During the Lincoln convention Of the
Buick company a dozen automobile men
called upon Mayor Love yesterday and
asked the mayor If the city was in the
business of advertising any particular
make of machine and upon receiving a
negative answer they asked that the fire
chief be forbidden to make an exhibition
run during the afternoon for the benefit
of a convention of statesmen of particular
make of automobiles. The mayor investi-
gated the matter and found that some time
ago H. b Sidles asked Fire Chief Clement
II he would do what he could to make the
convention interesting, and the fire chief
replied that he would. Mr. Sides then
printed as one feature of the program that
an exhibition run Of the fire department
would be made. Mr.. Love decided that as
long as the chief had told Mr., Sides what
he did, and It had been incorporated in
the program, it would be best to allow the
run TO be made. Mr.. Sides told the mayor
that the convention was quite large one
and that the members had asked no favors
of the Commercial club or other favors Of
the city, is frequently done, and lac
thought that it was not asking too much
to have the exhibition run made. The
mayor told the delegation Of rival autOmo-
bile men that he would permit the run,
but that the city would not discriminate,
and in case any convention OF their sales
men should be held here they will also be
| treated to an exhibition The delegation,
however, was not altogether satisfied. The
| fire chiefs auto is Of the same make as
| that sold by the members Of the conven-
ton, and the statesmen Of the other makes
! were not sure that they would want the
! chief riding at the head Of the parade for
their conventions in a different car than

Two grinning ana dirty faced fellows last
Friday morning shot down Broadway, New
York City, in very much dirtier car 1t
was the Warren Detroit wolverine"
which left the City of the Straits on the
afternoon OF December 20. The crew, by
herculean effort, made the trip in few
hours less than ten days, thereby establish
ing a winter record between Detroit and
New York in mid-wlnter.
The first day and a half out of Detroit
there was nothing to contend with except
the cold and frigid winds off Lake Erie.
When the men left Cleveland however,
the drifts became so deep, from four to
five feet, that in two days the car made
a total of twenty miles.
Christmas eve saw the two plucky fellows
who rode in the Wolverine" snowbound
near Ashtabula. All day long they dug the
little car out OF first one big drift and
then another, In places the road was OBJ
liberated. The tonneau was piled full OF
planks and 2x4s, which Driver Bill Smith
and his partner pushed under the rear
wheels of the car whenever the latter
dug themselves so far into the drifts that
they could no longer secure traction.
Before the car eft Detroit the car was
equipped with everything from pickaxe
! to block and tackle and the tourists found
opportunity TO use every bit of 1t. In Ohio
and Pennsylvania the snow was the deep
est. but was also a great struggle to get
across the snowbound Montezuma marshes
between Rochester and Syracuse. From
Albany to New York the run was made in
the mud and rain, a great contrast to the
earlier days
The daily mileage of the wolverine
ranged from ten miles TO 15O During the
last days Of the run the car and It's crew
were on the road before daylight and never
| left it until darkness set in at night.
! 1t was up to Driver Smith to bring the
car in for the Grand Central Palace show,
and he did It with time to spare. 1t is the
first time that a single car has made this
| trip in winter Last year another COM
pany sent squadron of cars through but
the Wolverine" had to pillow 1000 odd
miles alone.
The Michigan tourists will return by way
OF the Philadelphia, Chicago and Detroit
shows and start then for San Francisco on
a transcontinental trip.
