NEW YORK, July 13.-ForaM an
nouncement of the plan for the conjunc
tion of the metropolitan motor speedway
were made by the Metropolitan Motor
Speedway association. ' . ?
' . The association has been formed to
; take over 300 acres on the Jersey
meadows, near Newark, for the purpose
Of constructing a' rnotordome and
stadium.; .Ground will be -broken,' this
month and the speedway is to be com
pleted within a yeaf. On July i 1913,
- the .opening event will ba staged an In
' ternational 500-mile race. ' '
i . The fact that A. R. Partington, who
' baa been actively connected with the
Long Island Motor parkway and the
Motor Cups Holding company, is vice
" president and general manager of the
'Metropolitan Motor speedway, and also
' the fact that Fred J. Wagner, the Amer
iican Automobile association starter and
'race promoter, is already heavily Inter
ested financially and as a director la
.'sufficient guarantee to any one familiar
With the sport that the project will be
carried through successfully. H. E. Hoyt,
Vlce president of the American Potash
:Jompany, U president Jof the speedway;
If heodore F. Keer, vice president of the
Newark Trust companyv, Is treasurer, and
ty. H, Oeborn, secretary. The latter is
Mlso secretary- of the Commercial Main-
tenance and Motor company.
IS It Is not merely Intended to make the
"new speedway 'stag for automobile
j speed contest.- Ixng distance motor
tcycle racea and other race will be held
ftt the brick oval-while the infield will be
Yftuable for aviation meets, bas ball.
foot ball field and track athletics, clr
cuses, wild west shows, eta The en
tire plant will be surrounded by a high
fence.. The speedway itself la to be sixty
feet wide, excepting on the turns, which
are to be seventy-five feet In width and
scientifically banked with saucer curves.
Grandstands with box and promenade
seats will be erected the entire lengths
of the straightaway stretches. The pro
posed capacity of these stands is 200,000.
Parking space to accommodate 10,000 cars
wlU be divided In the Infield, which will
be accessible by means of three double
track tunnels, forming the entrance and
exit of cars and pedestrians. Garages,
repair and machine shops, pits, a hotel
and club bouse, a restaurant and other
buildings will b ''erected. For night
events, such as twenty-four-hour races,
a number of which are to be run, the
two miles of speedway will be illuminated
In such a way as to provide plenty of
light without blinding the drivers.
The races at the Indianapolis speedway
drew crowds of more than 80,000 to each
of the MO-mlle- racea held there. , Indian
apolis has to draw on a population of
only about 1,000,000, whereas within a
radius of twenty miles of the Metropoli
tan motor speedway th total population
la 7,000,000. Furthermore, the Metropoli
tan district, during the summer month
baa a pleasure seeking, floating popula
tion of at least 1,000,000. In view of this
a number of experts say that the pro
posed grandstand capacity of 200,000 will
be Inadequate and advise building the
stand larger. .
Has Owied Elevea Cars.
If any motorist holds a record of own
ing the greatest number of cars of one
make, It will doubtless be shattered by
the record of Maurice Lowensteln of
Mobile, Ala.' Mr. Lewensteln has owned
eleven Gtoddard-Dayton cars of various
types and he says the pride of ownership
has reached its height with him, for he
has just bought hi twelfth Stoddard-
Payton, a six-cylinder Silent Knight
Compartment roadster.
