Unnecessary noises on the streets OF any
city OF prominence in the United States
have long been a cause OF serious annoy
ance and discomfort to the inhabitants,
and never fail TO attract the unfavorable
attention of visitors from foreign shores.
The Society for the Prevention of In
necessary Noises. under the strenuous
guidance of Mrs. Isaac l. Rice. OF New
York, has paved the way, and now c. w.
Matheson, OF the motor car manufacturing
company bearing his name, comes forward
with the suggestion that noisy automo-
biles should be barred from city streets.
with the knowledge OF motor car de-
sign becoming a fine art instead Of an
experimental hodge-podge there is no
need for half the noise which can be
charged up to the account Of automo-
biIes," said Mr. Matheson In explanation
Of his stand. "Of course the worst trouble
lies in the hands OF the drivers OF cars
who persistently their mufffer cut
outs or who insist travelling with rnuf-
fers wide open. It may be amusing and
gratifying to the man at the wheel who,
for self-interest, travels through city
streets with a continuous detonation Of
exhaust reports TO make the lives of

ROUND LONG ISLAND RUN
Strenuous Tour Planned for
June IL and Is.

The reliability run around Long Island
in September 1903, in which hfty-two cars
competed, was so enjoyable that the run
will be repeated on June IA and Is. It will
be conducted by the Motor Contest Asso-
citation, which gave the first run. The tour
will be a strenuous one. as the first day
calls for approximately two hundred miles.
and of that distance fully twenty-five will
be going and coming back over the Mon
tauk bad lands" between Amagansett and
Montauk Light.
The turn will be made at the light, for the
cars can go no further. The night stop
will be at Orient Point, or near by, where
the cars will be parked. The run the sec
ond day will be along the north shore of
Long Island the south being used for the
trip east
There will be two divisions OF cars IN the
run, one strictly contesting reliability cars.
and the others, for amateur drivers, owners
and others, will be known as secret time
run. The time between New York and
Montauk Light will be handed the referee
by Chairman Butler of the American Auto
mobile Association contest board, and there
will be some twenty-five prizes donated to
those who arrive nearest the exact time
scheduled by Mr.. Butler. It is quite likely
that a barbecue will be arranged for lunch
con, either at Amagansett or Montauk
Light the first day, as there is no hotel
large enough to accommodate the party.
The pathfnders left yesterday for Mon
tauk Point, and were in charge of Ray
rnond Beck, manager of the touring bureau
of the Automobile Club of America.

NEW PACKARD MODELS
Only Mechanical Details Changed
in the 1911 Line.

The 1911 line of Packard motor cars, made
by the Packard Motor Car Company, of
Detroit, is a departure from conventional
practice, embracing both open and inclosed
cars, with bodies designed in a new fore
door style. Also, the Packard standard

blue, black and Packard gray.
The 1911 Packard Thirty line consists Of
a touring car, phaeton, ciose-coupled car,
runabout, limousine, landaulet, coupe, fore
door limousine and fore-door landaulet. The
Packard Eighteen" town car is made as a
flve-passenger open car, close-coupled car,
runabout, and in inclosed car styles similar
TO the Thirty" Both cars are the same in
quality and general design.
The list price OF the Packard Thirty"
open cars is $500. and OF the Eighteen"
open cars $500. The standard equipment of
all open cars includes Packard tops. All
cars are equipped regularly with Cont
mental demountable INNS. The tires on the
Thirty are 36 by AZ inches. all around,
and on the Eighteen "a by inches.
The mechanical improvements In the 1911
cars are extensive. but are all in the nature
of detail refinement. developing previous
models. The motor OF the Packard Thirty
has four cylinders Of 5-inch bore by 51a-inch
stroke IT develops S0-brake horsepower at
$50 revolutions q minute. The Eighteen"
motor is OF &fs-inch bore by 51s-inch stroke,
developing 1s-brake horsepower at $50 revo-
lutions a minute.
The wheel base of the Thirty is 1894
inches. except in the case Of the runabout.
in which 1t is 10S inches. The Eighteen"
standard wheel base Is liz inches. and that
of the runaloout 102 inches.

WHITE CYLINDERS EN- BLOC
Models for 1911 Show No Rad
ical Changes from Last Year.

The White company has just announced
its line of steam and gasolene cars for 1911
The new models do not show. any radical
changes from 1910 cars. and no changes
have been made either in prices or in the
designation of the various models.
The engine retains those characteristic
features which the White company intro
duced a year ago and which have since
been adopted by a number of the leading
foreign makers. The four cylinders are
cast en- bloc with the intake and exhaust
passages included within the engine cast
ing. There are no external manifolds; the
intake gases are heated on their way to
the cylinders, and the exhaust gases are
cooled as soon as they leave the cylinders,
and their pressure is thereby reduced.
The long stroke" principle is retained,
the stroke of SIS inches being approximate
ly one and a third times the bore of 3s4
inches. The intake and exhaust valves are
all on one side of the engine and the en-
tire valve mechanism is inclosed. The
Bosch magnetic and the centrifugal water
pump are placed on opposite sides Of the
engine and are driven independently.
A feature of the crank shaft construction
is the arrangement whereby the connect
ing rod bearings are positively fabricated.
The clutch is Of the leather faced cone
type and is OF unusually liberal dimen-
sions.
The transmission IS OF the selectivo type,
and has four forward speeds, with direct
drive on the third. The gears are made
of chrome nickel steel and are of unusually
liberal dimensions as regards both width
and diameter The car IS shaft driven.
Model GA has a 110-inch wheel base,
three-quarter elliptic rear springs and 81 by
inch tires. II is fitted with tour
Ing, torpedo or toy tonneau body. The
touring and toy tonneau each sell at 5000
and the torpedo at {2,25o.
Model "G-B" has a wheel base OF 12o
inches, three-quarter elliptic rear springs.
"a by inch tires and somewhat heavier
running gear than model GA" Model
..G-B" is fitted with unusually roomy
fye-passenger touring body at 2.6OO with
limousine body at $500 or with landaulet
body at So, 300.
The White commercial vehicle line Tor l9lI
will consist Of a three to five ton gasolene
truck. a one and a half ton gasolene truck
and a 800 pound delivery wagon
