The Vincent Aston Cup.

o,ite a hit Of color was added TO the Sheepshead
Raw Speedway development during the last week by
tho announcement that Vincent Aston had donated
challenge trophy and that the name Of the open
ing race has been changed from the American to
the Aston Cup.
Mr. Aston has not hitherto taken serious IN
terest in motor racing although he has long been
q member of the Automobile Club of America and
has for wears driven fast He is not speed
enthusiast in the same sense that William n Van
derbilt jr, was in the early days of motor racing
hut now that he has donated cup, 1t is hkely ne
will take greater interest in speed contests.
In addition to the Aston Cup, the Speedway ON
Gals will offer cash prize Of $4,000 Tor the ooo-
mile race TO be run October 2. The prize Will be
distributed among the drivers, probably down TO
the tenth man to finish, although this detail has
not been fully settled.
The last reports on the progress OF the Speedway
indicated that it will be finished within two weeks
somewhat ahead Of the schedule time. Saturday.

which the train was compelled TO make from the
main roads were not strong enough TO hold the
heavy vehicles The men had to test all OF the
bridges before going over them, and / understand
that nearly dozen weak bridges were bolstered up
and some of them completely rebuilt before
the train could proceed.
"The concrete bridges which are being put in
along the state roads ample TO hold practically
all Of the vehicles available to-day, but we must
not forget that army is compelled, very ire
ouently. to leave the main highway.
at is seldom desirable in fact, for soldiers to
20 into camp along the main road. They must seek
protected locations and to reach them they must
detour into the woods and the roads leading to the
ideal places for camping are not now htted with
bridges of sufficient strength.
II want to express my thanks to all the manu-
facturers who have contributed to the organizing of
the motor train for the instruction camp this year
This is the largest that have ever been able to
muster, and trust that this beginning will de-
velop into something OF important size before
the time arrives for our next instruction camp.
The credit for organizing the present motor
train must be given TO Captain Raynal {. Boiling,
general solicitor Of the United States Steel Corpo-
ration who worked faithfully in getting together
the fifteen vehicles which came into camp this
afternoon. He brought them successfully over the
road from New York, and his work has been fine

motorists with the necessity OF getting together
along lines which have suggested and they should

appreciate that there is time to lose. To-day is
the time they should organize. 1t will be too late
when the country is in need of these men and
vehicles for active service.
"If we were able to complete organization in
every state in the Union tomorrow, it would be
months before these men would be of practical SER
vice to the army in time of need. II is great big
undertaking, but it is no greater than the need
which lies behind it,"
The motor train Of fifteen trucks, ambulances and
officers cars in single file, pulled into camp about
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon. 1t had been on the
road four days and half, making camp each night
This was not, it must be admitted, quite up to
schedule but the commanding officers told me they
spent at least two days and half repairing bridges
and doing other road work which required to
get the heavy vehicles detours which they
compelled to make to reach good camping grounds.
General Wood accompanied by Captain Halstead
Dorey, commander of the instruction camp, drove
out in General Woods Cadillac to meet the

The total registration figures in 1911 were

of four years particularly when it is taken into
consideration that 1918 and 1914 were depressing
