races in which they drove
their cara in first came afoul OF the bicycle
policemen and were taken in.
1T may be for q variety OF reasons
that so few OF the many racing drivers
ever get into trouble. The most inn
portant, believe. is that these drivers
have fine control OF the cars they drive
and moreover have a great deal Of eau
ton. There Is no nickname that racing
automobile chauffeur dislikes more than
that of daredevil.
Aside from their control and caution.
these drivers really don't 60 very fast in
the streets. II they hit it up between
blocks they always slow up at the cross
ings. Then. too, most OF them get to be
known to the police. who aren't really

know the drivers really are expert
