I Huffman 4 Co. has received the following from New York: "Received per fect score In three days' sealed bonnet endurance contest from New York through Caleklll and Berkshire mountains and re turn. Car. came through In perfect con dition." C. A. Hawkins, general manager of the western sales department of the White company, after a long drive In the new White gasoline car, said he was sur , prised at Its performing capacity. "As you probably know, this car of the White Company Is no experiment, being a copy of a car that sella for $3,000 In France, and has the best reputation and Is the btkt selling car In that market. On my first ride In this machine we ran 140 miles and averaged twenty-two and one-half miles to the gallon of gasoline, four peo ple up. One of a few things about this IK.w car that pleases me Is the clean and simple effect under the hood, as there la no complication such as you find ordi narlly In the American made cars. It Is quipped with Bosch magneto and Strom' berg carburetor, has four speed trans missions, which is the latest and most desirable practice that baa been adopted thia year." C. E. Denser, assistant manager of the White company In Chicago, Is in the city. Chicago's first contraot for 1510 White Steamer ia 600. Drummond will receive his 1910 models of steam and gasoline cars during e next thirty daya and will show them In his Farnam atreet garage. Ear Thompson and I H. Thompso. of ' Salt Lake City, accompanied by Frank : Botterlll, who left Buffalo Wednesday on their return trip, arrived in Omaha yester ) day at Frediickson's garage. The party f Is traveling In a Fierce-Arrow. W,' L. Huffman has received the follow ing tlrm frnm Ran ITrnriftGn: "Inter- State made perfect score, twenty-four-hour endurance contest, covering 6M miles. ' The first retail order for a White gaso ollne car In San Francisco was placed on Saturday by Mr. Oabe Coha, a promi nent business man. Mr. Conn a few weeks ago purchased a model "O" White steamer car and Is having this machine shipped to Manilla on the 20th. He Intends to spend the next three months automoblllng In the Philippines. The Electric Garage has secured the agency for the Packard and will show seven 30s and three lSs, models 1910, within the next two week. The Packard has never been handled In Omaha, although there are six machines on the streets. The Electric Garsge will be in Its new home, 4218 Farnam, August 1. Mr. George Redlck 'has become a member of the firm and the business will be pushed vigorously for a record breaking season. W. I Huffman ft Co. moved Into the garage formerly occupied by the Colt Auto company, on Farnam street. Colt now oc cupies the new garage up the row In the next block, alongside of Guy Smith. The new Electric garage, In process of con struction, will be finished within fifteen days. It Is across the street from Guy Smith's new garage. Tt Is not known now whether the places which .Smith and the Baker people leave will be used for auto mobile purposes or not. It was announced some time ago that the T. O. Northwall company might bring the Brush runabout up on Automobile row, but nothing definite la known of such an arrangement. General Manager Rers of the Interna tional expects to receive his new models during the next sixty days. The Interna tional is a high wheel car- and has made rapid strides throughout sections of Ne braska and Iowa whore it has been tried out. Fredrlckson received the following tele gram yesterday from Los Angeles: "Bert Dlngley driving Chalmers-Detroit 30, on the greatest road course In America won Shetler trophy for light cars. 202 miles; t hours, 38 minutes and 35 seconds; aver age, (t miles per hour, defeating all com petitorsWestern Motor Co," To be sure of the roadway for the Olld den tourists Into Council Bluffs, Messru Van Brunt, Kellne, Searl, Haefters and Blerre of the Council Bluffs club, rode over the grounds yesterday, taking with them supervisor of Roads Baker, and Roadmaster Kelly.

