First Cycle-Car Run to
Be Made in September
America's first cyclecar run which
will be promoted by Chairman Chas.
C. Percival of the National touring
board of the Cyclecar Association of
America on September 5, 6 and 7,
will start at Newark and go to At
lantic City and return via Philadel
phia. Every car will carry an offi
cial observer who will keep a close
check on all stops, mechanical trou
bles, tire replacements and gasoline
consumption. Twelve beautiful sil
ver cups will be offered for perfect
scores in the different classes and two
prizes for lowest fuel consumption.
An additional prize for the best gen
eral efficiency score will be given.
The best scorp winners in the cycle
car and light car classes will receive

Other cups offered are the Wm. Boul
din cup, the American cyclecar cup

ber company.
Six-year-old Cadillac
to Make Another Tour
A. S. Owens, of Birmingham, Ala.,
will soon start on a long cross-coun
try motor tour which will take him
eventually to San Francisco. The In
teresting feature of this undertaking
is the fact that Mr. Owens will drive
a car that is now In Its sixth year of
service and already has 300,000 miles
to Its credit. Mr. Owens' automobile
is one of the first Cadillac fours to be
brought to Birmingham.
A cross-country trip, similar to the
one now planned, was made by Mr.
Owens In this car nearly five years ago.
eaving Birmingham, he traveled to
Detroit, then proceeded to Yellow
stone Park and California, visiting
Los Angeles and other western points.
From there he returned to Birming
ham. The remarkable feature of this
trip was that the actual distance cov
ered was 19,980 miles and the, total
cost of repairs and other automobile
expenses, outside of the consumption
of fuel, was but $4-90.

