Thrills followed thrills as speeding automobiles shot around the
course of the Ingleslde Race Course, ou April 24th, In the second and
final day eventB of the successful meet promoted by the members of
Islam Temple of the Mystic Shrine. '-
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
