Grant in Ako Cu Wins Cap Race
Before a crowd of 250,000 people who lined the 121-2 mile course on Hempstead plains, Saturday the Ameri¬ can Locomotive Co.'s Alco Car, driven by H. F. Grant, was the winner, followed in close order by the Fiat, E. H. Pjric- er driver, and the third was the Chal¬ mers Detroit, driver H. Knipper. The time |or the disUnce, 278.08 miles, was 265^^3 for the first, 270.58 for the second and 230.43 for the third. The average speed of the winning car was 62.9 miles per hour. The speed made was not equal to the course record, but was un¬ deniably fast consideripg a strong wind which swept up the course in the face of the flyer. It looked for a time as it the Chalmers would get the cup; a mishap delayed this entry and the finish of this plucky driver was as recorded above.
The racers went off promptly at nine o'clock, but long before daylight the course was lined with spectators in all kind jpf cars from the big limousines to ther modest runaliotit. The races fln¬ ished shortly after the noon'hour and the crowd went home again satisfied that the records made by Hie American cars would stand for another year at least in excellent comparison to those made by foreign cars.