R Kimball has returned from a trip to the Cadillac factory, and expects to bring out the largest shipment of Cadllacs ever brought to Omaha, Relm Is especially pleased with the 1910 model, and thinks that It will be the Identical thing for the west. One of the great runs of the year was the contest running out of Boston to Bret ton Woods, N. H., and return. It was a twenty-four-hour sealed bonnet contest, In which the motors were not permitted to stop running. Frank E. Wing, with the same Marmon "Fifty" that came through the Glldden tour perfect, laid out the route with the committee of the Bay State Automobile association, making the round trip of S76 miles In record time. The con test Itself took place under trying weather and road conditions. Wing again made a perfect score and was also awarded, by vote of "the observers, a gold watch offered as a prlie to the driver who held closest to the schedule and did the most con sistent driving. One of the prettiest and most graceful cars seen in Omaha at all. Is the Herre schoff, brought out by Drummond yester day. This la designed by the famous r kauiaww . a. , . . ....

Manager Peck toured the city yesterday In the new car, and expects to make It as popular In Omaha as it Is east. C. F. Louk has received ' the Marmon, the Indiana car which made Its reputation In the Glldden tour. The car made over 1.700 miles without touching a wrench or crewdrlvar to any part of the machine.

Pueblo ought to educate Bonno and Gal gano In the head also. 8eems the loss of Lajole Is more than made up by the return of Elmer Flick. Lincoln made a grandN eighth inning fin ish and jerked a game from Wichita with six runs. Old Jimmy Collins as captain of Minne apolis is making the other American as sociation teams sweat. Bad Bill Dahlen Is the last of the old Giants to reach the waiver stage. Mc Glnnity beat It because he had money enough to buy a team. Yes, If Glenalvln comes to Omaha and umpires as well as they say he Is doing elsewhere, he will find at least one "scribe" prompt to do him justice. Detroit's Donavon had scarcely fallen till a Mulltn arose to take his place, and when Mullln began to topple a summers rose up and did something that atl but eclipses any achievement of the other two great pitchers. Keeley Is the quickest pitcher In the league when it comes to whirling to catob bane runners. He showed this to Spencer, who, next to Fisher, Is the league's swift est base runner. By the way. Detroit has been lamenting for two years the need of more catching strength. Wonder what Jennings thinks by now of Archer, whom he slid down to Buffalo and who Is doing the heavy work for the Cuhs. Even wise men get fooled. The California outlaw league Is In a state of decomposition predicted for It. It has dropped two of Its six towns. Santa Crus and San Jose. By the way. Santa Cruz is the town that Hal Chase was hooked up with. The other towns are not drawing any crowds. All of which Is good news. The secret of Walter Johnson's success has at last been discovered. He was born In Kansas. This Washington wonder, who pitched eighty-five consecutive innings in a little Idaho league without being scored against, ought to make known this fact of hi nativity long ago and not hold peo ple In suspense. Chick Autrey fielded a magnificent first for Boston, Just as he did for Cincinnati, but falling to hit, he hss been transferred to Lynn, Mass., but not finally disposed of by Boston. Chick's friends believe he suffered by playing ball all lat winter In stead of resting and Is now paying the penalty. But he will come to the top yet. When two teams like Detroit and Wash ington go for eighteen Innings with half a dozen hits apiece and no runs, you may be sure that tome wonderful pitching and fielding was done. Jlgga Donohue at first for the Senators took twenty-eight cnances with two errors and Rossman took twenty-six without a wobble. By the way, this Is the same Rossman who was being reieaaea py every other writer in the coun try a few weeks ago. Catcher Street of Washington garnered in fifteen chances without an error, himrelf. Bummers pitched the entire same for the Tiarers. while Gromme and Gray divided it for the Dcnaiors. ANISIOUNCEIVIErSIT ! We beg to announce to the public that we are now located ' In our new building: at 2209 Farnam 8treet, juat one block west of the old location, where we will be pleased to welcome our patrons and friends.

