IN every Dig race OF the past Two
years the Lozier has been represented,
and out of fifteen straits has failed to
finish but once, and every time in the
money, which I consider a record that
has been equaled by very few if any Of
the companies that participate in auto
mobile racing" said w. NJ. Giesey, of
the Lozier Sales Company, yesterday in
speaking of automobile racing. There
is one form of this sport that we never
participate in. and that is automobile
racing on horse tracks. The great ma
jority Of accidents that have happened
to racing drivers have been on tracks
of this kind, which are not safe for fast
driving. No mile track with a dirt sur
face and that is not banked on the turns
is safe for a machine travelling at high
speed. After going around once or twice
the course is so torn up that 1t is as
much case of good luck as good driv-
ing that the car stays on the course at
all We think too much of our drivers
and our cars to risk them in this kind
OF sport"
