heath" of the donor of the trophy The first Vanderbilt cup race was run on Long Island roads, the sum mer home of Col. Pabst
 The Pabst trophy race is open to cars of 231 to 300 cubic inches piston displacement, which is the standard of measurement now used to desig- nate the classes of cars for racing purposes The race will be approxi- matclN 200 miles. or twenty-five cir cults of the eight-mile WauWatosa course. meaning that the cOntestng cars will speed past the grandstands and past all other points on the course at least tWentY-siX times. The race will be started promptly at III o'clock on the morning of Friday, September 70, and figuring on the basis of the best speed ever made by ears of the 231 300 cubic inch class in any American road race. the contest should be finished by 2:30 o'clock The fact that the speedy French Peugeot team has never be- fore competed in an American road race may make the average time even better for the probable speed of the French Grand PriX winners mount may run considerably in eX- cess of the best time ever made by an American ear of this class.
 Rich Prize for Winner
 The winner of the Pabst trophy will be comfortably rich for not only will ha be awarded the 5000 cup deeded by Col. Pabst, but $1,000 ill gold coin hung up by the Milwaukee
 A4rrA1nAI.fIE.. f,s the event. In addition. the stake will he enriched by secret purse
 Pabst means to give the first win for the driver, sealed in the base Of
 the Pabst trophy about which there
 is much mystery, for Colonel Pabst
 means to give the first winner of this
 beautiful cup an additional reward
 which will make the victory worth
 winning. Colonel Pabst refuses to
 say definitely the amount of coin he
 has placed in the cup. but an idea
 of the sum may be gained from the fact that the secret purse will con sist entirely of $10 gold pieces stack ed face to face in a special recep- tacle in the base at the bottom of the bowl of the cup. The Pabst trophy stands nearly 51 inches high,
 from the ebony base to the tip of the figure surmounting the top.
 In addition to the purse of gold there will be still another prize for the winner. in the shape of q special donors trophy, given by Colonel Pabst for permanent possession by the driver who wins his cup. The trophy proper will remain in the possession of the winning driver only until it is won by another in sim liar competition q year from now. It is perpetual trophy. like the Van derbilt. to be contested for year after year under the same conditions The Vanderbilt cup already has been won and lost seven times.
 The contest rules of the American Automobile association will govern the Pabst trophy races.
 The drivers who win second place in both Pabst and Wisconsin ChaI- lengc races will receive gold coin in
 the sum of $500, while the third place cars will draw down $250 and the fourth placers get $125 in cash. Manufacturers of automobile parts. such as magnetos, carburetors, tires, eac are offering large cash pTlzes to all place winners in each of the
 four races. One magneto company, | for instance. will hand the winner of the Vanderbilt cup $500 in cash.
 In fact, the winner of any one of the four races will leave Milwaukee | fairly wealthy as a reward for his | sI,;n in driving motor car at mad I naca around and around a course of ! aiob+ miles in a manner that places l him in the position or outStTl "9 any and all competitors But II is not alone the filthy Iucre that makes men tempt fate for there is glory
 and honor enough for a lifetime in a victory of this kind.
