HUDSON CARS HOLD
CENTER Of STAGE

The Hudson cars are leading in the
line of automobile excitement just
at present. Two carloads of these
superb machines were received by the
Associated Garage the first of this
week and Manager Hall stated this
morning that he was not sure whether
he had one or two left.
DR.. Holman bought one of the i'm
proved roadsters and A. T. Conner, of
the dredging company, was the pur-
chaser of another. John Fleming was
the buyer of the first Hudson touring
car ever received in the Islands and
RoberC Atkinson secured the second
one. All of these purchasers are
most enthusiastic as to the Hudson,
characterizing the car as the best
value ever seen in it's class. The car
is refined throughout, and besides its
graceful lines and general high-gradC
appearance, it has surprising amount
of power.
Another Hudson of the same class
already referred to has been booked,
but the Associated is not yet sure OF
being able to get any more, so great
has been the demand for these cars on
the mainland.
e E. Battelle, of Maui, was pur
chaser during the week OF one of the
cars already on hand.
Rev. John ETdman, who has just
left for the east on his vacation, left

HUDSON OWNERS
TO HAVE CONTEST

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.--A uni
que contest has just been devised by
the Hudson Motor Car Company Of
Detroit for Hudson owners. Every
owner who enters the contest must, on
July 18th, make tour of not less than
100 miles in the machine. The owner
need not drive, but if not driving he
must accompany the driver on the
trip.
No restrictions are made as to the
course chosen, except that not more
than ten miles of the route be covered
twice. If touring car, the machine
must carry at least four, and if a road
ster at least two passengers. So long
as the run is made between sunrise
and sunset no consideration will be
! taken of the time consumed, it being
stated this is in no way a speed con-
test. Consumption of gasoline and oil,
with the percentage based on weather
and the condition of the road travel
ed, will, however, be an important
factor in determining the award. At
least three photographs must be taken
during the trip, and these, with the
owners writtqh description of the
tour, will be the chief evidence upon
which the decision will be made. AL
together there will be twenty prizes,
ranging from $40 to $3.50 each. A
special prize of $25 is offered to any
woman driver who complies with all
the conditions and drives the car the
entire distance herself. she need not
own the car, but the owner must ac-
company her.

Won Hamm-Y Young Go.
Report Many Auto Sales

The first 1911 Packard which arriv-
ed this week for the Won Hamm-Y Young
Company has been the center of at
traction in automobile circles. Auto.
mobile enthusiasts generally agree
that the fore-door body is the proper
body to have, as it protects the driver
in the front seat against rain as we'll
as dust, which is impossible in an
open car even though the driver wears
a rain coat.
This 1911 Packard will be delivered
to Mr. A. w. Carter for his ward, Miss
Thelma Parker, when she arrives
from Hawaii next week. Miss Parker
intends to take her Packard with her
to the mainland, where she will tour
California and the East in same.
Another Packard was sold during
the week to Mrs. s. C. Allen. This
car also has the new fore-door body,
carrying seven passengers.
The Won Hamm- Young Company
have also just closed the sale of a
7-passenger Packard touring car to
Mr.. j. c. Quinn, who intends to put
same into the rent service. Mr.,
Quinn is very proud of his beautiful
car and will have no difficulty in Sc.
curing the choice loads as the Packard
is a great favorite in the rent bust
ness.
A 5-passenger Packard phaeton
was sold this week to a prominent
business man in town, who will take
delivery of his car next week.

MAXWELL CAR IN
AN AMAZING TEST

Final scores of the contest for the
Glidden and Chicago trophies, credit
the Maxwell team with making the
best average score in the most amaz-
ing test of cars and of men ever con-
Quoted in this country.
When the technical experts of the
American Automobile Association
completed their final examination and
operative test, it was found that the
team of two Maxwell cars had sur
vived the racking run of $3.50 miles,
through thirteen states, in better con-
dition than and two or three-car
team in either division of the contest.
The penalties assessed for slight
trouble with equipment gave the team
an average of 1873 & IL points which
was SO points penalty less than the
nearest competing team Further
more, only three of the nine teams
which started were able to remain in
the contest and of the other six teams
only one car of the team finished the
contest in Chicago.
While these records show that every
contestant had to endure the greatest
mechanical torture, they do not tel
the significant story of price compari
son, for the reason that team Of cars
averaging $4,000 in selling price, in
Guiding the Glidden winner, incurred
more than three times as many penal
ties as the Maxwell team averaging
only $500 in price.
| Also the Maxwell car which wal
driven by Jesse Illingsworth of Dallas
Texas, in the Chicago trophy division
over the same route and under thu
identical conditions that governed thu
Glidden division won second place
with better score than the car which
won the Glidden trophy although tina
car had twice as much power ant
costs twice as much.
In all, the showing made by tn
Maxwell was a glowing emphasis o
the fact that in tests OF reliabilit,
and endurance these cars are stron
finishers.
