LEFT HAND CONTROL is
POPULAR WITH DRIVERS
President of oIds Company Declares
New Idea Will in Few Years
Be Universal

Judging by the deluge of en-
thusiastic letters which we are con-
stantly receiving from doctors, real
estate men, collectors and hundreds of
other professional and business men.
commencing us on the new left-hand
drive, we are more and more convinced
that Within-a year or two it will Be the
exception and not the rule to see a
high grade and popular car equipped
with the right-hand CONTROL" says r.
E. Olds, president of the REQ Motor
Car company. Among our selling or
ganization, comprising no less than
1000 skilled motorists, have yet to
find the first man who would go back
to the old right-hand CONTROL The
unanimous opinion seems to be that
the left-hand drive is the proper con-
troll whether a man drives his car him.
self or employs a chauffeur or whether
the car was bought for business or for
pleasure"
by steering with the right hand and
leaving the left hand fre at all times
to shift the levers or the emergency
brakes, it is plain that confusion is re-
duced to a minimumF while comfort,
safety, economy and efficiency are as
surely brought to a maximum. Within
a year there very likely will be local
ordinances adopted in every city in
this country similar to those which
now obtain in all of our larger cities.
These compel all vehicles to be so
placed and headed on public thorough
fares that the right side of the vehicle
is next to the curbing. When that
time comes I doubt very much if many
more cars will be built with the right
hand drive. There will be so strong a
demand then for the left-hand drive
that If will be like trying to stop the
tide with a pitchfork if a maker of
motor cars then argues in favor of the
old right-hand control. We are there
fore content with leaving the matter
wholly with our 1910 -1atrons, who are
unanimously in favor of the new, safer,
more convenient and more practical
Ieft-hand control"

Southern State Averages

Hixon and Dixon, both of the Santa
Monica club, are the king pins of the
stick pins of the Southern State league,
according to the official batting and
fielding average of that organization.
But as the Santa Monica club is the
junior member of the league it is
hardly fair to such consistant clouter
as Patch of the Long Beach team to
call them his superiors, although they
may figure higher in the percentage
column. Patch has faced an opposing
twirler thirty-six times, and out of
that number of trips to the plate has
secured fourteen safe bingles. From
that record it seems that Long Beach
really is entitled to the honor. Follow

TWO MILE A MINUTE SPEED is
CONSIDERED FEASIBLE
Best Known Handlers of Automobiles
Give Testimony to Jack
Princes Skill as
Designer

That all the leading drivers have alb
solute confidence in the capacity of the
Los Angeles motordrome to produce a
speed OF two miles minute with per-
feet safety is shown by their testi-
Inony to that effect. Without exception
they agree that such speed is not
only feasible, but absolutely safe.
The opinions of leading drivers are
shown in the following testimonial
which they drew up and presented to
Designer Jack Prince:

racing drivers and officials hereby
state. from actual experience, that the
proposed automobile track built of
wood as Mr.. Prince is erecting at Los
Angeles will unquestionably be the
safest and fastest track ever built. We
have known Mr.. Prince as a race track
builder for many years. and his ex-
perience in different parts of the
world and the fact that he is an old
racing man himself has taught him
just how to build the fastest and safest
kind of track to eliminate sideslip,
skidding and dust. We do not hesitate
to state that in our opinion track
such as he proposes, i. e., one mile
perfectly circular, will hold a speed of
two miles in minute and be practical

ElkS DAY PROVED TO BE
AN UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS

they knew that their suspicion was
not unfounded. The only explanation
that Peake could give the judges was
that his wires became crossed and
short circuit was made, causing his
mount to turn the wrong way of the
track. After the jockeys had weigh
ed in, the successful rider was called
into the stand and presented with
handsome silver loving cup, which
was pronounced to be one of the
handsomest works of art ever seen
in Pensacola. Mr.. Brandon last even
ing held an impromptu reception and
was warmly congratulated by his
many friends upon his victory.
M. Depress Defeats Messenger Boy.
NJ. DepreSS, one of the most cOnSlS-
tent two-year- olds on the track, made
a show of his field ia the first race at
a half mile. Always the choice in
the speculation, he was heavily play
ed by the public. The entry, COM
posed of Messenger Boy and Frank
H. Mckinney, were the next in de-
mand, but the play on them was light.
A delay of four minutes was occasion

ZeoIa a Good Thing.
Zeola, backed from her opening
price of three to two to even money,
proved to be much the best in the
second race, at four and a half fur

Frank FIesher Defeats Favorite.
Frank Flesher, the second choice
in the speculation, defeated the heavi-
ly played favorite, Canopian, in a
hard drive in the fourth race for
three-year-olds and upwards. CanO-
plan was the choice of the sure-thing
players and they nearly knocked the
layers off the stand in trying to get
the even money posted against mis-
chances. They would take nothing
else but the Clark horse and he was
played utnil at post time three to
five was the top price. Tallow Dip

the front at the start, racing DR..

