Not The least remarkable feature Of a
tnost remarkable race was the fact that
although close 10 100000 persons lined the
course not one OF them was injured in any
way. There were no serious accidents TO
rne drivers OF mechanics. The most Sc
rious occurred when Ralph BeardsIey
crashed his Simplex car into the railroad
bridge at the Sweet BTiar curve, wrecking
the machine. Ethridge, his mechanic, sus-
1ained a fracture Of the arm and was
badly bruised lie was taken 70 the hos
VitaL Beardsley was also bruised, bat not
seriously.
Al Mitchell piled his Chadwick up on the
embankment at the City Line, and both he
and his mechanic, Scout AIalcott. we're in
cured painfully but not seriously.
The policing was responsible for the alb
Eence Of accidents and was fully eff
Uient as in other years. There was man
IN uniform every $50 feet all around the
course and no one was allowed TO cross
the course, no matter what his erTaud.
Several newspaper men from New York
discovered this. but complilueut6d the sys-
TEN which kept them from crossing.
The day was a haIf holiday ia the city
and no business was done after noon.
Many OF the city and stale officials were
present and the Luge grandstand in Elm
avenue was packed with a. merry crowd
Nearly everybody brought luncheon and

The handling OF the cars on the track
was excellent and the first of The biz

away promptly at noon. y. G. Hilton Can
1ert was the starter and he had q task 10
send the men away at ten seconds inter
vaIs. Il. r. Ross. chairman Of the con
test committee, was referee.
The race itself was a rour-cOrnered
fight for fifteen laps among Ralph Null
FORD fLOzlerD, T. x. GerEQOD tBenz), Len
Zeugle (Chadwicl) and Aitken (Naton2D.
At that time Bergdol was forced TO drop
out Of the race, as his engine was hope
Jessiy stalled. This was a great disap-
pointment, as he is q strong favoriJe in
this city and was driving the Benz car
Ior the fun Of the thing.
While this fight for place and position

5he score cards called Hymnal, was lurk-

watching the changing positions Of the
others his face in the heavy, almost eZ-

the spectators at the Vanderbilt race
