strange to relate, the Finn was the
only athlete of the nine New York Citv

his charge to return winner Soon

Tor some time to come

year in the standing of the clubs
At the finish of the first mile Losgar
was leading, with Craw trailing along
IN fifteenth or twentieth place, but the
Brooklyn athlete took the lead shortly
before the fourth mile and Losgar hung
to his heels. A. W. Fehex, of the Hun
garian-American A. c., who was third
to cross the finish line, was running
seventh at the fourth mile. Peter Tri-
vouAdes, Morningside A. c., and Oswald

For the first time since the intro
Guction OF the Peerless Two Power
Range Eight three years ago, the
Peerless Motor Car Company an.
nounces that il is in a position to as
sure reasonably prompt delivery Of
this much-sought model.
Never has the Peerless company
been enabled TO produce this car IN
quantities sufficient to meet the de
mands Of the motoring public. For
the four years prior to the cessation
of hostiIities in Europe the Cleveland
involved in the manufacture of motor
trucks for war purposes and other
war materials.
During the first three years IS per
cent Of its energies were devoted TO
war work. During the fourth year
this was increased to 100 per cent.
No sooner had the armistice been
signed than the work OF converting
these energies to the production OF
passenger cars began. Following
plans previously outlined, this work
progressed rapidly, and within thirty
three days after hostilities were halted
the Peerless made its initial shipment
Of postwar cars.
With increased facilities at its com

the Two Power Range Eight, demands
that never have been fully satisfied n

LINES GROWING

Rural motor express, that method
Of transportation over the highways

These individual lines, operating
from fifteen to 100 miles. are grad
ualfy forming into a transportation
system, which when linked up will
spread over the entire United States
The rural motor express commit
tee, of the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce, Of East
Forty-second street New York, has
for some time been actively engaged
in encouraging and aiding the es-
tablishment OF rural motor express
lines, and to that end has sent out
to all parts OF the country it's litera-
ture on how to organize a line. This
was followed by literature. showing
how profitable these lines were, Civ

were operating lines, and lists OF
operators all over the country.

This committee is now receiving
reports. showing how profitable a ru-
raj motor express line can be made.

Here are some OF the developments:
The Highways Motor Transport
Company of Cleveland. Ohio. has
been operating rural motor express
lines out OF that city to Sandusky
on the west and Ashtabula on the
east, taking in all way stations. How
successful they have been is shown
In the following experiences:
This company is operating a fleet
OF ten six-ton Packard trucks. Last
spring a large business was de-
Veloped in handling hot-house veg
etables from Geneva and Ashtabula
to Cleveland. When fruits and veg
etables began TO come in. these trucks
transported the following: Twenty
thousand crates OF berries. $4,000
bushels OF tomatoes from the farm
ing districts to the Cleveland mar
kets. These shipments were followed
by 10000 bushels OF apples. peaches
and beans.
Hauled $4,000 Baskets.
During the grape season this com
pany hauled $4,000 baskets Of grapes.
part OF which went TO the wine
presses and part to the markets
Seven hundred baskets were carried
to the load, which made 12O truck
loads OF grapes alone. The average
haulage distance OF these grapes
was thlrty-seve1 and a half miles;
the charge was approximately 81 per
ton: and the loads hauled approx
mated seven tons Empty baskets
were hauled on the return trip. The
round trip Of each OF these trucks
brought IN about $77.
