Rosa and Healdsburg in
Fast Time
By R. R. L'HOMMEDIEU

By R. R. L'HOMMEDIEU
The Santa Rosa Healdsburg record, a
distance of 16 miles. which has previ-
ously been made in from 35 to 40 min
utes with automobiles, was lowered a
few days ago by a stock EMF go"
touring car in 20 minutes fat, and that
at time of the year when the roads
were in terrible shape in the bad
places
While the record which was made
by L. S. Quinan of San Francisco is not
in any sense of the word an official
one, yet it is we'll known by automobile
enthusiasts that he clipped from 10 to
Is minutes off the previous stock car
records in touring conditions.
The lowering of the record was ac-
complished while Quinan was demon
strating the EMF to DR.. Herbert
Frenzel
According to Quinan, who is now in
this city, for five miles out of Santa
Rosa the road was in bad shape, and
not more than 15 miles an hour could
be made Similar conditions were en-
countered between Windsor and Grant
station, a distance of three and a half
miles. On the good stretches of road,
Quinan says, his. motor was turning

according to the speedometer on his
machine.
Quinan also relates another interest
ing run he made with his EMF on
the day that he left for San Francisco
He left Healdsburg at $3.50 in the after
noon, and arrived in Petaluma at
o'clock, distance of 33 miles, which
he made in 20 minutes, the exact time
consumed by the trains in making the

ering distance greater than the
trains. Considerable bad roads were
encountered between the two points,
and on the stretches the speedometer
on his car was up to the 55 mile point
