COLE CAR BEATS EXPRESS
to Several Delays But Kept
Ahead of Train.

]
Ahead of Train.
Scattering practically every known
stock pleasure car highway speed rec
ord for the distance 100 of miles or
more. A. e. Higgins Of Buffalo. n ",
on Nov. Z, drove "A 1916 Cole Eight
stock touring car from Buffalo TO Ge-
neva, n. Y, a distance Of 1O7 miles,
in one hour and SIS minutes, defeating
the famous Black Diamond Express,
the prize train of the Lackawana rail-
road. by IA minutes. An average of
55.S miles an hour for the entire trip
was made including two stops and one
delay necessitated by a detour.
The engineman in charge Of the
Black Diamond knew that his train
had been pitted against the Cole Eight
and pressed the monster locomotive
to its utmost.
The Cole Eight and the express
train left Buffalo on even terms. pass
ing the city limits neck and neck. Just
as he crossed the starting line. Mr.
Higgins stepped on" the accelerator,
and from then on. the Cole eight cy-
Under car never once gave the train a
chance to catch up with II. Only one
passenger rode with Mr.. Higgins SO
that the car depended solely on its
natural balance and reliability in
self is regarded as one Of the most re-
markable features of the trip.
About 40 miles out a tire blew out
A stop was necessary, but a new pneu-
matte was in place in a little more than
two minutes, and the car was on its
way. The Cole Eight had acquired
such a good lead on the speeding
train, however, that even with this
stop, the express could not begin to
catch up with it.
Again at Avon, the car was threat
ened. Just as the limits Of the town
doomed up ahead, switch engine,
hauling a train of freight cars, lum-
bered on to the crossing and stopped.
The brakes had to be applied to pre-
vent collision and a wait Of several
minutes was encounted before Mr..
Higgins again secured the right of
way.
For the third time. the path Of the
car was crossed by an obstacle, when,
on little farther, IL was found nee
essary to make a six mile detour to
avoid stretch of road that was under
repair.
With all these hindrances, however.
the Cole Eight made the first 80 miles
of the journey in exactly 35 minutes,
and completed the first SO miles In
just 81 minutes. With the necessary
six-mile detour. the Cole Eight nego-
tiated 1O7 miles in making the trip,
while the route taken by the express
train between the two points is only
102 miles. Thus. the Black Diamond,
in point of actual distance covered,
had a five-mile advantage on the Cole
Eight.
Because of the two stops and the
detour, which prevented the motor
car from making the best possible
time, Mr.. Higgins has determined to
repeat the performance in the very
near future. adv.
