one way, and one the other. We tried 
to estimate the approximate total valua- 
tion of the automobiles that were in the 
county that day and how far they 
would reach if strung out in single file, 
but it was too big a job. “It’s all over

recurring accidents, with their resultant 
fatalities, have not deterred the multi-

all over the county,”’. was Dodge’s 
facetious comment. “But I tell you,” 
he resumed, more seriously, “if you 
want a study in contrasts, just you 
come out here to-morrow.” 
Luckily for Dodge—for his last 
words prompted me to felonious assault 
—he just then spied our Frenchman in 
the runabout, and soon we were “‘lost”’ 
in the homeward-bound rush. 
There has been only one unfortunate 
feature of the Vanderbilt cup races—the 
danger will be lessened or entirely 
eliminated by running the race on a 
special automobile speedway, for the 
building of which a stock company has 
been incorporated since the holding of 
the last race. Given this, in future 
years the race for the Wm. K. Vander- 
bilt, Jr., cup will surely outclass the 
great road races of Europe; for Amer- 
ican spectators will not lose interest nor 
American manufacturers cease trying, 
so long as a foreign driver and a 
foreign car holds that cup.
