WILL CROSS CONTINENT
IN MOTOR CYCLE RELAY
Start to Be Made From Washington
July 10 to Baltimore, Thence
West to San Francisco. 60

Much interest has been aroused in
motor cycle circles throughout the
United States by the proposal of the
Federation of American Motor Cyclists
to conduct a transcontinental motor
cycle relay, in which a message Is to be
carried by motor cycle from Washing
ton to San Francisco. July Is was the
date originally set for the start Of the
relay, bu. through the efforts of Wash
ington people interested in the event
it is probable that the start will be
made Monday. July 10.
The primary purpose of the relay is
to demonstrate the suitability of the
motor cycle for military dispatch work.
and officials of the War Department
are said to be keenly interested in the.
forthcoming test. A number of motor
cycles have BEEN furnished to members
of the Signal Corps of the United States
Army, and other branches of the service
are being equipped with the swift and
efficient two-wheeler.
The morning of July 10 a message
from President Wilson will be delivered
into the hands Of Frank s. Long, F. L.
Leishear and ]. Mel. Seabrook. This
team, all mounted on Indian motor
cycles, will carry the message to Bal
timore, the nrst OF a long series of re-
lay stations. where 1t will be taken up
by a team of Henderson riders and
carried to Philadelphia. From that
city to New York the message will be
carried by a team of three riders
mounted on Merkel motor cycles. From
New York to Poughkeepsie the mes-
sage will be carried by q team of Ex-
celsior riders. The message will be
carried across the continent in relays
of approximately 100 miles each. and
will be delivered into the hands of the
president Of the Panama ma-Pacinc exposi-
tion. Chairman John L. Donovan Of the
r. A. NJ. competition committee. who
has charge Of the relay. has estimated
that the message will reach its desti-
nation within 160 hours after leaving
Washington.
Rehearsal Set for July II.
In order that the riders all along the
route may be familiar with the roads
over which the message-will be carried,

France Offers Profitable Field.

The ousting of German automobiles
and accessories from the French market
will leave an opening for American prod
ucts. Patriotic feeling runs so high that
it is certain few German goods can be
offered for sale in France for years after
the war. An important phase of this situ-
alton is that successful dealers who have
hitherto handled German cars will be
open to take other lines Every Ameri
can firm having tried to do business in
France has been brought face to face
with the difficulty Of getting live deal
ers of good standing to take up their
lines. The best men were tied up with
French, Italian or German houses and
would not undertake to do the mission
ary work necessary to put an American
firm in good standing on the continent
Evening star., 1915-07-04

the local riders expect to cover the dis
tance in less than one hour. The start
will be made in front of the White
House, and the exchange point in Bal
timore will be located at some promi-
nent downturn corner. so that consider
able time will be lost by the riders in
passing through the. congested portions
of both cities. Chairman Donovan Is
specially desirous that good showing
should be made in the early relays, but
has cautioned the riders that accidents
must be avoided. The road from Wash
ington to Baltimore will be patrolled
by Washington riders. who will warn
all traffic and keep the road clear for
the speeders.

or some one appointed by him. and
shall be in the form Of a time allow
ance based on a cars performance ell
ther in practice or competition on the
day Of the handicap event.
No handicap event may be run on
any days program until the cars en-
tered therein have competed in at least
one previous event on the same day.
No handicap event on q track one
mile or more in length may be run for
a greater distance than ten (10) miles.
than one mile in length may be run for
a greater distance than five (5) miles.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
rule be put into effect as quickly as
possible, and that all cars registered
during the balance Of 1915 shall carry
such registration to December 81. 1916.

Chairman Donovan has ordered COM
plete rehearsal to be held July II. No
attempt to establish speed records will
be made at this time, but in transport
ing the message the riders will be ex-
pected to make the best possible time
between exchange points. officials of
the Federation of American Motor Cy-
clists all along the route to be covered
by the message bearers are making
strong efforts to obtain a suspension of
the speed laws in order that the relay
riders may not be interfered with by
speed traps.

team, from this city to Baltimore. is
