By his marvelous driving of his Italian car 234.G miles in I 219 minutes 6-1.25 miles an hour in K the Motor Parkwa' sweopslaltes for H stock cars selling nt $4000 or over, Hcr- V N bert Lytic not onl- broke this coun- try's speed record but demonstrated the m success ol1 the new million-dollar speed-BL speed-BL . . way for a speed-making contest. As a H I spectacle and as a crowd-gathering, the M simultaneously run five races wore far p i j below expectations. Thero were few i j spectators. Lytic hie up high speed j immediately upon his release from the MYn starting line, where the cars had been HI sent off in single file thirty seconds W apart, and kept it up with hardly a mi fluctuation from 61.25 miles an hour. (I Only second in interest was tho close P rivalry between Drivers Sharp and Bourquc of tho Gardeu City sweep- i slakes striug. The former covered 1S7.G I ' miles in 100 minutes. It was a nip and ;, i tuck raco for many miles. ' Experts Praise Track. II Experts praised the track. It shows 1' .,a wonderful advance in automobile it "speed track construction, and tho effect K of the completed nine miles of twenty-w twenty-w two-feet cement course is reflected in mh the results. The fear that tho narrow-P narrow-P ncss might cause collisions proved mill mi-ll founded. The fact that the track had 1 been carried over or under all grade I crossings but ono eliminated a great III source of anxiety, delay and danger. IF The almost unprecedented freedom H) from oven minor accidents shows that S most of the horrors of the sport can be -l cliHnulod by carrying 0ufc the plans of m , the builders of this track. Tho race Mi 1 also showed the great advance made in mi car building for all the entries were ' stock cars with minor changes adapting If h them to track work. The only accident at all serious was to Mechanician La Mond in Driver Miller's car, contend-Lr contend-Lr ing in the Garden City sweepstakes. Ho, S was thrown out aud sustained a leg fracture. The driver took a. spectator rrj " to the scat and continued in the race. j Winning Cars. I J The Nassau, cars selling for $1000 or Lw under; distance 03.S4 miles Hugh I r" Easter won in 2:07:52.
