 las over the newly opened link of the territorial highway. This was the fig ure set by Jonathan Scott Of Doug las when he had finished his run in the road race that had been planned for the official opening of this stretch of fine road Henry Elvey, also of Douglas, was the second 10 finish, his time being thirty-one minutes, and the winning time for motorcycles was thirty-four minutes. This is the re- port brought by those who returned from Douglas by automobile last ev- ening.
 The road race Of yesterday proved disappointment for one by one the intending contestants dropped out until there were finally ibuJ three cars left and three motorcycles Douglas was represented by Jonathan Scott one of the most daring drivers Of the Shelter City, and by Henry Elyey The Warren district had only one enJranJ. Mark ?. John in his little low power car Various explanations for the failure Of starters are given, and it is probable that there will be another race arranged along other lines
 The time made by Scott in his Cadillac yesterday materially reduces the record between the two points, hut there are number of drivers who claim that they can clip a few minutes from this record and that they are ready 10 do so. Different conditions and more certainty as tO rules and regulations are sought. and with such arrangements there is no reason why a large entry list shuEid not be obtained There are some who want the race run from Douglas this way. and who point out that as ir was run yesterday it is down hiil practically all the way, and so is not fair test
 good sized crowd gathered aJ I.o well as early as 9 o'clock yesterday morning 10 see the start of the race.

Williams drew No. 1 from the iIat and was the first leave. The other entrants were ". Nj. Swain, second place and William Melton third place Williams rode an Excel sior bike and the other two entrants rode Indians. An .utermission Of five minutes was allowed between each departure.
 By the time the first auto 1ot uu- der way, the streets of Lowell were damned with the cars Of the trailers those who did not enter the race but who followed ir the wake of the rae ing cars. As was the case in tae mo torcycIe race, there were only three entrants, SO each car stood 10 win first, second or third money Mark r. IOhus. who entered the little Rec Sh D. Maud was the first to get away, at 1G:fU o'clock. There was 8 yeii of ieeTing euCoura cement as the little car moved, away, given a lss- fond push by Jesse Noakum, the own. CT of the machine All sounds Oi traffic were drowned as the little ma chine thrashed is way down main street and under the railway trestle. X clGud of smoke that enyeloped the City told that the Re3 "one-pJEger was sLiil iE The running.

 The highway opening automobile race was something Of a iasco and thrre is talk already Of pulling of real race and making a record ou the Bisbee-D0Ugias highway for tu. ture drivers 10 go after The cause of the 6asCo is saId ID have been a misunderstanding as 10 the rules.
 A member of the local committee --named by the Douglas committee said yesterday that Ihe rules had been rhauE Eed three times by the DOuslaS committeC and the Eisbee entrants did ngr wish co enter without a thor ouah understanding Of the rules. None nr the makes of cars in popular usl fn Bisbee were in the race, so the affair of yesterday decides uutning as 10 the relative speed of the severa, makes of cars In the next race thal is unlicd on on The highway the carz win be grouped as to gear and horse mower or else haudICaps will be i'm posed
