RIDES. IN NATIONAL. TOUR

When the motorcyclists participating
in the four. national tours rolled into
Columbus to attend the recent meet OF
the Federation OF American Motorcy-
clists. the residents Of ohio's capital city
got new impression of Iotorcyclista
and motorcycling.
The riders came by the hundred. In an
orderly. quiet manner. They had enjoyed
their ride-some of them coming from
as far as Baltimore, Md: Louisville,
KY; Chicago, and Syracuse. N. Y. Not
only had they enjoyed their trips. but
they positively .radiated their enjoyment.
The fact that the modern motorcycles
could bear their riders over so many
miles Of country roads. swiftly and sure
ly. and bring the riders to their destina-
ton on schedule time rather astonished
the people of Columbus.
They were pleased with the appear
ance of the machines and the riders after
their long trips, and they were aston
ished to find among the riders several
women, who rode right along with the
other tourists, making the trip easily
and comfortably.
Among the women who rode to the +.
A. NJ. convention in the national tours
was Mrs. w. r. Dreher OF Toledo. Mrs.
Dreher made the trip from Toledo, and
enjoyed every minute of it,. She Joined
the Chicago tour en- route. and. riding
at the side of Mr.. Dreher. easily MAIN
tanned the pace set by the tour master.
Mrs. Dreher found the motorcycle
simple in its operation, and managed
her machine easily from the very first
day Of her motorcycling experience.
'Motorcycling Is the best fun in the
world" she says. "and 1t brings health
as well as pleasure"
Mrs. Dreher makes many trips through
Ohio on her nacr ne, and is often seen
on the streets and boulevards in Toledo.

The letter follows:
ITO the Bedford-Buick belongs the
glory OF winning the most severe endur-
ance contest of the year. the imperial
Russian reliability trials winning the
gold pokal presented by the Grand Duke
Michael Alexandrovitch at Moscow at the
close of the fourteen days contest over

so. the one and only Bedford-Buick car
entered for the competition won first

.'On the fourth day another flying kilo-
meter competition at Riga was won by
the Bedford-Buick
"On the ninth day at KIefr the hill
competition took place. and here again
the Bedford Buick won the first prize.
During the closing stages of the trials

Particular interest attaches to this re-
markable performance of this London

Petit, a young man twenty-five years
old. who is an American, coming from
the State of Texas.

FROM DETROIT TO ST. LOUIS
Harry Grover Makes Run in CadfI-
lac in Thfrty-three Hours.

Grover drove from Detroit to ST. Louis
recently and made the a record covering
the distance of 619 miles in 50 hours and
IS minutes. The best previous record
even when the driving was done in the
neighborhood of IS hours. Mr.. Growers
achievement has created widespread in
terest and has been the subject OF a
great deal of comment.
Mr.. Grover is the St. Louis County
agent for the Bagnell Auto Company, and
his extraordinary trip was prompted by a
recent round-table discussion over the
merits of the Cadillac car, with special
reference to the simplicity of its opera
ton. Mr. Grover waxed enthusiastic, de-
scribing at length the ease with which the
Cadillac is driven, its various appliances,
and devices. its remarkably efficient Delco
electric self-cranking attachment. Re-
Gently he suffered fracture of his right
arm in an accident In the enthusiasm of
his argument he allowed that. crippled as
he was. he could drive a Cadillac on a
considerable road tour, confirming himself
to one hand.
The sporting blood of Mr.. Growers
friends was aroused. W. F. Siegmund.
a prominent business man of st. Louis,
wanted to make a wager and the result
was that $3.50 was put up that Mr., Grover
could not drive from Detroit to st. Louis,
using only one hand. Arrangements were
made tn start the trip from the plant of
the Cadillac Motor Car Company, in De-
troit, so that 1913 model might be used
Mr. Grover was accompanied to Detroit
by Mr. siegmund and Guy Fisher presi-
dent of the Fisher Jewellery Company, of
st. Louis, as these two gentlemen wanted
to act as observers and also partake of
the fun. Mr.. Grover secured a brand new
1913 car, right from the factory. The start
was msde from Detroit at a. m, Mon
day, August 19. The finish was at 1884
a. m. Tuesday, August 20. Mr.. Siegmund
and Mr.. Fisher saw to 1t that Mr.. Grover
confined himself TO his left hand.
