The Motor Races

About 1900 persons were at the fair
grounds on the afternoon Of July 4, when
automobile and motor cycle races were
held there under the auspices of the South
Jersey Motor Club. Ten events were pre-
sented. Failure to properly match the
contestants detracted from the interest of
most of the events. Losing control of his
machine one motorcyclist collIded with
the fence. He escaped serious injury, but
his machine was smashed. Harvey Ring
Ter, of Philadelphia, driving Mercer car,
covered five miles in 6.45, the fastest time
made. A driver present with National
car, established mile record for the track,
covering the distance in 1.15. The heavy
cars cut the track badly at the first turn,
but otherwise 1t was in good shape.
The summary of the events foll0w.

Law Almost a Farce.

Cupless fountains and thirsty multi
tudes have created situation in the State
hardly contemplated by the law makers
who. for the sake of germless drinking,
have abolished the public cup.
The law has gone into effect. The re-
suit Is that travellers and pedestrians find
water, water everywhere" but scanty
means to drink. And now they use the
cast off paper cups that are offered in the
penny slot machines, embrace the spigot
10 their teeth or borrow the cup or glass
Of their elbow neighbor, who may be will
ing to grant the favor.
Railroads and other public places have
found 1t no difficult burden to obey the
Law. It appears to be easy to toss the cup
or glass out Of the window or into the
garbage can. They are not compelled to
show the public how to solve the prob
lem. They merely provide the water, and
# the thirsty one has no cup or the means
to- get one il Is no matter of poignant
concern.
From various places over the State come
reports that the same methods are fol-
lowed by the thirsty-the use of discarded
paper cups, facial attachment to the spigot
and neighborly borrowing.
In the Pennsylvania Railroad station
TO illustra;e the usage adopted by the road
over the State there stands alongside the
water tank the penny slot machine laden
with paper cups A wire basket nearby
invites the discard. Since the public cup
has been discarded waiting passengers
have used cups that had been left on their
sides In the drain. All seemed satisfied
with the minimum of rinsing.
There appears nothing in the law or the
patent requiring any purchaser of penny
cup to destroy 1t after using. Some were
so water-soaked that careful handling was
required to make them hold water. Two
or three kindly disposed persons offered
the use of glasses or collapsible drinking
cups. which were gratefully received
The water tank In station at another
town was surrounded by crowd of ex-
cursionists and other travellers, who, find.
Ing no cups and having none, took the
spigot In their mouths, one after another.
All seemed entirely fearless Of bacilli.
