Rev. Lyon of Baltimore, who made
an address favoring the race segre-
cation in Baltimore, is at it again.

of man can not be realized in Amer
ica, and suggested Africa as the
proper place for the Afro-Americans.
Bro. Lyon was there for many years,
why did he not remain?

the course on Long Island, and the polio
ing Of the course at the southern city was
in absolute contrast to the methods pur-
sued at former races. But the fact that
the Lozier was the first American car OF
the shaft driven type to triumph in this
race since its inception furnishes an am
pie demonstration that automobile manu-
facturers in this country are at least
keeping pace with foreign producers OF
high-powered cars.
The greatest contrasts In the speed rec
ords of the Vanderbilt race are shown be-
tween the races of 1904 and 1905, and 1910
and 1911. In both 1905 and 1911 the aver
age time was nearly ten miles per hour
faster than in the previous year. The
time made by the Lozier in 1912 was
almost twenty-five miles per hour faster
than the time made by the Panhard in
the first Vanderbilt only seven years ago.
