GRAND PR|X RACE
DATE IS CHANGED

william L. Hughson, special racing
commissioner, and Hollis e. Cooley,
chief of special events of the Panama
Pacific International exposition, wired
this week from San Francisco that
the date of the international grand
prix automobile race has been changed
from March 6 to Saturday, February
27. This classic race for the solid
gold cup of the Automobile Club of
America and a fortune in cash prizes
will be run over the same course as
the Vanderbilt cup race, inside the
exposition grounds. The Vanderbilt will
/ be staged on Washingtons birthday,
February %.
The fact that the two big contests
are to be run at the exposition when
hundreds of thousands of visitors are
in San Francisco, means that the at
tendance at these races will doubtless
break all records, eclipsing the enorm-
Gus attendance in the old days when
the classic Vanderbilt cup race was
held on Long Island.
The exposition boosters are planning

OCTOBER BEST MONTH
OF YEAR, SAYS DRAKE

EVERY man is apt to estimate bust
ness conditions by the results in his
own field" said President ]. Walter
Drake of the Hupp Motor Car COM
pany.
From the flying start that we have
made in the past two months on our
1916 output, I should judge that the
outlook for the years automobile busi-
ness among the cars of popular de-
mand and reputation was more than
encouraging.
Despite the war and other condi-
tions that seem to have had more
or less depressing effect on business
confidence, it will probably surprise
you to know that the month of Octo-
Der, in volume of business throughout
the United States surpassed any month
of the previous season. During this
period we shipped and sold for cash
1882 cars To be sure, in the month
of April, last, we shipped larger to-
tai of cars, but these included some
ESQ that went to foreign ports"

So great has the demand of motor
car makers been this season for space
at the fifteenth annual national auto
mobile show in Grand Central Palace,
New York. that for the first time four
floors of the huge building viii be
utilized for the display 81 complete
cars. The show is scheduled to open
Saturday, January 2, and will continue
until January 8. Even with four floors
available Manager S. A. Miles and the
show committee find that they are I'M
able to accommodate all of the appli-
cants for exhibition space. Heretofore
the fourth story of the palace has been
used exclusively for accessory eXhib-
itors, but some of these will be obliged

in former years In order to make room

The first act on the programme

ing of what is popularity known as
Twentieth Street hill at South Twenti-
eth street and Avenue G, on high speed
and the spedometer registering Is
miles an hour from the bottom to the
top of the steep grade. Nothing
daunted, the nose of the Cadillac was
turned up the Edgewood road over
Red mountain at the end of Twentieth
street, and on high speed took the hill
without an effort.
Back to Highland avenue and Syca-
more street there on a 20 per cent

the car up the grade with the four pas

on high speed. 1t is stated there Is no
other automobile in Birmingham or the
south that can do it. The wonderful
control over the machine in taking the

grades on this famous auto route was
rema rkable.
Mr.. Smith had done lot of talking.

ton between impulses, but an overlap
ping of strokes so complete as to pro-
duce a flow of power almost literally
liquid in its continuity.
I'VE sought the medium by which
the Cadillac would be endowed, not
with approximate freedom from gear
shifting, or approximate hill climbing
ability on high, or approximately swift
acceleration, but with the highest pos
sible form of these three character
istics.
This requirement pointed straight
to an eight-cyiinder Cadillac with four
power impulses during every revolution
of the flywheel--an impulse every
quarter turn. How fully these luxuries
of travel have been achieved, nothing
but your first memorable ride In the
new Cadillac can reveal. The engine
itself Is quite compact and does not
demand an unusually long space for It's
installation. There are two blocks OF
four cylinders each, mounted on the
erankoase at an angle of 80 degrees to
each other-from whence the designa-
tion "V-type." There is but one crank
Shaft and one camshaft. There are
eight cams on the camshalt. In firing,
there is a power impulse from cylin-
der on one side, followed by an impulse
from a cylinder on the opposite side,
the firing alternating, first one side
and then the other.
This gives eight impulses to each
complete cycle (of two revolutions) or
in other words, one impulse every quar-
ter turn of the flywheel.
1.-The advantage, of course, lies in the
fact that there is no intermission be-
tween impulses. The tongue is con-
slant and the flow of power is con-
tinuous, giving an engine in which vi
bration is practically nil, whether a.
low or high speeds.

Murder Report Not Verified

Washington, April 27-After a conference with President Will
son to-day, Secretary Bryan announced that all arrangements had
been completed to permit all Americans in Mexico City to leave
there. Seven hundred American men and women are preparing to
go, comprising the last remnants of the American colony.
Secretary Bryan said that so far a s authentic information was
concerned, he knew of no American citizen having been killed in
Mexico City or elsewhere in the Mexican republic within the last
few days Through the efforts of the British embassy here and the
British legation in Mexico City, the impression that Mexicans were
detained at Vera Cruz had been removed, as Mr. Bryan announced
yesterday.
Mr. Bryan said efforts were still being made to obtain the re-
lease of the 33 Americans detained at Aguas Caientes, and those
held up on the railroads between Mexico City and Vera Cruz
