ON ONE ELECTRIC CHARGE
Waverly Carries Three Persons, Does
SO.8 Miles and Has Juice
to Spare.

With weather and road conditions
far from favorable. Waverly electric
brougham, carrying three persons
made the round trip from the Munich
pal building in this city to the city
hall in Baltimore last Wednesday on a
single battery charge. A strong north
east gale prevailed throughout the
trip. while at numerous points along
the Baltimore-W Washington boulevard
workmen were engaged in repairing
the highway. all of which tended to
retard the progress of the machine.
Despite these conditions the round
trip was made and at the finish of the
trip the odometer registered sos miles
The start was made at S.34 o'clock
"Wednesday morning from the Munich
pal building. The electric was driven

The route was through the northeast
section of the city and thence over the
Baltimore shington boulevard. Bal
timore was reached at 1924 o'clock,
making the elapsed running time four
hours fiat. Deducting fifteen minutes
for stops en- route. the actual running
time was 3 hours and As minutes. After
stopping for luncheon the return trip
was started at 2:25 o'clock in the after
noon. The National Capital was reach
ed at 1857 pm. making the elapsed
time on the return trip hours and 81
minutes, from which was deducted 1
hour and twenty minutes for stops.
leaving the actual running time four
hours and twenty-five minutes, or
total of seven hours and fifty-seven
minutes for the round trip.
The road from Mt. Olivet cemetery to
the District line was being resurfaced
with pulverized macadam, which, with
the freshly sprinkled surfaces, made
the highway heavy at the finish of the
run. The long route into Baltimore,
via Wilkens avenue. was follodei, the
Columbia avenue entrance to the Mon
umental city being blocked just be-
yond Elkrdge, Md. The machine was
equipped with solid tires and excide
batteries. After being checked in at
the Municipal building the car reeled
off several additional miles before re-
turning to the garage for the night.
