Jacksonville, Fla., Oct 27. Au tomobile world here is in a fever over the great Glidden tour finish, which occured yesterday In Jack sonville, with the Maxwell team of three cars triumphant. This con test has commanded the widest In terest of all events scheduled in this part of the country. Speed and . endurance were never put to a severer test Eighteen teams from the best car manufacturers of the country entered for the 1454-mile journey between . New - York and Florida. In the long struggle down the Atlantlo seaboard It : seemed that nothing could be made mora 'crucial, and when the , Maxwell team finished first with the Stev-ens-Duryea second and the Cadil lac third, the enthusiasm of the au tomobile owners and manufactur ers rose to the highest pitch. -The home stretch was through Florida's sand-bottomed pine for ests. Here It seemed Impossible that speed could be made, but the Maxwell trio went througa It like mad. This forest reach had suc ceeded the waterbreaka of Penn sylvania, the i difficulties of Shen andoah valley,- the rugged trails through the Blue Ridge mountains and the oozy, red clay of the Caro lina and Georgia, .That 11 of the 18 teams" failed to qualify In the great contest was no surprise but that the, seven gaining, finish hon ors should do so In the time estab lished did make the best students of road travel scratch their heads In amazement ': October 14 was the date for leav ing New York. The team of Stev-ens-Duryeas was entered and driv en : by leading motorists of the south. The Maxwell scare was perfect while the Stevens got pen alties of 19and'fh Cadillac 23 points respectively. The penalties fixed upon th 11 teams falling to gain finish honor's ranged from one to 3,000 points. A thrilling - feature of the big contest was the trophy, offered by the city of Anderson, S. C, for, the best individual score, regardless of price or crass. Several tied scores resulted, among the number being Miss Birdie Marks of Athens.' Ga., .who drove her silver-plated '. Columbia roadster the entire 1,454 miles and. the Maxwell ear entered by Governor Hoke Smith, of Geor gia; ' Both these cars had perfect scores at the finish..
