With rood weather and track conditions there is generally expressed the that the porters will have to break further records to repeat their victory, and that more than two of the competing cars will establish new marks.

The preliminary programme for the first day's rncing Is of a much higher calibre than characterised the- first There will be some real speed driving in the free for all according to present expectations. The list of competitors If these events Is not yet complete, but fbe two Flats Cyclone and Tornado, the Peerless Green Dragon, the B. I. M. racer, niilffeld'ai Rtearna and other fast cars are expected.

Besides the free for all. there will be nlile record trials in wnicn it is confldenklv expected that Ihe track record of will be bettered, if the world's record Is hot surpassed. The free for all will be run in heats if more than two starters appear, both In the five-mile and ten-mile events. There be three five-mile races for ganollne ears, for the S2.00O to $3,000 class, and for the $3,000 to M.OOO class, and for six-cylinder stripped chassis, with a two-mile event for the class under $1,230 In ad. ditlon to the fifty mile.

The tire companies have offered further cash prizes to the wlnninj bars equipped with their tire.

Both Mlchelln and Continental have made these offfrs. The Incentive to fsst driving; Is certainly abundant! and If records fall to fall it will be because of some unlocked for and untoward Weather or track conditions. I number! of other cars are promised for the event. It is expected that, in spite of the conflict with the Motor Parkway opening-; there will be a good class. The course; laid out the parkr Is a circuit of about eight miles, to be covered twenty-five tiroes.

The reads are perfect as to surface-and should admit of exceptionally fast time, although they are circuitous to an extent which will cut down the speed possibilities somewhat.

It was then announced that a stock car would compete, but it Is now doubtful If tbe Mora will even go to tbe line. Tbe two Knoxea and the Chadwick are regulation stock machines, while the Isotta is a duplicate of the Brlarcllff model which baa won all three road races In America this year. It Is generally acknowledged that the foreign cars built this year under Grand Prix regulation have proven fasterlthsn th racing cars- of unlimited bore which have formerly contested.

they may be able to show the way to tbe four former cup racer expected to It ts generally anticipated, however.that the race will lie between the Mercedes.

R. M. Owen says the 310-mile mechan ical efficiency contest around Long- Island was the most strenuous two days run over conducted. With a speed schedule avernKlntr from seventeen to nineteen miles per hour and a checking: point every twenty or twenty-live miles, a very rigid test was nut on the speed and steadv running qualities of every car. One car broke a differential.

Another high-nrlced car broke a front wheel. Several other cars came to grief with mechanical difficulties. Emlse Forced ta Walk. C. A.

Emlse of the Lozler Company has owned four cars In a week. He drove a Bralrcllff car to Bellport on Monday, and Major W. H. Langley bought It, compell- be brought over to handle the Mercedes, but the other cars tn the contest are likely to be driven by an entirely new class of men. For the Grand Price at Savannah the class of entries Is distinctly higher.

Although the date of closing is also fixed for Oct. 1, there Is still a month In which supplemental entries will be received. There are already eight foreign cars named, and there is said to be twelve more in prospect. Seven of these eight are to be driven by. foreigners.

Including two former Vanderbilt winners and the holder of the present world' record. Nazarro and Wagner will handle the Fiats. Hemery. Hanrlot, and Erbe the three Bens cars, and Salcer and. Poegge the Mercedes.

The. failure of Lauten-schlager to -come over with the Mercedes team is a keen disappointment, although the fact Salser is considered a crack driver of the Mercedes trio In spit of th success-of Lautenschlager In the Grand Prix. The third Flat will be handled by De Palma, the crack little Brooklyn boy, who has made so creditable a showing in th last year. It will be the little fellow's second appearance in a road race, but It he repeats tbe successes on the track he will rank high la road racing- in another year. The Automobile Club hope for a feprer entatlve American entry, but as yet has secured only three cars, tbe Locomotive, Acme, and The Matheson has been announced a Intending to contest, while It is thought that the Chadwick will enter If it make a good showing" In the Vanderbilt.

The Automobile Club has It small car race to help it out at Savannah, Held on th day before the Grand Prise, It should furnish an -Interesting curtain raiser. There are thus war only six entrisi-three De Dions and three Maxwells.1 Ford has been' spoken of as a probability, while tjhre Cameron ear and three Bulcks are expected.
