The motor was sealed when the Pat

the Windy City under the eyes of Off
Gals of the Chicago Automobile club.
Two observers We're appointed by the
club to accompany the car, and their
report will show that the motor was
not stopped until after arriving in New
York. Nor did it undergo the slight
est adjustment, the seals being unbrok-
en- at the end of the run.
AS the run was made under the aus
pieces of the Chicago Automobile club,
it is understood the record will stand
as official.
The Patterson car carried four pas

Detroit. the relief driver, and the OBJ
servers, ]. E. Williams and William
Gollan. Relays of pilots were recruit
ed from cities along the route The
passengers ate their meals in the car
