WORCESTER HILL
CLIMB ATTRACTS
MANY ENTRIES
De Palma, DisbrOw and Other
Racing Cracks Will
Drive Cars.

Whatever may be the attitude of
automobile manufacturers and dealers
towards racing. it is certain that the
majority &c them faYa~ hill-climbihs
contests. This WIS clearly d~einonstra-
ted by the Worcester Automobile
Club under Who's auspices the sixth
annual climb will be held on Dead
Horse Hill, August Il. Before deter
mining on the date of the climb, the
club thought it advisable To feel
out' the trade regarding the affair
and some $50 letters were issued, the
replies from which We're unusually en-
c%ouraging and augured well for 4 big
field of entries.
According to John p. Coghlin,
ehairman of the hill-climc committee,
no better date could be selected for
the affair, in that a large portion OF
the 1912 cars which the dealers and
manufacturers want to enter will be
ready by thc+ time. Events scheduled
to be held early this season have been
either failures or only partially sue
c~essful, due to the fact that the manu-
facturers were not ready with their
new cars or else had no old cars to
enter for competition. The climb
comes at a time just before the au-
tumn selling season and many entrants
have seen the wisdom Of the climb
committee in selecting the late date
chiefly on this account.
Entries are coming in at a lively
rate and there is promise of several
racing creeks competing. Ralph De
Palma has signified his intention of
entering his speedy Simplex to try for
he hill record made by Baldwin in u
Stanley Steamer. Louis Disbrow is
likely to enter his record-holding Pope
Hummer and Neil Whalen, who is
slowly recovering from an attack OF
inf1ammatory rheumatism, says he will
drive a National if he is physically fit.
Other mates of cars entered are Fiat,
Pierce-Arrow Abbott-Detroit, Betk-
shire, National. Cameron. Stevens
Duryea, Velie, Oakland, Metz, Thomas
and Knox.
Dead Horse Hill is one of the best
slopes in the country suitable for a
national contest. 1t Is one mile in
length and has an elevation of S64.2
feet above sea level, with stiff varying
grades between each quarter of a mile.

The public agitation against auto.
mobile races being held ON dangerous
and improperly constructed tracks is
growing, and it would be we'll for those
having the interest of the sport in
charge to use every effort to eliminate
the m~an-kiiling race meets and bring
the game down to a sale and sane
basis before it has a chance to be
killed altogether BY legislative action
brought about by popular ciamor.
The Automobile Club of Buffalo is
now the largest local motoring organi>
cation in the country. It's membership
is about 3.1o0. The New Jersey Auto
mobile and Motor Club, of tins city. is
second with 2,400 members.

WILLYS BELIEVES IN
YEARLY MODELS FOR CARS.

On account of taking invoice em-
ployees in the factory of the WHY'S.
Overland Company are enjoying a brief
respite from work. This is the month
of the year with the Overland when
comes the change in the seasons
models. Considerable criticism falls
upon the heads of automobile manu-
facturers as 1t did with bicycle manu-
facturers years ago because of the
fostering of a seasonable product
launching into the market from year
TO year cars bearing changes and i'm
provements over the preceding years
output. The manufacturers point of
view was quite logically set forth only
recently by John N. WHY'S, of The
willys-O Overland Company when he
said:
Business acumen is all that makes a
merchant prince, and it is this peculiar
property that dictates the annual model
and rests heavily upon the mar who
pays small heed to its ramifications.
The automobile business is no more in
tested with changing models than any
other business. AS proof of this fact
we have merely to call attention to the
changes that the styles in mems and
ladies' headgear and wearing apparel
undergo with great rapidity, due en-
tirely to the versatility of designers in
this field, and to the fact that the
patrons of this industry lave a pen
chant for Something new. Thousands
of men who are skilled in the autono-
bile art spend from eight to sixteen
hours per day thinking along progress
sive lines. hoping to get something
better, and it is too much to expect
that all This gray matter is to be eX-
pended in vain"
Plans for the 1912 season for the
Overland organization have been en-
tirely whipped into shape. President
WHY'S now finds himself in a position
to take a summers respite from his
duties and has gone East to his sum-
nler home on Massachusetts bay. leaN-
ing the detail TO be thrashed out by his
departmental heads.

NEW YORK TO HAVE
WORLDS LARGEST BREWERY

New York.-Within the past few
days Manhattan has added another
record to its already long list Of the
largest, tallest, costliest and various
other superlative structures. This
time it Is the largest single building
in the world devoted to the manu-
facture of beer which has just been
completed by one of the big brew
ing companies.
The new stock house, as it is called
has a capacity Of 6,23O,0O0 gallons
and gives the establishment cap
acity for brewing 100000 gallons
of beer at once.
More than four acres Of floor space
is occupied by the building and it's
tanks If placed end to end would form
tunnel high enough for a man to
walk through and more than seven
miles long. If put into ordinary bot
ties its contents would form a double
line extending from coast to coast.
As striking commentary upon the
size Of New York's thirst, it may be
noted that the entire capacity of this
record-breaking establishment would
supply the ordinary consumption of
the people of Greater New York and
its immediate suburbs for less than
two weeks.
