How le Locate Minor Troablea
In el (-Propelled Ve
hicle.. With the great increase In the use ot'
automobile, there la alwaya a certain pro
portion of the motoring recruit, who wl.h
to drive their own care, lonff from motives
of economy and others because they do not
like to be entirely dependent on a hired
chauffeur. In the majority of cases It Is a
difficult matter for these men to spare
tha time necessary, for them to be thor
oughly Instructed regarding the mechan
ism of their cara, and the result la that
there are hundreda of men driving their
own cars today that have no trouble so
long as everything works all right, but
who axe compelled to send for aid the In
atant any slight disarrangement occurs In
the mechanism of their machines. To help
this class of motoring novices to under
stand their cara, F. W. Leavttt, presldoni
of tha Automobile Dealers' association of
San Francisco, has Issued a letter of In
struction to motoring novices reading as
follows;
The reason why the engine runs Is. tbmt
gasoline vapor ia drawn into the cylinder
of the engine, compressed by the stroke
of the piston, and at the proper time ex
ploded by the action of an electric spark,
generated at the battery and Intensified
by passing through the coll. The force
of the explosion drives the piston on Its
working stoke. The .momentum of the fly
wheel carries tha piston back Into the
cylinder, forcing out the burnt gases. It
also carries the piston along on Its suction
stroke, drawing in a fresh chargo of gas.
and return, the piston Into the cylinder on
It. compre.alon stroke, when the electric
spark again occurs and drives tha piston
on Its working stroke.
This is called tho four cycle type of gas
engine and is the type most generally em
ployed. It must be evident that the ma
chine must have gasoline, that the gaso
line must reach the carbureter, that there
must be batteries, and the batteries must
be properly wired to the coll and the vi
brator of the coll must be properly ad
justed, so that a spark la delivered at the
spark plug. The valves, must be working
properly to admit the fresh gas from the
carbureter and to let out the burnt gases
arter the explosion.
Assuming that the valvea have been
properly set, they will probably remain so,
but a valve stem might become clogged or
gummy, where It works In Its guide, the
result being that the valve would not set
at the proper time. There would then bo
no compression and consequently no ex-
filoelon. If a tittle kerosene Is occasionally
njected Into the cylinders above the piston
there Is little danger of this occurring. The
causes that might result -In an engine not
starting or working property and the order
In which they should be expected are:
Flrstv-Troubles with the Ignition system;
a wirei may become broken or loose, the
batteries may be run down, the vibrator
on the coll may not be properly adjusted
or the points of the -spark plug may bB
fouled with burnt oil.

to a sticky valve. This can be located by
cranking the engine over and If any cylin
der shows a lack of compression It wttuld
be reasonable to expect that the Inlet or
exhaust valve might be sticking.
Should 'a machine stop on the road or
refuse to start, proceed aa follows to locate
tha cause of stoppage: Look for trouble In
the Ignition system or a broken wire, by
turning the engine over with the starting
crank slowly and listen for a buxx from
the vibrator of the coll. In a one-cylinder
machine there should be a buxs every two
revolutions of the crankshaft. In a two
cylinder machine there should be a buss
every revolution. If the coll busses It Is a
sure thing that. there are no broken wires.
Then look to see of gasoline reaches your
carbureter by depressing-the priming pin In
carbureter It showa that you are all right
at that point. "

and th aame result If the mixture Is too
thin. It ia then reasonable to suppose that
the points of the spark plug are fouled by
burned ot carboned oil. Screw the spark
plug out of the cylinder and wash the spark
plug out and cleanse It with gasoline, and
scrapu the points of the plug to clean them.
The points of the plug should be a little
less than one-sixteenth of an Inch apart.
You might test the spark plug by laying
It on the cylinder head, and with the switch
on crank th engine over slowly and at the
time th. coll busses a spark should show
at the spark plug points If the spark plug
Is not'nlaced on lh -vllnW or tha mirk

turned over and th ooll made to 'buss, be
cause this might work an Injury to the
coll. Th spark plug wire may, however,
be held at a distance not to exceed one
fourth of an inch from the cylinder and
the engine turned over to test the spark:
st the time the coll busses the spark will
jump irom ine ena or in
to the cylinder or tart ol
est it. If this distance between the wire
and the engine Is much greater than on
fourth inch, as stated,, an. injury may be
worked to the. coll.
