The Los Angeles Motordrome, 
which opened ‘last Friday with a 
seven days’ meet, marks a new 
epoch in automobile track racing in 
America. The immense board sau- 
cer, which has been designed scien- 
tifically to permit maximum speed 
with a minimum of danger, is a per- 
feet circle, measuring exactly one 
mile. It is banked all round at an 
angle of 20 degrees, being 25 feet 
high at the outer rim. The track is 
75 feet in width, built with a wide, 
flat inside freebroad or ‘‘pole.’’ It 
is built of the finest quality of Ore- 
gon pine, which is said to be the 
very best wood to stand the sun 
without warping and cracking. So 
little rain falls on the coast that 
warping through dampness does not 
have to be taken into consideration. 
Inside the board ‘‘pole’’ a eircle of 
loose sand 10 feet in width all 
around will act as a natural brake 
to a car should it slide from the 
track owing to accident. The fact 
that ears in practice have been mak- 
ing miles in 40 seconds without the 
least skidding speaks well for its 
speeding qualities.

The General Motors Company will 
be represented in the speed and en- 
durance contests of the ensuing sea- 
son by a team consisting of Louis 
Chevrolet and Robert Burman. An- 
nouncement to that effect was offi- 
cially made last Tuesday.

The fact that Chevrolet-and Bur- 
man, whose’ sensational perfor- 
mances of last year are inseparably 
identified with the Buick ear, are an- 
nounced this year as champions of 
the General Motors Company will 
inject into the 1910 contests an ele- 
ment of extraordinary interest. 
Considerable criticism reaches 
our ears in regard to the reason that 
Manchester’s new water department 
wagon was sent back last Saturday 
to Boston. It is not an uncommon 
thing for a purchaser to find that, 
after running a new ear a short pe- 
riod of time it becomes necessary to 
have it looked over and re-adjusted ; 
thus the reason for the ear being 
sent back. Another was sent in its 
place for a short time.

Harold M. Bater, who returned 
from Europe last. Friday, was down 
the Shore Wednesday and was over- 
flowing with interesting stories of 
his experiences during the winter, 
while learning to operate a flying 
machine. Mr. Bater is much inter- 
ested in aviation and is now build- 
ing a machine of his own design. 
This work was well advanced before 
he sailed for Europe two months 
ago. The P. H. G. Bennett Co., with 
which Mr. Bater is connected, will 
open their North Shore branch at 
Manchester the first of May.