L HUFFMAN I CO., 1824 Farnam St. Distributer Chalmers-Detroit "30"-$ 1500 Towing Car, Roadster, Pony Teaseao, Lajxlaulet, Coupe, Limousin Chalmers-Detroit "Forty Price $2,750 Touring Car, Peay Teaneeu, Roadster. Equipped for aeroa peasant era at $75.00 The New Chalmers Cars for 1910 No Increase in Price Note the pictures. Our "30" haa a 115-Inch Wheel base with 34-inch wheels. A longer, higher hood to accord with a roomier tonneau. Lines like the costliest can on the market. Yet net a penny of additional price. The car still aella lor $1500. Let us tell you how we have dona it. 1,000 More Can Last Mason's output ol "30's" waa 2,500 can, yet we ran 800 can short of our orders. We were obliged to refuse trade to the extent of $1,200,000. Thia year we have built a new factory, and our 1910 output of "30's" will be 3,500 can. Those 1,000 extra can will be made without adding a dollar to our fixed expense. They will also be made with last year's tools and machinery. We have almost no new expense there. For mechanically, the car Is not altered at all. Ex perience has shown us no way to improve it. Thus we effect immense savings. And all of these aavings have gone into the car to make it more tightly, more roomy, more like the costliest can. Nine Per Cent Profit Our profit this season will be the same as last season exactly nine per cent. Our customen have created theee aavings by calling for more of our can. And every penny we save wiU be apent in giving theaa more beautiful can. That la our permanent policy. Please note the result. Note what a large and showy car note the exquisite lines. Juat think that $1500 new buys this am&sicg car. Lower Price We will fit this $1500 car with a Bosch magneto1 Prest-O-Ute gas tank, and two Atwood-Caatle gas lampa all for $100 extra. The regular price of these extraa is $175. We will furnish our "30" with a Lenox mohair top for $75 extra. The regular price is $125. We shall give you all the advantage of our quan tlty buying. So this 1010 model, fully equipped, costs you $115 leas than did our 1909 model, equally equipped. - A longer, higher hood, roomier tonneau, longer wheel base, larger wheels and daintier lines. Yet the oost equipped Is considerably less than the model of 1609. No Records Like These One of the Chalmen-Detroit "30's" has been run 32,000 miles, and haa just completed a path-finding trip from Denver te Mexico City. Never has any car, at any price, made aa equal endurance record. Ownen have paid us for repairs on their 1909 can exactly $2.44 per car. That is a world's record. On June 18th, a "30" won the Indiana Light Car Race, the greatest centest of its kind ever held in America, doing 232.74 miles at an average speed of 51.5 miles per hour. Oa aa economy test, made by the New York Auto Dealers' Association, it raa 25.7 miles on a gallon of gasoline. Never haa a car at any price proved so satisfac tory. Never did a car show such low cost for upkeep. That is why we make no radical mechanical changes. Experience haa proved that the 1909 "30" ia absolutely right mechanically. The Larger "Forty Our Forty" for 1910 has 36 -inch wheels. The wheel baas ia 122 inches ten laches longer than last year. The car seats seven, while last season's seated five. Upholstered in hand-buffed leather. Fitted with Bosch magneto, gas lamps and gaa tank free. Yet the price remains $2,750. We will equip this car with a $150 Newport mo hair top for $125 extra. The two extra seats will cost you but $75. So this larger car, with larger wheels, when fully equipped, costs considerably leas than last year. This Is our "Forty's" fifth season. It is known far and wide as the best medium-priced car on the mar ket. It has been purchased by score of the best experts in America for their personal use. This season, with its extra room, there Is not a car at any price which can reasonably claim to excel it. Made aa touring car, roadster and pony tonneau. See These New Cr Every Chalmers-Detroit dealer now haa photo gTaphs of these new models. Demonstrating can will be ready this mouth. Deliveries to users begin August 1st. See them before you buy. The tide of automobile demand ia turning to these medium-priced can. Not alone because of their prices, but mainly because of their savings on up keep. The day of extravagance is past. Last season these can had no real competition. The demand was a third greater than could be sup plied. This season, no medium-priced car will bo anywhere near in their class. Get your order in early, for orden are filled In ro tation. August delivery gives you five months' use before the car's year begins. Chalmers-Detroit THOMAS, PIERCE, RAPID H. E.