During this testing of the spark plug wire
It was advisable not to hold the wire- In
the hand. It had better be proped up
against some psrt of the machine, as the
current may pass through the hand and
result In a violent electric shock. Having
ascertained that there is gasoline In the
cabureter and spark at the spark plug and
tlu carbureter adjustment has not been
changed since the engine wss properly run
ning. If you will throw on the electric switch
and crank tha engine over In the usual
manner there are very few reasons why the
engine should not run. One of them might
be a slick valve, and thereby loss of com-
Dresslon. Tilts, however, la not at all com.
j mon. but would be detected In cranking
over mo engine, a single cylinder engine
should have a compression every two revo
lutions, a two cylinder engine a compres
sion every revolution.
It might be reasonable' to suspect water
In the gasoline which may be removed
by opening the draining plug or cock In the
botVom of the carbureater. which ahould
take the water with tt. If there Is gasoline
In the tank and It does not flow out of the
carbureter when the priming pin Is de
pressed It must be evident that the carbur
eter of the pipe leading to It la clogged.
This cn he eally cleaned. The adjustment
of th vibrator r vibrator of the coll may
be tested by throwing on the electric
switch and taking a piece of wire, holding
one end aaalnst some metal part of the ma-
chine, say the steering post or one of the
1 1 l i inn, nun "i ' 1 " vi iiia
wire agalnet one of the binding posts on
top of the coil units In the coll box. The
vibrator can be adjusted hy screwing up or
down on the vibrator adjusting screws till
lha vibrator has a good healthy buxs. Then
by turning the -enslne over there should
be a buxs at the coll for every compression
in the cylinder or cylinders. If there Is
nt there'ls some trouble at the commutator.

A recent decision Of the king's bench, In
England, is of Importance to motorists and
wheelmen alike. A hen, frightened by a
dog, flew across a highway into a spoke of
a bicycle on which a youth was taking a
spin. The cyclist waa thrown and Injured,
the wheel smashed. He sued the hen's
owner for damages. Now two learned
Judges have decided that unless the cyclist

to fly into spokes of wheels It cannot be
alleged that the owner must keep said hen
locked or chained hence nonsuit.
KING EDWARD'S SILVER CUP
Magsllceat Trophy' froat a ' Royal
Hand for th Svrlrtest
Yskeht.
NORFOLK. Va.. June l.-After an inter
view with King Edward VII . of England
recently, Hon Charles W. Kohlsaat, com-'
mlssloner general of the Jamestown expo
sition, gave out the following to the Amer
ican Register, published in London:
His majesty; King Edward VII. ha on
more than .one occasion been graciously
pleased to manifest his sympathy and
friendly Interest in the Jamestown exposi
tion, whose doors were formally opened on
April 26. His majesty's fleet was present
and participated ln the opening exercises.
Hut on no occasion has his majesty's good
will been more pronouncedly shown than
by the presentation of a handsome cup
to be competed for during the yacht racea
that are to take place next September.
These will be a fitting feature In that al
together novel and interesting Intematlon
exposition, intended to commemorate the
birth of the American nation, and at which
a deputation of the ships of war of all
friendly nations have been ordered by their
governments to be present In accordance
with the cordial Invitation of the presi
dent of the United States. The exposition
is essentially a military and naval display
or reunion, and alt water sports, of which
there will be many, will be second only to
the great number of men-of-war from all
quarters of the globe. .They will present
an inspiring sight.
The king's gift Is of fine silver gilt, with
rover and cup mounted on an ebonlsed
base. It Is a copy of the early Georgian
period, with two massive scroll handles.
The cup and cover are ornamented with
handsome inlaid scroll mask snd strsp
work. It la twenty-two inches high; width.
Including handles. twenty-two Inches;
dlaiqeter of body, twelve Inches. It weighs
Zli ounces.
