CADILLAC ESTABLISHES
MANY ROAD RECORDS
Cars Achievements Have Been Not.
able in Both Fast and Slow
Going.

Repeatedly, in various parts of the
country, stock models of the Cadillac
Eight have set fast road records, c
ing against time and against railroad
trains, yer dangerous mountain roads
and level plains. One of the early
achievements was last June, when
n of these car was driven from
Los Angeles to San Francisco in COM
petition with the Southern Pacifc's
fastest train between the two cities,
known as the Lark. Most of the
Cadillac's trip Of 492 miles was made
in the dark, at an average speed of
better than 40 miles per hour over
dangerous mountain roads. The
train was beaten by a margin of one
hour and IS minutes.
Soon afterward came word of the
cars feat in beating by almost two
hours the time over the 1875 miles
from Butte to Missoula, Mont, in the
Yellowstone Trail relay run. This
distance was made in 3 hours and So
minutes, at an average speed of 1928
miles an hour, as against the best
previous motor car record of 5 hours,
40 minutes.
In quick succession followed the
race from Denver to Cheyenne be-
tween a Union Pacific special train
and a Cadillac Eight, the train
travelling 112 miles to the Cadillac's
ZIG miles. Nevertheless the car ar
rived two minutes before the train,
having averaged about so miles an
hour to make the run in 2 hours, 10
minutes.
Next, Indiana came in with the
usual result-fast train beaten by a
Cadillac Eight. This was between In
dianapolis and Terre Hautc, the car
making the 72 miles in II minutes
against 81 minutes for the train.
Another California achievement of
recent date was the Los Angeles
Bakersfield round trip in S hours, 40
minutes for the 260 miles, breaking
the record of a twelve-cylinder car
over the same route by one hour and
"a minutes.
Opposed to all these records of high
speed, and emphasizing the ability of
the car, is the slow speed, high gear
test of a Cadillac Eight in Seattle,
Wash. There the car averaged 1876
miles per hour for 1,211 feet, requir-
ing 8 minutes 8 3-5 seconds to cover
the distance. The car carried five
passengers, and the driver left his
seat and walked backward ahead of it
for an entire block.-adv.
