CATARRH
A SPECIFIC BLOOD IMpUpTTY

Catarrh is deep-seated blood dis
ease, one which no amount of local
treatment will ever permanently cure.
The beneficial effects of washes,
sprays, Limitations, etc, are only
temporary, and when left off the old
condition returns, because the blood
is infected with catarrhal matter and
impurities. This impure condition
of the circulation irritates and in
flames the delicate mucous mem
brancs and tissues and produces the
we'll known symptoms of ringing
noises in the head and ears, mucus in
the throat, headaches, watery eyes,
partial deafness, sore throat, general
impairment of health, etc. This con-
dition will remain, growing worse as
long as the catarrhal matter is al
lowed to remain in the blood. Being
aspecifc blood impurity, there is only
one way to cure Catarrh, and that is
to purify the blood. Nothing equals
S. S. S. for this purpose. It attacks
the disease at its head-in the circu-
lation-and by thoroughly renovating

LONG ISLAND MOTOR PARK
WAY, Oct. -Four dead and nineteen
seriously injured-three probably IA
tally-was the price in human flesh
paid today for the sixth running of the
Vanderbilt cup race, won by Harry
Grant, driving 120-horse power Alec.
Grant who distinguished himself
last year by finishing first in the fifth
Vanderbilt won today's event from
from Joe Dawson, driver Of a Marmon,
by the narrow margin of twenty-five
seconds. John Aitken in a National
was only a minute and six seconds
behind Dawson.
The race was the most closely con-
tested of any of the Vanderbilt cup
races, and with the two small car
events run as unit with 1.-THE
Wheatly Hills sweepstakes and the
Massapequa trophy-brought out
record number of starters.
The time of the first three cars to
finish in the main event exceeded the
best time ever made in an American
road race. Grant, by covering the
278.08 miles of the course in 4 hours,
IL minutes and So seconds, equivalent
to an average of 65 1-5 miles an hour,
established a new American record.
But, brilliant as was the performance
of the three winners, and thrilling as
was the race itself, the horror caused
by the wholesale manning and killing
which attended it cast such a deep
shadow over the spectators, partict-
pants and management that the crowd
dispersed under a pail of sorrow.
GRAND PRIZE, OCTOBER 10
Yet, notwithstanding the list of cas-
ualties, i. was announced tonight that
the Grand Prize race over the same
| course would be held on October 15.
Fifteen cars have already been entered
! for the event.
w. K. Vanderbilt jr., donor of the
cup, could not be seen tonight, but A.
r. Partington, vice president and gen.
eraI manager of the motor parkway,
spoke of the race only as success.
He regretted, of course, the deaths
and accidents, Lut was inclined to at
tribute them mainly to the careless
ness of spectators.
The accidents that caused two or
the four deaths were sensational IN

the Columbia car, driven by Harold
Stone, suddenly burst a tire at the
approach of the cement bridge crossing
the Westbury road, and becoming un-
manageable plunged over the parapet.

in midair and landed on its side,
crushing out the life of Matthew r.

