'- Thehonors of the day were divided between Barney Oldfield, with ols 200 horsepower Benz machine,' and C. O. Kin?, with his Maxwell SO horsepower stock car. Oldfield lowered his previous record of one mile to fil 5-6, which Is a new coast record for the circular track. With the exception of this performance, Oldfield had to take seeond place in the list of racing honors, as the world's champion met defeat in both tbe five and fifteen mile handicap evonts, and in both races King and his Maxwell were the victors. In fact, King proved the surprise of the meet, driving all of his races with much Judgment and taking the turns with his car as close to the fence as did Oldfield. In the flve mile handicap, Oldfield drove his Knox racer to the utmoBt, but the handicap was too strong and he could not get the lead away from King. Not only in the handicap events did King and his Max well prove stars of the-first order, but in one of the first events of the day, the five mile race for cars costing from $1200 to $1600, which was one of the bestmatches of the meet. . r f The time for the five mile handicap was as follows: Maxwell, King, 4.40.30; Oakland, Nelson, 4.48.25; Chalmers, West, 4.49.30; Auto : Car , finished fourth; and the Knox car, Barney Oldfield driving, fifth. In the event number eight, ten miles free-for-all handicap, King' and bis Maxwell again were the winners, the Maxwell's time being V 18.30. ' - ' ' i J. B. Whiteman fe Sbn 108. Elm Street.
