Autos in Terrific Race
The cars sped down Fifth Avenue to
Washington Square, across to the East
Slde and down Lafayette Street to the
Manhattan Bridge and across into
Brooklyn. The Police Commissioner
set terrific pace and there were many
narrow escapes from accident as
! municipal taxicabs, big touring cars
and various other sizes of motor
vehicles jockeyed and crowded each

front. The pace set by the blue
sport-bodied car in the lead was verify
increased up through Prospect Park
and out the long stretch of Ocean

police arrangements for the day, how

short address through the telephone

He condemned the newspapers and
magazines that were won't to carp
against the Police Department, and de-
clared that the department was at
present in a high state of efficiency
under Commissioner Enright. He. said
it had been difficult to overcome preju-
dices, but to-day he and the Police
Commissioner could ''stand and look
straight into the faces of the people
