It would be a crime to even attempt t

rac which ha been run !nc 1904. For
genuine content non ever approached the
seventh VaudcrUllt ' race. Imagine a
driver ilk Uruo-Hrowrt bnlng swept off
hi ret by the furious pace of th leader.
Thr was. real class to th field which
lined up at the etart of th most grueling
speed battle J ever Wllnea.ed. Th fame
of lancla, Heath. Duray. Wagner,
liomery, clement, Nasarro and other
grat foreigner who wrote page of rac
ing history during th uoi and 100 Van

th new generation, whtoU shattered th
record (t by th okMlmars, Th In
trepld Lancia would hav been a a toy
before the auperb drlvlnn ot the (mltlng
and boyish Mulford; that foarlet and
klllful y9ungstr, product of Brighton

wa th speed and hurricane spurt that
Harry Clrant. hero of th 1001 and WlO
Vsnderbllt was lost at th finish, crow
ing th tap a rather indifferent fourth.
Thr I yet th story of th Grand
mi race for m to tell. But I am
gclng to wa't until next week to give
my lmpressloi.s of the great battle. I
have not been cble to era th picture
of that mad, seething, speed-blur of th
running of th Vsnderbllt from my
mind. I am glad Mjiford won. He is
class all th Wy through and there was
never Mmo when class failed to show.
And th lad piloted an American-made
car, whoa maker have alway stood for1
everything In th racing gam which wa
clean and square. Mulford employer
never employed any m-thoil but th
fairest In their racing campaigns.
Ualph DePalma wa th surprise of the
rsc to me. Th winnsr of second place
fought a great duel with Mulford and
hi driving wa almost perfect. I did
not think he could bring hi car out
whofe aftr such a grilling iao. Spencer
Wlsham, the young millionaire, proved
hi Worth a a pilot by finishing third.
