the closing session of the annual convention

citation here yesterday, George NJ. C;rA-
ham, vice-prcsident of n motor eompan Y

ridiculous to suppose that the motor bus
could ever replace the street car IA a means
of transportation. The cars carried SO
many at one time, he said, that there
was no motor vehicle in sight that could
supplant them
He said that he was opposed TO tn
p,ratical utney bus as an unrestricted
means of transportation, but said that
there was place for the motor vehicle IN
transportation, particularly in the sub
urbs of large cities. He favored the opera :
tion of flying squadrons of motor buses
to be used during the rush hours of the
day, and on circus DAYS and like OCCASIONS
These he declared, should be operated by
the companies themselves. lie asserted
that jtncys should be regulated, but
added that this regulation should not be
used as n means of defending the transpor-
service to the public.

unanimously elected: prcsident,P. II

KUMMER'S NARROW ESCAPE
Stirrup Webbing on Man o War Broke
In Windsor Race

. New York, Oct. i5.-Clarcnce Kun
mcr, who rode Man o. War 10 such easy
victory over Sir Barton IN their special
race at mile and quarter over the
kenilworth Park track at Windsor, On
tario, last Tuesday, admitted at Jamaica
yesterday that his stsr,Ip webbing broke
as he WAS pulling up the great 3-year-old
after The finish He just escaped falling
off, too, and is still puzzled to understand
how IL could happen, in view of the fact
that the saddle WAS practically new and
that he had uscd il only twice before.
Horscrnen shuddered to think what the
result might have been il the stirrup web
bling had given way during the race with
Man o War in full stride. Hummer rides
with such short siirrup that in all prob
ability he would have lost his seat. In
such case the cry of fraud would have
been heard and the feeling would have
been general that somebody had tamrrred
with the saddle
In NIL probability the breaking OF the
webbing was due 10 defect, but the very
fact that scandal WAS 80 narrowly
averted should be an object lesson 70
trnincrs and Jockeys and emphasize the
necessity of thoroughly testing out nj
equipment before race IL run
