al Livingstone drove the car. TO- vic
tory, and a day later added to its fame
by finishing second to. milford in the
Elgin National. Another first place
was gained. by. Johnny Aitken$ at Phil
adelphia, when he won his class in
the Fairmount park:neetf r.
Chadwick Cicteries.
+: The Chadwick also fsy credited with
two victories. One Of these was the
Fairn.ount park race itself and the
other class victory at the same
meet. The Alec is we'll satisfied with
its performance in 1910, because it
gratified it's ambition to again win
the Vanderbilt, which it did in clev-
er manner. Eight different makes Of
cars shared the honors in the small
car events Of the year; one each 60
ing to the Abbott Detroit, Cole, Duro,
Falcar, Kisselkar, Lancia, Maxwell
and Pullman.
Going back to 1909 for the purpose
of comparisons, there we're also FOUR
teen different makes of cars which
won races, but of these fourteen only
three of them won brackets in 1910,
the Marmon, Maxwell and Alec. The
Chalmers, the star of 1909, did not
support racing team in 1910, and
not single Chalmers car started
In any of the past seasons road races.
The Buick, which was the Chaln.ers'
greatest rival the veal previous, only
had ono starter in 1910. the company
devottng all its energies in a racing
way to the Marquette-Buick, which
gained considerable fame by landing
third place in the grand prix, 1t be-
ing the first American car to finish.
Among those which won in 1909 and
which did not win race in 1910
were the Pope-Hartford, Simplex, APP
person; Fiat, Stoddard Dayton;
Palmer Singer, Cadillac. Sharp Ar
row and Colburn. Undoubtedly the
drivers of the ccntesting cars were
the big factors in the road racing con-
tests of 1910. Many a good car was
beaten because its entrant did not
have a skillful pilot. for In many cases
drivers were selected who had not
had road racing experience When
they were submitted to the heavy fir
ing they were found lacking and in
i most cases finished among the ALSO
rams. The recent season however,
produced many new stars. In fact,
It is a case of new blood all through
the list of winning drivers. The big
stars of 1909 have. fallen by the way
side and the new generation promises
a brilliant future for the American
racing world. Of the men who start
ed in 1910-Dingley, Robertson. Louis
Chevrolet, Hanshue. Matson, Grant,
Fleming. Harroun. Knipper, SBurtIan,
de Palma and See-Grant and Knip-
per are the only ones who won a race
in the past season. Dingley, the star
Of 1909, when he won two races, was
showed into the background by the
new generation and had II not. been
for the Los Angeles events. where
he won two seconds. he would have
been ranked among the als6rfans. In
Justice to de Palma 1t might be ev-
plained that he drove in only one
road race and that the grand prix, in
which he was robbed of possible
victory BY breakdown when the fin
fishing tape was almost In sight, Louis
Chevrolet drove in only che 4Uad race
and that the Vanderbilt saftSr (which
he retired from, the racing game.
