officer blows his whistle. and the procession
starts up for the next control as the
automobilist would call 1t.
What happens? While the horse drivers
are struggling with their teams to make a
start. the alert motor wagon driver has
thrown in his clutch or turned his control
ler as the case may be, steered deftly TO
one side, and gained few places IN the
procession OF vehicles. He does the same
thing wherever possible, and in passing
through such an area as tho Chicago loop

and the horse vehicle took twenty-three
minutes to travel through the four blocks

FINE YACHT RACING SURE
LarChmont Week Set for July
2O.27 and Committee Named.
BOUCHER AGAIN CHAIRMAN
Late Date Agrees with Other
Clubs Events - Schooner
Contests To Be Feature.

Commod6re Leonard Richards Of the
Larchmont Yacht Club has just appointed
his regatta committee for 1912 Horace F..
Boucher again is the chairman and his as
sistants will be Lawrence Daily and Fred
erlck Sparry. The committee held its first
meeting yesterday and announced that
Larchmont Week, the most important fxt-
ure in American yachting. will be seven
days later than 1t has been In former
years The week starts this year on July
20. and will run to July 27. both dates in
elusive.
The change was made following several
meetings Of the regatta committees of the
New York, the Larchmont and the East
ern yacht clubs. For several years the
dates OF these important organizations
have clashed, and many Corinthians who
have desired to take part in the fixtures
Of the three clubs have found It impossi-
BILE. The Eastern Yacht Club holds its an
nual cruise early in July. The feet dis
bands at Bar Harbor SO late in July that
II was impossible for the owners TO get
back 10 Long Island Sound 10 sail In the
Larchmont regatta.
Owing to Maine weather conditions, it
was impossible to hold the Eastern cruise
earlier. The Larchmont fixture therefore,
had to be changed, but 10 put 1t later con-
ficted with the annual cruise Of the New
York Yacht Club. The latter organization
was willing TO advance its date TO August
g. which enabled the Larchmont club 10
hold its race week during the week OF
July 90
The Larchmont organization has decided
to make racing among the double -stickers
the feature of it's classic. Commodore
Richards has offered a cup for the Elena
the Westward the Enchantress and the
Irolita. the four most important schooners
in the country.
Vice-Commodore George NJ. Pynchon
will supply the trophy for the next class
of schooners, division that probably will
include the Corona, the Elmina, the Nancy,
the Endymion. the Muriel and the Prin-
cess. The smallest schooners will race
for a cup offered by Rear Commodore
Francis NJ. Wilson. There probably will
start the Cygnet, the Eclipse, the Miladi'
the Dervish, the VagrSnt. the Grampus.
the Katrina. the Vision, the Winona' the
shyessa and another schooner about TO be
built for an Eastern Yacht Club owner.
Unless present plans are misleading all
records are going at Larchmont this sum-
mer. Plans already are being formed In
every yachting centre TO send large dele
cations to the hospitabie Long Island Sound
organization. At a meeting OF the Yach'
Racing Association of Gravesend Bay last
week at the Crescent Athletic Club II was
decided to hold no races on the Lower
Bay during the race week.

CLASSIC RACE IN DOUBT
Future of Grand Prize Contest
Puzzles Enthusiasts.
RENEWAL EAGERLY DESIRED
Many Foreign Firms Engaged in
French Classic Could Probably
Be Induced to Enter.

Since tho announcement made a week
ago by the Savannah Automobile Club that
IT will not take the initiative in promoting
a renewal of the Grand Prize race. there
has been a great deal of discussion on the
subject in local automobile circles. The
consensus Of opinion appears to be that. as

clal end OF the argument. mistake would
be made in allowing the race to lapse or
in permitting the subject to remain in doubt
until too late date.
With the Automobile Club Of France ar

OF European firms which have not partici-
pated In races for several years have made
entries IL is felt that several OF these can

The probability Is. in fact. that this year

ranged and at an early date. can be made
more representative tran any other contest
since the great struggle Of 1908 at Savan-
nah.
That this can be brought about, however,
Is doubtful IL the matter Is allowed TO lag
for three or four months. Right now. in
the opinion Of many who are hopeful or
renewal Of the race, the solicitation OF en-
tries should be under way in Europe. There
is a feeling that the Automobile Club OF
America, donor OF the famous gold cup,
should take the matter up, but its Internal
troubles appear TO be all that the leading
sprits OF the big organization are willing
to worry about at this time. Perhaps when
the administration and the insurgents set
tie their differences something along the
Grand Prize line may develop.
II was rumored last week but apparent
IL without any strong basis, that Atlanta
will make a bid for the big road race, If
Savannah takes no definite steps In that
direction. The former city has always been
Jealous Of the reputation gained by sa-
vannah in the motor racing line. and some
Of its leading citizens would undoubtedly
welcome an opportunity to take up the con-
duct of such an important contest. such
a move would probably anchor the race In
Savannah more firmly than ever.
The Fiat company is now displaying in
its salesroom a replica OF the Grand Prize
cup, the reward OF winning the initial con-
test in 1908. It Is Of silver and heavily
gold plated and differs in no detail, ex-
cept that OF value. from the famous orig
inaI. In this connection there Is a rather
interesting story.
| In the original deed Of gift OF the Grand
! Prize it was provided that each winner
should relinquish the trophy after holding
II for a year. and should receive in return
a replica. When the Fiat people asked for
their substitute cup they found that the
A. c. A. expected to give a small edition
| of the trophy. 1t developed that more had
been promised by the deed OF gift than had
been intended, the exact meaning OF the
word not having been understood. The
Fiat people insisted on compliance with
the regulations and they won out.

Mr.. McCondra used a stock Hupmobile and

deal of attention.
1t was Mr. McCondra's intention to see
what the Hupmobie could do on two gal

miles as the minimum. With this amount
sealed in his reservoir he started out at

that. his speedometer registered seventy

used a pint Of lubricatirg oil. Mr.. Nc
Condra drove at an average speed often
miles an hour. 1t was not necessary TO

What do you think Of having a fur

good scheme, is it not If there were
to be no dust and ashes In The
House That Jack Built. a novel article
in Suburban Life magazine for May,
that Is just what was done-the fur
mace was placed on the ground door.
To quote from the article: THE fur
mace is set in what would be a closet
just off the hall. Cold airholes were
drilled all around, one foot from the
top and the bottom, and as it heats
by radiation, like a stove. the side par
titions to the closet were left out, and
the grill work built in. Through this
the furnace easily heats the whole
house on only four tons Of coal a year.
