Vukovich was 1889 ahead Of
Ryan and 1:57 ahesd of McGrath.
Vukovich had made two pit stops
for fuel and tires and his crew got
him back on the track with total
loss of 1:42. Bryan had to make
three stops and LOST 2:04. McGrath
stopped three tines and lost 1893,
including once when his engine
stalled.
Fresno friends of the short, dark
and untalkativs Vukovich probably
will contend, with considerable
reason, that If Vukovich hadn't
held a full lap lead over Bryan
late in the race, he would have
been pushing his fuel injector

McGrath, from South Pasadena
Calf, had a phenomenal average
speed of 13s.86O for the first Sc
miles and Bryan was hardly car
length behind him at that point.
McGrsth reported later he was
forced to abandon the torrid pace
because of magnetic trouble. He
said he was faced with the choice
of spending time in the pit while
the part was changed or giving up
the about speed.
Vukovich got ahead of Bryan
during one of the latter's pit stops
and stayed in front till the end.

line.driven and included three i'm
ported Benz cars from Germany
and the car of Frank Duryea of
Springfield, Mass.
The American car of Duryea
won the race, negotiating the 81
miles "in an actual running time"
of seven hours and Is minutes
for an average of a little more
than seven miles per hour.
actual running time" did not
include 55-minute period for the
repair of a broken "sparker", Is
minutes to adjust machinery,
SIS minutes to replace a broken
steering gear and numerous
slight delays among them time
spent to detour around a sleigh
upset in the street. The total
time needed to cover the 50 miles
was really about 10 hours -
from dawn to dark.
Nevertheless, it was a great
triumph for the American horse
less carriage. Only one other car
- one of the Benz's finished at
all. This car was beaten prin-
cipally because the driver col
lapsed from fatigue, was carried
unconscious from his car, and
replaced by an illegal substitute.
The first race, endurance test
that it was of car and man,
achieved national publicity and
for the first time thousands of
citizens began to consider the
possibility of owning and driving
carriage without a you-know-
what.
The winning award to the
Duryea Motor Wagon Co. was
$4,000 and each of the other five
cars that started the race drew
down some prize money even
though the judges were hard put
to find a basis for an award to
some. The Electrobat, for ex-
ample, got a gold medal for
Cleanliness.
But the real prize was the
awakening of popular interest in
early automobiles which, in turn,
encouraged American manufac-
turers to produce many of the
vehicles that will careen and
caroom through Rockville this
weekend.

First Race in 1895 Helped
Bring Antique Cars Here

Although the scores of antique
automobiles which will converge
on Rockville this week from
Philadelphia and New York will
not engage in any road races en-
route to Montgomery County
they probably owe their existence
at least in part to first American
automobile race which was held
in Chicago on Thanksgiving Day
of 1895.
In 1895, most Americans were
not prepared to believe that a
horseless vehicle could travel
what were laughingly called
highways. Various items had
appeared in newspapers concern
ing the exploits of sundry buggies
with gasoline motors attached
to them. But the average man
of the day firmly believed that
while these freak buggies might
run after a fashion for a short
distance. they would never really
work.
A buggy was a highly priced
possession - but it was 'horse
and buggy" and most definitely
not buggy with any other means
of propulsion.
There were only a few score
cars of all types in the America
of 1895 = and among these few
steam, electricity and gasoline
power competed on an equal
basis.
1t was in this era that the
Chicago Times-Herald decided to
sponsor the first American road
race. To the newspaper, it was
a means of promoting itself. To
the first automobile men, it was
a means of proving to the
American public that the "horse-
less age" had indeed arrived and,
of course, that their own version
of the vehicle that ran without a
horse was the most practical.
The night before the race,
Chicago was hit by a four-inch
snow storm. The 50 miles of
streets designated as the race
course were covered with snow,
slush and ice in an awesome mix
ture that caused all but six of the
70 entries to drop out.
But to some of the six that
showed up at the starting line,
the weather conditions appeared
to be an extra challenge. The
tougher the course, the greater
the public acceptance of the prac-
teal worth of the winner.
The two electrics, it is said,
started "just for the publicity
value" since their owners had
not been able to arrange for re-
charging stations along the route
and without this they could not
hope to negotiate the 50 miles.
The remaining four were gaso-
