EXPECT GREAT CONTEST
ON BRIGHTON COURSE
Fast Machines Enter Twenty-Fou
Hour Races at New York
Motordrome

Judging by the early inquiries and
by the activity of owners of fast ma
chimes in obtaining the services OF
drivers, 1t is believed that the opening
twenty -four-hour race meet at the
Brighton Beach motordrome in May
will be one of the best contested au-
tomobile speed contests ever held
there.
The probable appearance of Navarro,
the great italian driver, in Fiat car,
has spurred prospective American en-
trants to secure the best eligible driv-
ers without loss of time. Already the
entries of the winning Lozier, Simplex
and Renault cars in twenty -four-hour
races last year and of the Rainier that
was a runner-up in two of these con-
tests are assured. The exact dates of
the opening tournament have not yet
been determined, but an announce
ment is expected to be made within
a week.
The Simplex Automobile company
will spare no effort to regain it's world s
twenty-four-hour track record laurels,
established in the race of October 23,
1908. when a total of LILY miles was
made-a record which stood unbeaten
for a year until the track was remod-
eled. George Robertson has been en-
gagged to pilot the Simplex in the first
twice-around- -the-clock event of this
year. His running mate has not been
decided upon as yet.

VIII Result in Booming Mest9S as a
Field for Sale of Americas
Made Motor
Cars

With many of the worlds best known
automobile drivers plotting American
made cars. the fiag-to-fag endurance
and reliability contest for the trophy
offered by G. A. Wahlgreen of Denver
will leave Denver on Monday, May 2.
Tor the Citv of Mexico on the most
unique and picturesque international
automobile tour ever undertaken.
1t was originally planned to have the
contest arrive In the City of Mexico
in September during the Mexican CEN
tennial celebration. Owing to the fact
that the rainy season would then be
at its height this plan was changed at
the request of prominent manufactur-
ers. who want the most favorable
weather conditions in order to make
the best possible showing of American
cars. having in view the purchasing
market of the sister republic.
1t was on May l last year that Billy
Knipper, the well known racing driver,
left Denver in a Chalmers-Detroit car,
accompanied by f. Ed Spooner, for the
City of Mexico. which was reached
June 3. The 2400 miles were covered
in twenty -eight running days. The
journey was made by way of Ell Paso,
Tex, and considerable time was lost
in the Sierra Blanca desert, just across
the Mexican line. President Porf1rio
Diaz welcomed the pathfinders, who
bore messages of greeting from Gov
ernor John II. Shafroth of Colorado,
and Governor George Curry of New
Mexico.
VIII Avoid Desert
Owing to the difficulties encountered
in the Sierra Blanca desert and upon
urgent request of the automobile and
good roads organiza tions of the most
prominent cities in Texas it has been
decided to change the route somewhat.
Instead of crossing the border at the
western portal of El Paso and Juarez,
the line will be crossed at the eastern
entry. Eagle pass.
This will swing the route from Dem
yer through Colorado Springs, Pueblo,
Trinidad, Texline, Amarillo, Plainview
San Angelo, Kerville and San Antonio
This route from Texline to Eagle pass
on the border and from that point to
Torreon. Mexico, where the original
route is Joined, has already been gone
over and logged by enthusiastic Tex
as motorists.
At all the Texas cities of Importance
there will be receptions A days stop
is planned at San Antonio, where the
International club will entertain the
contestants. From San Antonio to Tor
reon is five days journey. Two days
will be required to reach Aguas Cali
entes, two more for Ceays, one to
reach San Juan del Rio. one to Tula,
and then an easy ride of few hours
on the final day to the City of Mexico.
From Denver to the Mexican border
there will be ample hotel accommoda-
tions This is also true of the cities
mentioned in Mexico. At other night
stops Pullman sleepers and dining
service will be provided, as was the
case on the recent Glidden tour, and a
train will closely follow the movements
of the tourists.
Upon the arrival of the contestants
in the City of Mexico a monster auto
mobile show will be held, at which ex-
hibition tie competing cars will be
shown.

USES AUTOMOBILES I'M
WIRELESS EXPERIMENTS
French Signal Corps Carries Station
from Place to Place on
Machine

The French Signal corps has recently
conducted exhaustive experiments with
an automobile wireless outfit, and sue
cess has been the companion of the
tests. The general outward appear
ances of the car with which the French
soldiers worked resembele an ordinary
limousine. The mast, it's base, and
the winch by which it is raised are all
carried on the roof and covered with
tarpaulins. All sections of the body
are movable, to permit of rapid ingress
or egress and an easy operation of the
necessary parts of the wireless outfit.
So far the French army is the only
one in the world to possess an outfit of
this kind, but it is likely that before
long the signal corps of the United
States army will have secured a con-
gressional appropriation sufficient to
enable it to carry on thorough ex-
periments and acquire material along
these lines.