. The inscription on the front bears the
engraved personal monogram and crown
of his majesty, with the letters E. R. and
Roman numeral VII beautifully and ar
tistically Interlaced. Immediately below It
appear the following Inscription:
Present by his majesty. King Edward
VII, to the Jamestown exposition regatta,
1907. Hampton Roads, Virginia, U. 8. A.,
In commemoration of the first permanent
English settlement In America. MU7.
On the reverse appears tha engraved
text:
Thla cup to be competed for by yachta of
class A In the International races at the
Jamestown exposition In September, 19u7.
Won by
It la to become the permanent property
of the winner, and was manufactured by
Carrlngton A Co., 130 Regent atreeh W. The
cup was personally delivered to Thomas
W. CTldler, formerly assistant aecretary of
state of'the United States, by the manu
facturers, upon the written order of the
authorities of Buckingham palace, who had
ita arrangements In charge, and wns
shipped to him on board the'Amerlcan line
steamship Philadelphia, through th agent
of th United States Express company In
this city, consigned to J. P. Roosa, United
States government dispatch agent at New
York. The cup reached her on May JO
and was delivered to Charles W. Kohlsaat,
commissioner general of the exposition,
who lately returned to America after his
successful tour and work ln Europe.
The cup formed, as It was Intended It
should, a prominent part of the British par
ticipation on the opening day. It at
tracted widespread attention, not more on
account of It massive proportions, It
symmetry snd Its beauty, than because of
its distinguished donor, the king of Eng
land, who has In so many- ways evidenced
his deep Interest In the exposition and
thereby rendered valuable a-w'otanra to the
efforts pf both Mr. Kohlsnat and Mr.
Crldler for the successful promotion of
their work In England. Where the king
leads others follow. .

Retting.
the
English turfites are busy with a great
facing problem Just now In trying to make
out the winner of the dwby, to be run on
June 5. In Galvanl and Sltev Galllon
there are two of aa evenly matched colts aa -ever
were Been In England, and at the same
lime two racers of'exceptlonal merit. They
will not meet until they face the stsrter's
gate at Epsom and the result will undoubt-
edly be the most thrilling turf contest of"
modern times. (
By his victory In the Two Thoussnd
Guineas recently Slleve Galllon has
became favorite with all classes, .
and especially In the booking depart- !
ment he has the, pride of place. 1
The figures quoted on Captain Greer'a
colt were six to four again, and at this he j
seemed to be firm on the market. Galvanl j
did not have the nomination for either the :
1000 or the Jubilee handicap, nor has he
been seen under silk so far this season;
but th critics evidently have not forgot
ten that Galvanl In decisive fashion took
th measure of Slleve Galllon In the Middle
Park Plate last fall. Of course, the keener
of the brigade aay he will do the same nilng
again, but there are other who advance
the theory that 81leve Galllon haa done bet
ter In the spring training and that he was
not .-ulte right when he suffered the defeat
by Galvanl. However, the question will not t
be settled until June 5.
But there Is a very good colt In Besonlan,
who finished second to Slleve Galllon In
the Two Thousand, and aa shrewd
a Judge aa Danny Maher la reaponsl
ble for the prediction that had
the race been half a doxen lengths
further Benxonlan would have landed the
first money. This means that he has a
chance left for the derby. One of the best
Judges of form on the British turf has thla
to say on the race:
Views of nn Experts.
There are plenty of people who even
noW do not quite believe in Slleve Oalllon.
and expect to see Galvanl beat him for the
Derby. Borne go so far as to maintain
that Benxonlan will reverse the Two Thou
sand Guineas placing, and I 'believe the
Judge Is one of the number; but, for my
part, I think we never saw Slleve Gall on
give such a satisfactory and convincing
show as he did for the Two Thousand, for
be dissipated all ausplclons as to . hla gsme
ness and stama. ln the Middle Par
Plate he waa beaten as soon as he was
tackled, but the other day he stalled off
the challenge and drew right away from
his opponents. But, as i nave iu mu.
than once, there cannot be much to choose
between him and Galvanl If the latter can
be sent to the post at Bpsom In equally
good -condition,
I pay little or no attention to either the
running In the Middle Park PUte or the
Criterion, being convinced that Slleve Gal
llon waa off color ln the former race, and
Galvanl wa not himself when beaten by
polar Star for the latter; but Judged on
their running with Benaonlan they mult
be very nearly the same animal, though
there are good reasons for preferring Sllev
Galllon. W know him to b in winning
form and that all the Beckhampton horse
are doing well, whereas for some reason or
other Mr. Gilpin's stable Is backward this
season, and has not yet shown any signs
of following up its last year's successes.
