Thehonors of the day were divided between Barney Oldfield, with nis 200 horsepower Benz machine, and C. O. King, with his Maxwell 30 horsepower stock car. Oldfield lowered his previous record of one mile to 61 5-6, which Is a new coast record for the circular track. With the exception of this performance, Oldfield had to take second place In tho list of racing honors, as the world's champion met defeat in both the five and fifteen mile handicap events, and In both races King and his Maxwell were the victors. In fact, King proved the -surprise of the meet, driving all ot his races with much Judgment and taking the turns with his car as close to the fence as did Oldfield. In the five mile handicap, Oldfield drove his Knox racer to the utmost, 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 11200 to $1600, which was one of the bestmatcnes of the meet. 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 his Maxwell again were the winners, the Maxwell's time being K 19.30.
