1NTEREST in local automobile circles
was conferred last week in the initial
hil-chmbing contest of the Automo-
u bile Club of Washington and the
Munsey tour. which ended in this
city. after nearly two score OF machines
had rounded out 1900 strenuous miles
over all kinds of roads. The former
event was very successful and. judging
from the enthusiasm displayed and in
terest taken, the affair will be run on a
much larger scale next year. A feature
OF the contest was that not an accident
occurred to any Of the machines or the
competing drivers, nor to the spectators
who lined the course on Randle Highlands
and appluaded the drivers as their cars
dashed up the steep incline at lightning
speed. The officials Of the club and the
contest committee have come In Tor con-
siderable praise for the excellent manner
in which the contest was managed. not
a protest being filed by any OF those who
took part In the climb.

Nunsey tour was given its final try-out

rival In this city. resulting In every car

At the third annual national good roads
convention. to be held in st. Louis Sep
tember % TO 80. there will be discussed
the ways and means OF providing the
necessary funds for the general improve
ment Of highways throughout the coun-
try. The consensus of opinion seems
to be that in the construction of the
main travel highways or trunk lines,
the expense of such work should be
borne in part by federal appropriations
and state appropriations. Up to the pres
ent time no federal appropriations have
been made for roads construction, al
though a bureau Is maintained which
furnishes advice and tests road materials
This bureau is under the direction of
Logan Waller Page in this city, and
has been OF the greatest value in slim

ment throughout the Union.

MATERIAL FOR
TRACK IS GOOD
Harvard's Prospects This Year
Brighter Than For
Last.

Harvard's track prospects for the
dual meet with Yale and the inter-
collegiates in 1911 are decidedly bet
ter than at this time last year, says
the Christian Science Monitor of De-
cember /.
As whole the team promises to
be weak In the field events, particu-
larly in weights. The 1910 team
was weak In these, and IL was only
the very unusual work OF
the runners that Harvard managed
to beat out her ancient rival by
81 l2 points to 81 IL.
At the present time 1t looks as II
the runners would be called upon to
do more than their share of point
winning If the vi tory is to be re-
peated.
There are four candidates for the
pole vault, II. Murray, ~, with a
record of 10 feet inches, is about
the best, and he will have to add an
other foot to get place against
Yale. Chadwick, II, and Torrey
and Jones, ~, are the other candi-
dates.
Captain II. C. Foster promises to
be a worthy successor to Little in the
broad jump, as he has done 20 feet
in practise. Dick, Long, Dillingham;,
Torrey and Phillips are promising
second string men who should pick
up some points.
The outlook in the hammer and
shot is very discouraging. Douglas.
and Parker, ~; Bachelor and Cable,
10; Chadwick II, and Hodges are
the best of the candidates, and 1870
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1910-12-19

feet is about as far as anyone of
them has ever thrown the hammer.
Moody and Bachelor, '13. and Per-
kins and Cutting, II, are the best
in the shot put, none of whom can
better 40 feet.
A. d. Barker, II, sc ond in the
last dual meet, is doing slightly bet
ter than 6 feet in practise, and he is
well backed up by Reed and Davis,
II, both good for ) feet 10 inches.
The mile and two-mile runs will
find Harvard very strong, with IL.
Jaques Jr., p. Newton. Il. l.. Viets,
w. +. Ryan f. D. Everett. p. G..
Held. II: W. u. Fernald, p. r..
Wilmington, W. II. Lacey, ~, and
f. c. Gray and II. p. Lawless, '13.
All of these men are exceptionally
fast and should succeed in picking
up nearly all of the IS points in
these two events.
The half and quarter will find
Harvard well represented, Prebble,
~, the former Dartmouth runner,
being the best in the former, and
II. w. Kelley, S. c. Simons and o. r.
Ranney likely to make another clean
sweep in the latter event. Herbert
Warren, 10, is another likely man
in either event.
The dashes should find the Grim
son stronger this year than last II II.
c. Foster is able to get back into his
1909 form, as is expected. He
should easily win both these events,
and will be ably backed up by Stein
hardt, II; Cummins and Ranney,
~, and Austin and de Gazzald. 10.
Although Gardner will be missed
in the hurdles, Harvard should be
pretty strong with Lewis, Long,
Sweetser, Heath and Chadwick the
leading candidates. There is also a
possibility that Foster may run the
hurdles in place of the 100.
AS whole. the team is not as
well balanced as II should be. No
one realizes this better than Coaches
Donovan and Quinn. In previous
seasons they have been able to over
come this difficulty by shifting the
men.
