Show I CflDlLLfiC BREAKS 1 OLD COAST RECORD 1 Makes Los Angeles-Bakers- P i Field Round Trip in 5 fi : Hours and 40 Minutes. & Another speed record has fallen be- j fore t-he Cadillac Eight, this being for B j the Los Angel es-Bakersfield round I trip, 130 miles each -way. The new El mark for the distance, five hours and Ha forty minutes, is one hour and twenty- HH lour minutes under the beat previous mwM motor car record for this run, reccnt- mwM y made by a twelve-cylinder car. E The car was driven by Ted Beaudet. U Thick fogobscured the mountain road- Bfl way, which was slippery to tho point HH of being dangerous. InVpite of these t difficulties, and tho loss of seven min- utcs on account of Lire trouble, tho H i run to Bakersfield was completed in H', two hours and forty-nine minutes. The 1 time for the return was two hours and m fifty-one minutes, only two minutes m longer evidence of consistent driving H under adverse conditions. The H twelve-cylinder car had made the trip H i from Los Angeles to Bakersfield and mwM return In seyen hours and four min- mwM utes, which -was the best previous H record up to the time of the Cadillac's H performance. Hl It is less than a year since a Cndil H lac Eight, with the same driver, made H the run from Los Angeles to San HT Francisco In twelve hours and ten j H minutes, beating by one hour and mwM thirty-five minutes the train known H as the Lark, the fastest on the South- mfM ern Pacific between the two cities.