caught under it. Stone himself sus-

Lee, my mechanic, and l will wear full
black costumes, also"
Those who follow the racing game
now reckon Grant as one of the really
great drivers. This is not only be-
cause of what he has accomplished
but because of the heady character
of his work. His driving is distin-
guished by great steadiness and cool
ness. Always he is calm and delib
crate, whether winning or losing.
When not busy with racing Grant is
a salesman of Alco cars at the Boston
agency. He started in the automobile
business in 1888 in the Stanley factory
at Newton, Mass, and soon after
Joined the Locomobile forces in New
York. He was in this position six
the La France Fire Engine company.
In 1905 he went to work in the Alec
factory at Providence, and after spend
ing two years there, took his present
position in Boston, where G. r. Whit
ney, the Alec agent and his employer,
gave him his start in the racing game.
Grant drove his first race in 1907 at
IL
He was entered in three races. Two
of them, a five-mile event and a
twenty-mile race, he won; in the
other race, a f1fty-mile event, he held
the lead for forty-five miles and then
had a tire blow out. He finished in
second place.
In the following year, 1908, Grant
made a clean sweep at the Readville
races, winning every one of the three
events in which he was entered, and
beating Ralph De Palma, Barney Old
field and others. The same year he
made the best time for gasoline cars
at the Worcester, Mass, hill climb,
and, after a remarkable series of tire
troubles, he finished second in the
Lowell road race; also he made the
fastest lap in the Lowell race, al
though the credit for this was at first
given to another. In the fall of 1908
track. In 1909 he won the gasoline
free-for-all at the Worcester hill
climb, was first in a five-mile race at
Readville and won the Vanderbilt cup.
Prior to his Vanderbilt cup victory
In 1909 he lost the Lowell race through
a remarkable piece of hard luck. He
had forged ahead of Robertson and
was leading by three minutes, with
only three laps to go, when a tire ex-
ploded, a piece of it flew between the
chain and sprocket, and the chain
broke, putting him out Of the race.
At the Worcester hill cliIab of 1910
Grant won his class even/s and made
a new hill record for gasoline stock
cars. On the track at Indianapolis
last July he started in three events,
won two OF them and finished fourth
in the other because of tire trouble.
Grant has driven an Alco in all his
races.
Grant is of an exceptionally happy
disposition. He is usually smiling,
and there is Tilt of cheeriness in his
voice as he talks, so it is not surpris-
ing that he weighs 200 pounds. He
was born at Cambridge, Mass, July
10, 1877.

One important fact that will be
prominently impressed upon the minds
of every motorist who travels to New
York in his own car will be the charm
of touring in the autumn season. 1t
will undoubtedly be a revelation to
thousands of automobile owners whose
idea of long distance travel has been
limited to the warm summer season to
learn that such a large percentage of
motorists are beginning to appreciate
the cooler period of the year for long
distance touring.
For the motorist living in New York
and vicinity, no section naturally offers
so many delights at this time of the
year for touring as New England Here
will be found superb scenic effects,
good hotels, with healthful and invig-
Grating atmosphere, This statement
does not mean to convey the impress

The experiences of many motorists dur

many of the most popular routes offer
very inferior roads. However, improve

1t can be safely said that no other
part OF America of equal area contains
so many good roads as New England,

TO ATTEMPT TO REVISE
RACING RULES FOR 1871
How Long Drivers May Remain
at the Wheel in Endurance
Events Most Important

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-Racing rules
for 1911 came in for a general discus
sion last week, when the general rules
committee of the Manufacturers Con-
test association held an all day session
at the rooms of the Association of LII
censed Automobile Manufacturers.
Howard e. Coffin, chairman. presided.
Many recommendations for changes in
the contest rules were finally ratified.
Some matters were considered of
great Importance to be later referred
to the entire membership Of the as
sociation by a mail vote. This vote
will have to be recorded before rec
concentrations can be made to the
American Automobile association con-
test board.
All phases of contest rules were con-
sidered, most of them having been
suggested by experiences in the ad-
minlstration of the regulations gov
erning in this country at the present
time. Great enthusiasm and keen in
terest were shown at the meeting
Discussion was general. The recon-
mendations finally ratified do not be-
come rules until adopted by the con-
test board of the American Automo-
bile association, and when so adopted
will be incorporated in the regulations
to govern competition in 1911 and 1872
Among the subjects taken up were
the following:
That the decision of the technical
committee of the American Automo-
bile association be final regarding the
eligibility Of any car to enter con-
tests held under the rules of the A.
A. A; that the importer in stock car
and stock chassis events be considered
on exactly the same basis as the
American manufacturer; that amateur
drivers competing in track or road
races against professional drivers shall
lose their amateur standing.
Another important subject of great
interest to race followers which was
thoroughly discussed was the question
of the length of time drivers in long
distance events on special speedways
would be allowed to continue at the
wheel without change. The rules gov
erning twenty-four-hour races were
also considered from the same stand
point.