Galvanl certainly, looked all right yester
day and aa If he could certainly be made
thoroughly fit for the Derby. He has been
going well, too. In his work; still he Is an
..r.knnrn on.ntltv sn far as this season
goes, while Sllee Galllon ha been out
i. and won In convincing fashion. This
consideration alone makes him legitimately j
favorite. ........ J
Besonlan will take care of all th rest
of the Two Thousand Guineas runners,
though Llnacre Is capable of considerable
improvement and All Black seemed to be
staying on Lord Rosebery'a colt, how
ever, is exceptionally well balanced and In
every way suited for the Epsom course.
Maher, I know, was of opinion that Slleve
Galllon could not have won the Two Thou
sand Guineas a yard further thsn he
actually did, and Benxonlan waa certainly
eased up In the last few strides, but unless
I am mistaken the Beckhampton colt
would have gone right away from the
field had they covered another fi'rlong or
even finished at the top of the town, and
Benxonlan, nice and Improving colt though
he certainly la, may perhaps never again
finish so near to the son of Gallinulo,
whose breeding. It will be remembered,
brought him out on the top of my figure
analysis, though by a very slight margin
above Galvanl. It Is a little odd Slleve
(lalHon's third dam, Allegra, should have
been a comparative failure for so many
years, while her own sister, Atalanta, at
tained almost Immediate fame with her
son. Ayshlre; but the Galopln and Feronla
blood has told In the long run, and very
big mark It has made now.
Slleve Galllon Is beautifully bred to make
a stallion, and he will be a really worthy
successor to his sire not but what Wlld
fowler Is shaping well In that line. Some
hopes are entertained of Wool Winder, but
except aa regards hla chance of running
third at Epsom, I do not think he needs
much attention. In short. I think there
are only two ln the Derby, and of these
two I prefer Slleve Galllon to Galvanl.
while I shall take Benxonlan for third
place. If only Polar Star were entered we
would Indeed have a battle royal, bat as
It Is the -Derby winner will have to be very
much above the average.
.Polar Star ia Missed.
Colonel Hall Walker 1 somewhat un
fortunate In not having Polar Star ln the
derb, for as a 2-year-old he waa rated
something better than either Galvanl or
Slleve Galllon. It Is stated, though, that
he did not develop as much as the other
two, but that will not b really known
until the trio meet later In the St. Leger.
BCIt Colonel Walker 1 partly consoled by
the prospect of victory with Witch Elm
In the Oaks. The Ally won the One Thou
sand Guineas without turning a hair, and,
as this Is the real try-out for the Oaks, the
result now Is a foregone conclusion. Witch
Elm covered the mile in one minute forty
two and two-fifths seconds, and thla la the
second fastest time ever recorded for the
course. Scepter's time of one minute forty
and one-fifth seconds In 1902 being the
best. Referring to the Allies, th same
expert aay:
I am glad Indeed that my old favorite,
Orme, should hsve sired another classic
winner, and there la plenty of time yet for
him to give us one of the Flying Fox
eellber. Apropos, tbe report that the duke
of Westminster and the duke of Portland
contemplate starting stud farms in Ireland
ts a little surprising. Why should they not
adopt the very much simpler plan of de
voting some fresh portion of their ample
estates to home breeding? Land which has
rulsed such s Bend Or. Ormonde, Orme,
Flvlng Fox and Scepter may be equaled In
Ireland, but It cannot possibly be Improved
upon. That Orme himself would be better
for a change to Ireland or elsewhere I do
not dispote. hut for he rest their graces
mav so further from their own estafee and
find themselves faring a good deal worse.
Onlv, of course. t is easy to understand
that any paddock -n be played out by
constant horse rearing. "
