ALL CARS FINISH
RELIABILITY RUN
TN BEST OF TRIM
Last Leg of Test Over the Hills
to Poughkeepsie and Back
Over Good Roads.
ONLY ONE PENALTY ON TRIP
Experts Take Charge OF Autos
for Final Examinations This
Afternoon.

The five hundred-mile automobile re.
liability run of the Motor Dealers Con.
test Association ended when the eleven
competing cars finished the 1913 mile trip
to Poughkeepsie and return last night
So far as could be judged, all the ma
chimes finished the test in the best Of
condition, and were turned over to the
technical committee for final examination.
The machines will be washed to-day. and
David Beecroft and his corps of ex-
perts will go over them with almost
mcroscopical attention for loose nuts, en-
CINE troubles, looseness in steering gear
and springs and the like. There also will
be brake test. Then. after measuring
and computing the winner Will be an
nounced.
Only one road penalty marred the run
Yesterday The National car had blow
out Of the right front tire and ten black
marks were entered against il in the
! books
The smoothness Of the roads, the almost
early fall-like weather and the scenery
more than compensated for the hilliness
| Of the run along the Hudson. AS the cars
! bowled along close I'm the wake OF the
pacemaker every one in the party men,
tally cast a vote that the jaunt was
worth getting up for in the gray OF
morning.
The first leg OF the run was the longer.
! Starting AZ the Manhattan Automobile
! Club at o'clock in the morning, the
route led out Broadway to Dobbs Ferry.
! There il turned on a sort OF detour
through Ardsley and Brarcliff TO York
town Heights, and then back 10 the Al
| bany Post Road at Peekskill. The going
was OF the best for most of the way from
there on TO the noon control at the Mel
son House at Poughkeepsie, where tho
cars turned homeward.
There was one thrill on the route-a
turn narrow and short and shaped like
the letter s. To add TO the difficulties,
the corkscrew twist was on grade OF no
mean per cent. All the cars negotiated
the turn easily. but those with longer
wheel bases did not go through with
much TO spare.
One Of the conditions Of the test was
that the lights OF each car should be
kept burning during the first three hours
OF the run. Nine out of ten of the boys
and a lot OF the men passed along the
route gleefully called the riders atten-
ton with Hey, mister, yer lights are
burnin'."
One of the features OF the run was the
low consumption of gasolene. The aver
age was l212 gallons day for each car