MQHT SIDE OP HAYNBG SIX CYLINDER UNIT POWER PLANT
Exhibit No. 56800 In Smithsonian Institution, Washington,D.C
"There's a new exhibit in the
Smithsonian Institute that's attract
ing a great deal of attention from visi
tors to the National Museum," said
George F. McFarland, of the Harris
burg Automobile company, distribu
tors in this territory for the Haynes,
America's first car. "It Is officially
known as exhibit number 56860 and
consists of a complete Haynes six
cylinder unit power plant and has
been given a position at the side of
the original Haynes "horseless car
riage," where the striktng contrast
shows the remarkable improvement
that has been made in motor design
and construction during the past
twenty-two years.
"The most important features of the
power plant are shown clearly and
comprehensively by having sections
cut away from the various parts, so
that the visitors to the institute are
enabled to see the mechanical con
struction, and the relation of the com
ponent devices.
"On the right side' of the engine,
the intake and exhaust manifolds are
shown in their natural position. A
full vertical section of the Stromherg
carburetor gives a good idea of how
the gasoline is mixjpd with the air
and supplied to the cylinders. The
CHANDLER DOUBLES
SALES OVER NIGH!
Scores of Dealers Visit Cleveland
Plant to Secure Sales
Rights
Visitors to the Cleveland plant of
the Chandler Motor Car company dur
ing the past ten days have witnessed
the unusual sight of "top speed" pro
duction during- the so-called dull sea
son. Motor car makers generally pre
pare for the slack months of June
and July by laying off surplus help,
but the Chandler company has been
compelled to greatly iriterease its
manufacturing force to keep pace with
sales.
"The announcement of a reduction
In price in the 1915 Chandler Six
made in a big chain of daily newspa
pers two weeks ago, has brought re
sults that have fairly snowed us un
der,'! said C. A. Kmise, vice-president
and sales manager of the Chandler
company. "In common with other
makers we expected to pass through
the usual slowing up in manufactur
ing activities about this time of year,
but the dull summer period has been
entirely eliminated for us by the re
sults of our 1915 announcement.
"The fact that we are in a posi
tion to make immediate deliveries of
Chandler Sixes at the new price of
$1,595, has of course counted mate
rially with the various dealers.
"Practically every Chandler dealer
has doubled his orders for 1915, and
in several cases we have had to tone
down the enthusiasm of distributors
who wanted to take three or four
times their last season's allotment."
Unusual activity on the part of
dealers all over the country followed
the announcement of the $1,595
Chandler. The Cleveland distributor
closed up six sub-dealers in a single
day. In Philadelphia W. P. Herbert,
the local dealer, immediately moved
into larger headquarters to take care
of increased business. The new Quaker
City home of the Chandler will be in
the tine salesrooms at the corner of
Broad and Race streets. In propor
tion, the dealers in the small towns
are even more active. The Shreveport,
Louisiana, dealer, located in a sup-,
posedly poor territory has sent in re
peat orders for fifteen cars after
breaking all records for six-cylinder
sales in his territory. Similar condi
tions prevail in other sections of the
country and it is expected that greatly
increased dealer representation will
also result from the announcement.
Not the least encouraging results of
the first year's existence of the Chan
dler Motor Car company is the strong
position it has taken in the trade. One
of the biggest accessory men in the
country recently made the statement
that the Chandler company was the
only concern that had ever made good
on its first season's promised produc-
I tion.
Forty-one Hour Non-Stop
Run Chicago to New. York
Kllmore C. Patterson, vice-president
and general manager of P. p. Col
lier & Son, the publishers, arrived at
the Vanderbilt Hotel Tuesday night,
July 7, in his seven-passenger Pack
ard 1913 automobile, after a non
stop run of forty-one hours from
Chicago. He was too tired to lift his
baggage from the car, but seemed
elated to have established an amateur
record. He had not had a wink of
sleep since he left the Windy City
and had taken all of his meals in his
car.
The run was made under the aus
pices of the Chicago Automobile cluh
and Mr. Patterson said that the rec
ord would stand as official. With him
were his relief driver, E. W. Imms,
of Detroit; J. A. Williams and Wil
liam Oollan, official observers for the
Chicago Automobile Club, and a pilot
Six pilots guided them along the route
through South Bend, Toledo, Cleve
land, Erie, Buffalo, Syracuse, Ithaca
and Albany, and thus there were al
ways five passengers In the car.
The car left Michigan avenue and
Twenty-fourth street, Chicago, at 3:48
a. m., Monday, Chicago time. It
reached 242 nd street, Manhattan, at
9:48 Tuesday night, eastern time. The
trip from there to the Vanderbilt was
made In about forty minutes.
The distance, according to the of
ficial route book, is 1,032 miles, but
Mr. Patterson estimated that with de
tours he had covered 1,050 miles.
i i Leece-Neville generator has its casing
cut away to give a view of the wind
ings and cores. Numerous windows
| disclose the crankshaft construction,
1 ' and the oil reservoir. The transmis
sion gears are also show in this man
ner.
"Most of the electrical equipment is
shown clearly on the left side of ttw
j motor. Here an interesting feature is
the full vertical section of the Amer
ican Simms high tension dual mag
neto. A half section has been re
moved from the rear cylinder., and the
piston as well, to give a glimpse of
the interior construction. A large por
tion of the I-ieece-Neville starting mo
tor casing has been cut away. The
cover plate on the switch controling
the starting motor has been replaced
with a glass cover to display the j
method of completing the circuit from
the battery to the motor. A skeleton
selector switch is mounted at the rear
of the transmission case instead of its
usual position on the steering wheel
The electric gear shifting mechanism
is made visible by using a glass plate
for the top cover plate on the trans
mission.
"This exhibit of the Haynes power
plant is very interesting indeed and
well serves as a monument to the I
Ilaynes ingenuity and progress.

Harris Reports Good
Business. Outlook
F. A. Harris, commercial manager
of the Hupp Motor Car company, has
just returned from an extensive tour
of the mid-western States, and he is
very optimistic on the business out
look.
As Mr. Harris stated, things for the
coming year are in excellent shad*,
and with the very large crops which
abound throughout the middle west,
there is no doubt but what we are
going to go through a big season of
prosperity.
"To escape a big season for 1915,"
said Mr. Harris, "with such crop re
ports as the government experts have
given us, will be very difficult.
"Tli® enthusiastic statements we
have read lately on the conditions of
the middle west are not exaggerated
a bit, for I had my eyes opened on
this recent trip. Kansas, Nebraska,
lowa and the Dakotas are certainly
in for a record year, and the farmers
are already busy with the 'bumper'
harvest of winter wheat, which is es
timated to be even greater than the
largest record crop ever reported.
"One of the best informed south
western business men. said this week
that the big crops meant between
$225,000,000 and $300,000,000 of

"When the large movement of grain

The motorcycle has solved a serious
problem of the Bulletin, a dally paper
of Bloomington. 111. When the even
ing train over' the Big Four was taken
off, the Bulletin was at a loss how to
servo its many subscribers at Gillum,
Downs, Leroy, Farmer City and Mans
field, who had received their papers on
this train. However the matter was
soon settled by the employment of a,
motorcyclist, who now rides out to
those towns each evening, delivers the
papers to subscribers, and chug back
to Bloomington in the early evening.
