| BY way of emphasis, we might
again cite an urgent need for auto
mobiles and money to take care Of
the orphans on the annual outing on
the 18th. This is one piece of charity
work that comes each year and offers
an opportunity for everyone to assist
to some degree or another. A small
donation from a great many will
make possible to the greatest degree
of success this annual outing We
would again ask you to direct your
cash subscriptions to Joseph H.
Wood, of the Newark Express and
Transportation Company, or if you
have a car and wish to place it at
the disposal of the committee for this
day communicate with C. L. Fitz-N
gerald, 20 Bradford place.
George Eveland, manager for the
local distributors of the Stevens
Duryea, has just returned from a
trip to the factory. Mr.. Eveland is
very enthusiastic over the approach
of the 1914 product. and it would app
pear that he has every reason to be
so, for the Stevens-Duryea is regard
ed as one of the most efficient Of
high priced cars.
Secretary Mann of the New Jersey
Automobile Trade Association has
sent out notices of a meeting to be
held at the Washington restaurant
today for the purpose of making
necessary changes in the bylaws of
the organization to permit the expan-
sion plan recently adopted by the
board of trustees. President w. H.
Ellis, in referring to the proposed
plans, stated that he fully appreci-
ated the extent to which the enlarge-
ment of the organization has become
necessary, and promises that within
short time it will be valuable as
set to the entire membership.
w T. Ackor has consummated
plans which will bring about his re-
turn to Newark as manager of the
Mais Sales Company. Mr.. Ackor un-
til recently has been connected with
the Norwalk Motor Car Company,
New York, and his return to New
ark simply places him in a centre
where he is extremely we'll known
and should be a valuable asset to
the company of whose interests he
has taken charge here.
An attempt to organize reunion
of those who took part in the
memorable New York Pittsburgh
endurance contest in 1903 Is now being |
made in New York city.

lating to the run the musical nedap'

The following members of the or

C. Wetmore, of New York; Howard
G. Reynolds and John C. Kerrison, of
Boston: Webb jay, of Chicago;

AS far as keeping the amateur and
the professional apart in motor rae
ing, 1t is much more difficult to do SO
than it is in many other lines of ath-
letics, if motor car racing can be
classed with athletics. There is a
chance, however, for the A. A. A.
contest board to inaugurate an anna
teur class, but that class must not be
connected with the trade, but must
be drawn from the million or more
car owners of the country. The pro-
fessional of today in motor-car rae
ing is above board and Is what he
processes to be. But the amateur, for
the most part, has never been that,
but rather has been of what was
known as the Glass B" type, which
many remember so well in connection
with bicycle racing. That was a
sham and straddle between the two
classes.
