It Is estimated that over 100 - electric
pleasure cars are driven In this city, mostly
by women, who find in this type a ma
chine that Is easily handled and which
perhaps Is more fitted to their needs than
a gasoline car. Most women would have a
bard time starting a motor In the first
place. Again many of them object to hav
ing to tinker with the machinery or per
haps change a tire, solids or cushious be
ing preferred by many of the women be
cause of the Immunity from puncture.
"The electric tendencies for this year
make an Interesting study," says Den las
Barkalow. manager - of the Electric Gar
age company. "In the first place the pur
chasers of this type are striving to get
amay from many of the gew-gawt with
which toe Interior of the ears have been
decorated vases for flowers, smelling salts
and the like. Now the plainer the Interior
ritttngs the more aristocratic the appear
j ance of the car, seems to be tte opinion of
i many. Handbuffed leather lnseead of up
holstery has the call thla year and In gen-
eral there has been a refining of the pro
duct.
"Mechanically speaking, the -average
wheel base has been Increased somewhat.
I-ever steel continues to be popular, al
though some makers fit s steering wheel,
such aa ia found on gasoline cars. Gen
erally an , optton Is given of pneumatic or
solid tire. Rome dealers prefer the solid,
because ao many owners are women, who
fesr puncturing of tires.
"Also there Is an option In most cases
of lead or Edison betterlee. The mileage of
the average owner Is from fifty to seventy
five miles on a charge. The average speed
has Jumped from about fifteen miles to
twenty miles an l.our. "

day. the last entry which has been named '
being a VYescotl specially built car, with '
Harry Knight, one of the youngest speed- J
way drivers in the business, nominated as i
the pilot. !
The cash prlie of l.0 which the speed-i
way management has bung up for this
one race Is proving to be a magnet for the j
greatest drivers In the automobile racing j
sport. Almost without exception the men!
who have been successful In motor racing i
during the last three er four years will
atari in the big race, and the speedway
management, basing its estimate upon the
intentiona announced by the various manu
facturers and drivers, reports that fully
thirty cars will be entered In the contest
and probably more. The entries thus far
made are Lewis Strang. In a Case car; C.
B. Baldwin. In an Inter-State "So;" Johnny
Aitken. In a National ' ; Louis Disbrow,
in a Pope-Hartford; Frank Fox. In a Pope

that Ralph De Palma, the mile track cham.

The front seat has at its back a wind shield
which rises and meets the front of a cape
