Yanderbilt, Jr. The pilgrimage of automobile enthus lasts to the scene of the struggle has already begun. That there will be the greatest crowd on record to view the race is beyond doubt. Every farm house and hotel within reach of the course will be filled to night with men and women. Fabulous prices will be paid for sleeping aeconi mods t ions. Cots will be supplied in the hallways and in stables. Any discom fort will be endured in order to see the great race of steel gaints. , .The Long Island Railroad has ar ranged to transport nearly 200,000 pas sengefs, and as every foot of parking pace alone the 30-mile course has been engaged, it is conservative to say that fifty thousand persons will jour ney to the course in automobiles.

The machine which cover the circuit- of the course in the fastest elnpscd time will be declared the winner of the nice, Of the eighteen starters, France, Italy and America will be represented by five cars each, and Germany by three. This will be the third contest for the Yanderbilt cup and while France won the two previous contests, Italy is steadily gaining on her and last year Lancia would probably have won the nice but for his unfortunate collision with Christie. This year France will be represented by Lancia, Kazsarro, Dr. Weilschott, Fabry and Cagno. Germany will pin her faith to Fox- hall Keene, Janetiy and Luttgen. America will be represented by "Joe' Tracy, Le Blou, Hayncs, Laavell and Walter Christie, France the favorite for this year's race. City Council Meets and Disposes of Business.
