NEW SERIES OF SIMPLEX
Luxurious Bodies, with 1S-Inch
Seat Depth, Are on View.

Having long ago abandoned the yearly
model idea. the Simplex Automobile Com
pany has been bringing out AZ intervals
new designs in bodies which were created
by the prevailing European styles and the
demand OF buyers. For the fall season
the company announces several new de-
signs in lnclosed bodies The popular 3s-
horsepower shaft drive and the 80 and
90 horsepower chain driven models will
be continued.
The equipment includes dual ignition,
demountable rims, tires and an efficient
sclf-star,ing device. In addition the 49,
and 80" are produced in 1877 and 1Se inch
wheel base respectively. These long chas-
sis are extremely popular among those
who appreciate easy riding qualities.
Simplex cars are equipped with the new
type Of the de luxe body. OF the latest Eu-
ropean design. Being low. they insure
case and comfort TO the passenger on all
kinds OF roads. The upholstery Is Of the
finest OF European materials. the cush-
ions being eighteen inches in depth and
the seats low and deep, TO insure perfect
riding comfort. Wide doors are another
feature OF merit.

Good Sport Is Promised
Local Speed Enthusiasts
on Labor Day.

Although the time for preparation 10
short il Is not improbable that some fast
cars, outside of the string campaIgned
by Ernest Moross, will take part In the
Labor Day races over the Brighton Beach
track Several local automobile agents,
it Is understood, have cars that they are
glad OF a chance to enter and there IL a
fair probability OF large fields facing the
starter in some OF the events.
Apart from the Moross flyers. the speed
enthusiasts will see at least two cars that
have been tuned to top notch speed, ana
which are said to be capable of giving
even specially built racers hard run
These are the go and 40 Bergdolls.
The entries OF these have already been
made, and they are likely TO take part In
nearly all OF the contests.
Public interest naturally will centre In
the new Bitten Benz. more powerful
edition OF the car OF the same name
which has already made racing history
on the Florida beach course. Burman
will handle the new and the old Blitzens,
as we'll as the Cutting. which he drove

FOREIGN MAKERS awake.
Peugeot Entries at Milwaukee
MAY Bring Others.

Since the announcement was made early
;ast week that Georges Boillot. the win
ner OF the French Grand Prix, was to
drive a Peugeot car in the Vanderbilt Cup
and Grand Prize races at Milwaukee. Sep
tember II to 81. a number OF foreign man
ufac.urers have oabled the Milwaukee An
tomobile Dealers Association for informa-
ton and entry blanks of the contests. and
IL Is likely that several more fast ma
chimes and drivers will come from across
the water for the meet.
The entries already at hand OF the
Peugeot. Fiat. Benz and Mercedes ma
chimes represent France. Italy and Ger
many. and II is probable that England
also will be represented.
Great interest has been centred in the
entry OF Boillot 1t will be recalled that
Bruce Brown twice winner OF the Amer
lean Grand Prize. won the first leg OF the
French Grand Prix this year. and had
things his own way on the second day
until his car ran out OF gasolene.
There has been a great deal OF discus
sion since az 10 what the outcome OF the
French race would have been had not
this incident occurred. For that reafon
the duel between Bruce Brown and Boil
LOT will be keeniy watched at Milwaukee.
There is no getting away from the fact
that Boillot is great driver. a. his
victories in Europe are numerous.
The arrangements for the Milwaukee
races arc going on apace, and will be
the most elaborate ever made for a rond
Ysee in this country. The course which

TO MAKE TOURING EASY
