 FOR OCTOBER 2
Motorists of New England and South Atlantic States to Compete-Ticket Of
 flee on Broadway

Officials of the Sheepshead Bay Speed way are already beginning to be besieged with applications for boxes. seats and parking spaces for the opening race on October 9 So large is the number of ap- plications and inquiries that the manage ment has thus early been forced to make arrangements to handle them. Accord ingly ticket office will be opened on August l at 1896 Broadway. It is located between Ffty-third and Fifty-fourth streets, not only in the heart of Auto mobile row, but convenient to the hotel and theatre district as well
 Inquiries come not only from indivd uals. but from the clubs well. It is evident that not only in New England and the eastern states will club runs be or Ganized with Sheepshead Bay inaugural race as their objective point, but that the middle west will also promote race-going tours; for the Wolverine Automobile club is planning a run that will land the cara van from the motor car building metropolis in town early enough for the Detroit mechanical sharps to witness as well the elimination trials which will begin on September 24.
 A noteworthy contingent of visitors who
  motor caravan will be the contenders in the big team reliability contest which is being promoted by C. c. Sinsabaug ed itor of Motor. Five men teams are being formed to represent New York, Philadel pha and Baltimore It is probable that Chicago, Boston, Buffalo and Cleveland also will compete
 The contest will start at Washington and continue through Baltimore and Phil adelphia to this city. MT. Sinsabaugh has arranged the time schedule so as to land the contestants in New York in time for the race. It is his belief that the com pettors will be accompanied by big escort of noncontending racebound cara vans from the cities and towns en route.
 In this connection it may be noted that owners makers and drivers are already asking for entry blanks. They may be fad not only from EVerard Thompson, general manager of the Sheepshead Bay Speedway corporation, l7 Battery Place hut also from James C. Nichols, 1871 Broadway, and Fred J. Wagner, Room 614, United States Rubber building, 1790 Broadway, where enry blanks for Minne- apolis, Des Moines and Elgin may also be obtained
