Registration indicates 4 Bio Vote.

The total registration IN the city
at the close of Tue .day's registra-
ton was, 1923, a showing of some
45O above the numb OF votes cast
in the city two years ago, and while
it is probable that some of those
registered may not be able to get to
the polls on election day it is more
than likely that enough new voters
will be sworn in on that day to make
the vote of the city 1900 or more.
This is one of the best evidences
of the growth of Virginia during
the past twenty-four months, and
the registration in the various wards
also tends to show in what sections
of the city this growth has been
most pronounced. The First Ward
shows up as the banner ward with
a total of 254, while the Third Ward
comes in second with registration
of 255. While some of the wards
have lost through the rearrange-
ment of ward lines the territories
included show up we'll with the
past vote of the precinct in each
instance with the exception of the
Second Ward, which was formerly
the big ward of the city but which
now shows uD with the smallest
number registered of any precinct,

his subscription in advance in ac.

conscience and the laws of the
country which gave him birth, and
in the course of conversation natur-
ally reverted to the time-honored
figure of speech that it was "beauti.

confirming reply the gentleman re,
marked further that the weather
was exceptional for this season. as
he noted by the election filings that
"cowslips had already commenced
to sprout." We also felt constrain-
ed to acqu1esce in this piece OF
satire, but could not refrain from
predicting killing frost on Tues
day next, which will in all likeli

.AUTOMOB!L|STS ENJOY
NOVEL MYSTERY TOURS

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 20.-A new
type of tour has been arranged by au-
tomobilists of this city and vicinity,
and is known as the tour of mystery"
Fifty motor cars and nearly 200 people
assembled at University park last
Sunday morning. Only two people In
the entire party knew where the tour
lists were to go, and they would not tell.
The only direction given was follow
the confetti" and this they did for 15O
miles throughout the day.
One of the quaintest sections of this
country was selected by the pathfinders
for their destination, a little village
where the Dutch settlers still wear
wooden shoes and smoke long clay
pipes, and where the outside world has
had no visible effect. This place is
callet Batesville, and there are few
people, even in this vicinity, who know
of the interesting sights to be found
there.
Before the cars left in the morning
each passenger was given a card on
which to guess the destination, the dis
tance and the schedule time which was
to be followed. Valuable prizes of au-
tomobile accessories were awarded to
those who came nearest the correct an
sWer.
An important feature of the day was
the picnic, for each party had to take
along lunch and stop was made early
on the return trip in a shady grove.
The start was made at 8 o'clock and 1t
was about when the caravan re-
turned.

OLDFIELD USES KNOX IN
ALL STOCK CAR EVENTS
Barney Talks About How He
Feels in a Race

Barney Oldfield's interests are close
ly allied with the Knox company, as
he drives a powerful six-cylinder Knox
called in the racing lists the Giant. AL
though it is generally understood that
Oldfield is a free lance, he drives a
Knox car in all stock car events. With
this car he has knocked records to
pieces in all parts of the country, driv-
ing with the same skill and daring as
he has piloted other big cars.
Oldfield purchased his Knox about a
wear ago and said at that time that
he had watched the various makes of
stock cars on the lookout for con-
stancy as we'll as speed fiexibility. So
with the Knox he has done much not
only to draw the attention of the auto
mobiling public to himself but to the
company as well.
Speaking about the dangers of rae
ing automobiles, Oldfield does not deny
that there are times when the driver
of a speed car enters his seat with a
feeling that in all probability he will
be lucky if he gets out of it alive.
when | have started my car, .how-
ever" says Oldfield, then all that
sentiment is forgotten. 1t is win, and
nothing but win, no matter what the
cost. Beat the other man and trust
that your car will hold together on
the turns"
Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-21

to New York again, and 1t was due
almost solely to his efforts that the
car was ever able to make the trip,
as they were snowbound, washed out
and generally kicked around for
months on this trip. Griffin and Hay
cock are unknown tc the writer, but
the factory claims they are two of the
best factory testers they ever had.
There has never been a stunt pulled
off in the United States that deserves
the support that this one does from
the local newspapers. 1t is the great
est automobile run ever made by any
car under any circumstances. A man
must have phenomenal luck to make
the time that Mr.. Whitman has made,
we do not care how good a car is. A
matter of five minutes lost every hour
amounts to day and a quarter on
the trip This will give you some idea
of how the car must have been plug
ging all the time, day in and day out.
There have been several records, So
called, made across the country. For
instance, the Mercer man will tell you
that the record of the Mercer car
across the country is something like
325 hours, yet 1t is a matter of record
that it took Mr.. Bigelow twenty-six
and one-half days to get from New
York city to Los Angeles. Mr.. Bige-
low figured out how much time he
lost along the way ana SuDJraCIeQ Ifl1S
from the elapsed time of the run. for
the benefit of the Mercer publicity
man. There is nothing fair about a
record of this kind, and it is very un-
sportsmanlike to even mention 1t with
out stating distinctly to the questioner
that it is running time and not elapsed
time. A man might go from here to
New York city at an average speed of
fifty miles an hour on running time;
it is an absolute possibility to do it.
For instance, he could run one mile a
day and go just as fast as the car
could possibly travel; in some cases
this would be seventy-five or eighty
miles an hour; in others it might not
be over twenty, but it would average
up at an enormous rate of speed, If
anything happened to the car on the
one-mile trip he could stop a week or
two and fix it up. send to the factory
for new parts and make the next mile.
This is merely to illustrate the utter
absurdity of running time records. The
only record that should have the rec
ognition of the newspapers is the
elapsed time between two points.
Mr. Whitman in the REQ arrived in
Los Angeles at 6:52 Saturday, making
the trip from New York here in
IL days, 21 hours and 81 seconds.
The distance covered was ALSO miles.
The only other car to come across to
Los Angeles in a time contest was the
Mercer recently. and the record then
made was 261a days.
