GOOD ROADS TRIP
STARTS TOMORROW
Number of Automobiles Leave for Tour of Inspection
in Virginia. Poted by Charles E. Miller in Velie
and With Richmond as Objective Point.
By HARRY WARD.

A number Of automobiles will leave
Washington tomorrow morning on a
road inspection trip through Virginia
| under the auspices Of the Touring Club
| of America and the American Associa-
ton for Highway Improvement. Rich
mond will be the objective point Of the
! tourists, and II is expected that city will
| be reached Tuesday afternoon. The
| run tomorrow will be to Culpeper, with
stops at Fairfax and Warrenton. On
| the following day the tour will continue
to Richmond, with stops at Orange, Cor
| louisville, and Louisa.
The pilot car will be a Velie, driven
by Charles E. Miller, one Of the pioneer
automobile drivers Of this city. 1t will
1 carry Col. Henry McNair. editor of
| the Automobile Blue Book, and the
automobile editors Of the Washington
newspapers. Among the passengers iii
the other cars will be Lee Folger, an
automobile dealer Of Richmond, who ar
rived in Washington yesterday in
seven-passenger Packard. and who will
carry Frederick H. Elliott, secretary of
the Touring Club of America; Paul D.
Sargent, acting director office Of public
roads; P. ST Julien Wilson, state high
way commissioner of Virginia. ]. E.
Pennybacker. secretary of the American
Association for Highway Improvement.
This will be the first tour ever held
in this country having for its direct OBJ
ject road improvement methods in which
an automobile organization has had
the active aid of the Government and
State officials. The touring party has
received invitations from the various
civic organizations and boards of trade
along the route to make careful inspec-
ton of the road conditions in their Sec
tiOns.
Vice President Sherman, who is hon
orary chairman of the touring clubs
Southern department is expected to
start the cars on their run tomorrow
from the Colorado building, where the
clubs quarters in this city are located.
While in Richmond the tourists will

and November l. 1t is expected more
than 500 motorists will tour to Richmond
for this convention. and the majority
of them will pass through Washington.
Addresses on good roads will be made
by many prominent men. If previous
engagements do not interfere ii is prob
able President Taft will address the
convention.
The road inspection tour is sure to
have a far-reaching effect on the good
roads movement in Virginia, as that
State has been one the last of the
Southern States to take up the good
roads movement. Logan Waller Page,
director Of the office of public roads.

been trying to arouse the same spirit
of enthusiasm on the good roads ques-

cannot be held without adequate police
protection, which. of course, would not

fraternity is up in the air as to the ulti-
mate outcome. Despite Mayor Rey-

justed satisfactorily to their orga MIA
ton the necessary police protection af-
forded, and the event conducted as in

horsepower are included in the Oakland
line. The Oakland has been in the lime
light on numerous occasions during the
last few weeks on account of its splea-
did showing in hill climbs and endur-
ance contests. To date the Oakland has
total of eight hill-clmbing events to
its credit this year, and Harold Bauer,
head of the Oakland Company's contest
department, Is confident he will add a
few more laurels to the Oakland crown
before the season ends. Two Oakland
roadsters, one a 30 and the other a 40
horsepower competed in the three-day

News, and each made a perfect score.
No mechanical troubles of any nature
were encountered during the strenuous

trouble experienced by either machine
was one puncture.
