The remarkable exhibit at this

position of creative leadership. As
last year the one outstanding fact
was the general swing toward the

which Hudson-Essex had pioneer

agreed that the greatest popular
interest "in the six cylinder en
closed cars selling in the less than

They assert this . is so because
cars of this description have
shown a most remarkable growth
this last year and because more
new cars of this sort are being in
troduced to the public than any
other general classification. Mod
ern traffic conditions favor them,
and the public is turning to them.
This being true, the spotlight
will show brightly on the Essex
Coach, for this is the undented
pioneer in this broad and growing
field. Two years ago It was first
offered at the 'New York show
at a time, in fact, when a six cyl

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 20, The
annual five hundred mile automo

have offered drivers of passenger

The approaching season will be
no exception, for it will mark an

engines. The test will be made
on May 31; when creations of no
more than 91 H cubic inches' pis

The first 500-mile race. Tn 1
1911 by Ray Harroun of Indian
apolis, was open to cars of 600 cu
bic inches piston displacement, but
only seven were running when the
Indianapolis driver got the check
ered flag. The average, speed was
74.59 miles per hour; at that time
considered remarkable. 1
The first cut. came, tn 1913.
when the limit was placed at 450
cubic inches piston displacement.
Jules Goux. French driver, won at
75.92 miles an hour. Rene
Thomas, another Frenchman, won
in 1914 when the same displace
ment was permitted, averaging
22.47 miles. . I
In 1915, 300-inch I motors were
used for the first time. The vet
eran Rain h DePalma led the field
hurling his new car over the dis
tance Ht 89.84 miles per honr. The
same piston displacement was con
tinued through 1916. when Dario
T?Rta won nrert 3 00-mfle course
at 83.26 miles an hour, and 1919.
when Howard WHopx. or inaian
