 ARE ABANDONED

New York. June s.--Official announce ment was made by the contest board of the Automobile association today that the proposed national circuit of automo- bile races has been abandoned for this year Too many dates and too long & period of racing are the reasons assigned for the collapse of the big project
 The original intention was to provide a series of automobile contests over the country along the lines with the Indian apolis race on Memorial Day and con- tinuing until November l. This period is regarded as too long to justify the cir cult plans. Automobile racing interests will apply for entries to various meets independently, as heretofore

CADILLAC MAKES
FINE NEW RECORD

Close on the heels of the report of
the establishing of a new record for
the distance between Los Angeles and
San Francisco by 1911 Cadillac,
comes the details of a second record
more remarkable than the first
Recently w. w. Bramlette and I
]. Baudet oil men of California, made
the round trip from Los Angeles to San
Francisco, in a Cadillac Thirty, in 80
hours, minutes of elapsed time.
Before the motorists of the Coast
cities have ceased to remark upon this
performance, another 1911 Cadillac, a
demi -tonneau stock model, with full
equipment and carrying four passen-
gers, gives them further food for
thought, by reducing the one-way re-
cord by about two hours and the
round trip time by more than six.
The distance between the two cities
on the Coast is 4S7 miles, and the
road leads over six mountain ranges.
The rought roads and stiff mountain
grades make the run one which tax
es to the utmost the staunchness OF
car; as is attested by the fact that
fully twenty futile attempts to better
the former one-way record held by {
! six cylinder car, driven by the bes
racing drivers on the coast.
Not content with cutting l hour, d
minutes from the Los Angeles to 'Fris
co record, the Cadillac Thirty stopped
only eleven minutes in the latter city
and without adjustment started on TIL
return trip. The entire distance o
974 miles was completed in 80 hour;
35 Enthusiastically 6 hours SO min
utes under the best previous roun
trip time. Incidentally, this time
considerably lower than that of tn

fastest night flyer on the railroads.
Remarkable as this record is, how
ever, what will impress motor car men
as even more noteworthy is the fact
that after such a trip the car was III
perfect condition, and was immediate
ly started on a six.day, nom stop run
without even going into the garage
That the record breakers were ac-
corded a fitting reception goes with
out saying. Upon the return Of the
car to Los Angeles enthusiastic Ca
dillac owners parade the streets in
honor Of the event. The dispatches
agree that IL was the greatest recep-
ton ever accorded a motor car and
it's crew in the West.

PACKARD EXHIBIT
At NEW YORK SHOW

Instead of showing the conventional
and well-known styles of open cars,
the Packard Motor Car Company ex-
hibits at the Eleventh National Auto
mobile Show in Madison Square Gar
den, New York, January to IA,
four cars, each of which has some
novel features.
The most striking car of the dis
play is the Packard Thirty" brouham,
which is a recent addition to the line
of Packard enclosed cars, 1t has a
five passenger, inside-operated body
on a phaeton chassis, this body being
interchangeable with the open phae-
ton body. There is no division i'm
the body, the driver and passenger
being all in the same enclosure. There,
is a door on each side, the right
door entering to the rear seat and
the left door entering to the front
seat There is folding seat ahead
of the left front seat similar to that
in the coupe. The car is trimmed
throughout with gray checkered
cloth that is an exclusive Packard
design. The trimming is novel as it
is done without the conventional
broadlace, being plain but elegant.
The car is painted entirely in black
and deep gray, while all the metal
parts are nickel plated.
The other enclosed car exhibited
in a Packard Thirty" coupe, which
is a two or three-passenger inside
operated car, the body of which is.
interchangeable with the open run
about body on either a Packard
Thirty" or Eighteen" runabout
chassis. The coupe exhibited is
tainted in bright red and black, the
body panels and running gear being
led. while the bonnet, tenders, upper
body and other similar parts are
black The monogram panel is bright
yellow The interior is trimmed in
light cloth that is one of the many
exclusive Packard upholstery mater
ials, designed and imported expressly
for trimming Packard enclosed cars.
At the rear of the drivers seat there
is a convenient pocket with a re-
movable tray. The left hand seat is.
further back than the drivers seat.
and there is sufficient space in front
of it for drop seat, which when not
in use, folds under the extension
over the dashboard.
There is also shown standard

NONSTOP FEAT OF
FLANDERS AUTO

In breaking the worlds nonstop
record by passing the 1904 mile
mark which was set more than one
year ago in Boston, the Flanders go
has made itself the most talked of car
in Southern California, according to a
night lettergram from L. j. Ollier,
manager of the Studebaker Brothers
Company branch in Los Angeles. AT
the licensed show now under way in
the southern metropolis, the interest
of the public in this particular machine
is being made manifest by the amount
of attention being given duplicates Of
the record car which are on exhibit
ton.
Ten thousand four hundred and
eighty-tive miles was the record of
the nonstop car at 6 o'clock last
Thursday night. Everyone who has
had an opportunity to examine the
car closely since it started on it's long
run at noon December I'd agree that
the machine is running as smoothly as
on the day it started or the day Il
broke the worlds record.
THE nom stop run in Los Angeles
proves conclusively what can be &C
complished with low priced car
when in the hands of careful opera
tor said Chester N. Weaver, general
manager of the Studebaker interests
in California yesterday Quantity pro-
duction makes it essential that all
cars of the same make be alike. w.

Flanders can be done with any other
Flanders cars with proper care and
without abuse. Not abusing a car
does not necessarily mean slow driv-
ing, for in the case of the Nonstop

has been maintained, much in excess
of the ordinary demands made upon
