The Vintage of 1911.
The hot summer will bring us one
blessing, the best vintage recorded
for years. The heat has not only
helped to mature the grapes thorough¬
ly in all the wine districts but It has
destroyed most of the obnoxious In¬
sects. The quantity will be that of an
ordinary good year. The champagne
people look forward to a vintage that
will surpass in excellence that of 1893,
and the Burgundy wines will be re¬
markable. The Bordeaux viticultur¬
ists also anticipate a rich quality for
this year, with a bouquet that will
compare favorably with the best.
The Bouth Is quite enthusiastic, and
announces that Its "ordinary" will be
fit to be drunk by millionaires.—Lon¬

COVINGTON NEWS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1911.
ADVANCE GUARD DRIVERS
ARRIVING IN SAVANNAH
Trying Out for Vanderbilt and Grand
Prize Races.
Savannah, Ga.—The advance guard
of drivers and cars for the Vanderbilt
tup and International Grand Prize
races and light car races, which will
take place in Savannah on November
27 and 30, have already arrived and
are daily trying out the famous course
over the Chatham county roads. With
the large number of entries and the
world's most famous drivers, these
two big blue ribbon events of auto
mobiledom will unquestionably prove
the greatest road races ever held in
the world. Never before have two
events of'such magnitude been held
at one time. Heretofore the Vander¬
bilt Cup race was held at Long Island
In October and the International Grand
Prize Race at Savannah in November.
Owing to the inability of the promo¬
ters to get the proper protection for
the course during the race and the
unequalled facilities offered by Sa¬
vannah, it was decided this year to
hold the big event at Savannah. It
can hardly be called a curtain raiser
for the Grand Prize, as it is itself
such a world famous race, but it will
be run first and two days later the
Grand Prize race will be run, the two
days being allowed to give competi¬
tors in the Vanderbilt race ample
time to overhaul and “tune-up" their
big space-killers for the Grand Prize
event. In these races and the light
car events it is probable that over
seventy-five cars will be entered. The
course is seventeen miles long, and
with the cars eating up distance at
the rate of 80 miles an hour, it will
be readily recognized that there will
always be “something doing*’ on ev¬
ery part of the course. Specially con¬
structed cars have been entered, the
most dare-devil drivers In the world
have been secured and it is absolute¬
ly certain that the excitement is go¬
ing to be intense and the races the
grandest sport ever held in the South
and, barring unforeseen accidents,
the greatest the world has ever yet
known.
ENOMS GASH PRIZES
IN BIG SAVANNAH RACES
Drivers of Big Cars That Win Will
Be Made Rich.
Savannah, Ga.—With $19,950 in
cash already hung up as prize money
for the winners of the automobile
races in Savannah on November 27
and 30, and with the large majority
of the tire concerns and accessory
manufacturers not yet heard from, it
appears that not only will the races
set up records for the annihilation of
distance, but will as well place-vaew
figures on prize money carried away
by winning drivers.
Recently the amounts were added
to by offers from the Bosch Magneto
company of $1,550 for the winners who
are equipped with Bosch magnetos
and by the Findelsen & Kropf Man¬
ufacturing company, makers of the
Rayfield carburetter of $2,500.
These with the previous offer of the
Remy Electric company of $4,250 to
those winning with Remy magnetos
and the offer of the Savannah Auto¬
mobile Club of $12,500 in gold to the
winners of the events, make the to¬
tal, which will be greatly swelled
when the other offers come in.
The letter of the Findelsen & Kropf
Manufacturing company is for the
winner of the Grand Prize race $1,000,
the winner of the Vanderbilt $500,
second man in the Vanderbilt $200,
winner of the Savannah Challenge
Trophy $250 and winner of the Tiede
man Cup Race $250.
The offer of the Bosch Magneto
company is $500, $200 and $100, re¬
spectively for first, second and third
place in the Grand Prize; $200, $50,
and $50 for first, second and third in
the Vanderbilt; $100, $50 and $50 for
the Tiedeman Trophy and the same
for the Savannah Challenge Trophy.
All these prizes are offered with the
proviso that the winners must be
equipped with the product of the com¬
pany offering the prize. The gold
prizes offered by the Savannah Au¬
tomobile Club are without restriction
to go to the winners.
WORLD’S MOST FAMOUS
WILL BE AT SAVANNAH
Never Before Has Such a Galaxy
Been Gotten Together.
Savannah, Ga.—Among the famous
drivers who will pilot cars in the
great Vanderbilt cup, International
Grand Prize, Tiedeman Trophy and
Savannah Challenge Trophy races,
which will be held in Savannah No¬
vember 27 and 30, are Bruce-Brown,
Burman, Wagner, Basle, Dawson,
Hemery, Bragg, Grant, Mulford, De
Palma, Tatzfeld, Hearn and a score
of others. These drivers are
all world famous. Never before was
such a galaxy of world famous driv¬
ers assembled In one place. The
greatest rivalry exists and it is known
that these men will enter the races
to win at all hazards. It is “do or
die” with them, for the race will make
the driver and the manufacturer of
the machine rich and world famous.
No amount of money could purchase
the prestige which winning these
races will give the cars. The manu¬
facturers have spent many thousand
dollars building special cars and speed
madness will be rampant in Savannah
during the otherwise calm days of our
* mdian summer.
SAVANNAH PREPARING TO
CARE FOR THE CROWDS
Bureau Has Been Formed With This
End in View.
Savannah is making great prepara¬
tions to take care of the crowds that
will come to the races. Naturally the
regular hotels and boarding houses
could not possibly accommodate the
hundreds of thousands who - will be
on hand, and the bureau of informa¬
tion for the races has arranged a
regular clearing house at which visit¬
ors can get all the information they
want as to other accommodations.
Every person in Savannah having
spare rooms or other accommodations
has been asked to communicate the
information to the bureau, which is
in charge of Mr. W. R. Finnegan, and
he has received word concerning thou¬
sands of rooms that will be available
for strangers. No one need fear that
he will not be taken care of. In addi¬
tion to these accommodations the
railroads and steamship companies
have arranged to park their sleeping
cars and dock their vessels, so that
many can occupy comfortable quar¬
ters there during the races. Special
and private cars and steamships will
be provided with all conveniences.
Numerous special train will be run,
and the railroads have made a half
rate for the occasion.
FREE RUNS TO SAVANNAH
RACES WILL BE GIVEN
Jackson Argus and Other Papers Get
in the Game.
Savannah.—As an evidence of the
great amount of interest being
taken throughout the state in the com¬
ing Grand Prize, Vanderbilt and light
car races at Savannah during Thanks¬
giving week, nothing is more convinc¬
ing than the action of a number of
Georgia papers in promoting "free
runs” to the races. The Jackson Ar¬
gus was probably the first weekly pa¬
per in the state to inaugurate these
contests, under the conditions of
which trips to the races are given
in return for subscriptions, the per¬
sons sending in the largest number
of subscriptions in each militia dis¬
trict being awarded an automobile
trip to the races, with all expenses
paid. The arrangement has proven
a splendid thing for the publishers,
and will probably serve to increase
the attendance on the races. It Is
certain that the crowds will be larger
than ever before and that the events
will be the greatest ever held in the
history of automobile racing.