Ceaser in Mile Drive.
Ceaser, touted abuot Pensacola dur

MILTON VOTES
FOR BONDS BY
BIG MAJORITY
ENTERPRISING TOWN EAST OF
PENSACOLA TAKES STEPS TO-
WARD SOME NOTABLE NUM-
clPAL IMPROVEMENTS.

An election to decide whether or
not Milton would issue special i'm
proyement bonds, to the value of $40.-
900, was held in that place yester-
day and the sentiment for bonds was
overwhelming. In fact, there were
very few who cast ballots against any
of the provisions asked for, and last
night much joy reigned in Milton
when the results became known. The
town voted for an issue of special
Improvement bonds TO the amount
named, for the following purposes:
Water works, $4,000; sewerage, $10,-
600: electric light, $4,000. This is
how the vote stood:
On the water works feature: "a for
bonds and against bonds.
On the sewer question: 70 for
bonds and Is against bonds.
For electric light: So for bonds and
IL against bonds.
A total of ia votes were cast, and
nine were thrown out. A telephone
message from Milton last night ac-
counted for the small vote by the
TACT that a number of citizens were
In Mobile attending the reunion.
The bonds will bear five per cent,
and are for thirty years. The interest
In authority for their issue has been
growing for the past two months, as
the need of the improvements thus
provided for yesterday has been a
long time apparent. Citizens urged
the sentiment in favor of the issue
with much success, and the interested
ones, who are the property holders
Of the city, were happy over the re-
suit. They thought it the very best
movement toward an advance in the
right direction that could have been
attempted.

Plumber, With Jack Brandon
in the Saddle, Won the
Feature Event.
IMMENSE CROWD cHEERED THE
WINNER AS HE PASSED UNDER
THE WIRE-cEASAR, PLAYED
HEAVILY, WON THE LAST
RACE, BUT AT A SHORT PRICE.
BY John Wiesen.

El10s Day at Kupfrian's park was
one of enjoyment for the Elks ana
their friends for two reasons, one that
the pronounced choices won four out
of five of the events, causing the
layers to lose heavily on the days
speculation, and the other one was
that at the park it was continual
round of pleasure, topped off with
one of the most spectacular races
ever seen on a race track. Five
highly tried, fiery, untamed steeds
with riders to pilot them that would
brave any danger to land their mount
winner, paraded before the grand
stand after the last regular race had
been run. The immense crowd that
was in attendance cheered the con-
testants with as much enthusiasm as
if they were going to the post for
the Kentucky derby. Hardware, rid
den by B. M. Bombay, was the first to
parade, followed by Electric, ridden
by e. w. Peake; Plumber came next,
having Jack Brandon in the saddle;
Coffee, boiling over, came next with
E. P. Roch with tight hold on him.
while Candy Kid pulled up in the
rear, with Ed May in the saddle. JUS
tice was carded to start and to be
ridden by Judge Nicholson, but for
some reason the judge could not make
the weight and his mount was
scratched. Starter Tribe had some diff
ficulty in getting the field away, as
the starters seemed to be unusually
lively at the post.
The field was finally gotten away,
with Hardware taking the lead, fol-
lowed by Coffee, while Electric was
away third. Candy Kid fourth and
Plumber pulling up in the rear. Hard
ware maintained his advantage until
the first turn, when Plumber began
to move up steadily, overhauling
Hardware on the back stretch, as
sumed the lead and drew away with
case in the run through the stretch.
Coffee at the turn for home came with
rush and in a terrific drive raced
Hardware into defeat and dropped
into the second place, while Hardware
took third place with ease from
Candy Kid. Electric was perhaps the
most heavily played mule in the race
and the friends of E. w. Peake watch
ed his ride on the favorite with con.
siderable suspicion, and when they
saw his mount turn the wrong way on
the track and come back to the stand,
