WAGNER IN FIAT
WONJTO RACES
ALU AMERICAN AUTO RECORDS
BROKEN IN SAVANNAH
By the narrow margin of 50 seconds
I.ouls Wagner won the first American
Grand Prise automobile race yester
day, and hung n;> a new American
road record.
In no motor race In history oifr
such a long distance—moro than 400
miles-—has the finish been so close,
have so many cars finished, and have
such complete preparations and ar
rangement. been made.
Except the world's roaj race record
every known’record of every sort In
bringing a great race to a successful
finish ha. been shattered.
Hurling hi. monster Flat car along
for 6 bourn, 10 minutes and 31 sec
onds at a pace that on the stretches
wns over a hundred and that averaged
05.1 mites an hour, the slender mus-
tached winner was compelled to strug
gle hard-for every second of the win
ning time, and but for the fate that
interfere In most races would have
been defeated by his team mate, Fe
lice Nazzaro, holder of the world’s
road record.
Nazzaro bn his last lap, nnd looking
ait over the winner, throw a tire when
within fifteen mile, of victory, and
both Wagner and Victor Hemery, ot
tbo wbeol of his big Bens car, passed
aim before the damage could be i
paired.
Hemery croisod the tape before
Wagner, who started in the race six
mlnutea after the burly Frenchman
and though the Benz car had finished
Ita journey of ;02.l\nlles while Wag
ner was still urging his machine to
Its utmost, the latter, believed by
many to have won the race, had left
the ’ course, V „ ... ■
It required an official announcement
of the time by the Judges before Wag;
ner could be acclaimed winner. The
first three cars finished as follows,
showing the closest finish of any au
tomobile road race ever run:
Louis Wagner. Flat. Time, <S hours
ten minutes, 31 seconds.
Victory Hemery, Bens. Time, 3
hours eleven minutes, 27 seconds.
Felice Ntsxaro, Fist Time, < hours
18 minutes, 47 seconds.
A larger per oent, of cars finished
than ever before in a road race, nine
of the twenty cars completing the (la
teen laps of the-26.132 miles course,
while three others were running whan
the race was called.
Only two serious aelJents oocurred
and in one of them ail exhibition of
heroism kept tho thousands of specta
tors that lined the course from know
ing that an accident had occurred, and
kept the car that met It In the race to
the finish.
Wagner’s victory in the first Grand
Prize is no empty honor.
His prizes will enable him to Uve
comfortably for a year or two at least
and he could enjoy a whole month of
blowing money-without ending It all
’dead broke.”
Wagner gets |4,000 cash from the
arize moneys offered the winning
lriver by the A. C. A., and S. A. C.
The Michelin Tire Company will give
him $1,000 while the Boach magneto
makers will give half this innob. His
-or waa equipped with these parts.
The makers of the oil he used In bis
tar will Increase his prize money, and
:e will get other smaller prizes. His
fee for driving tho Flat ear to victory
will be large, and altogether he will
-robaldy receive In excess of $10,000
for his day’s work. The four drivers
who followed him across the tape will
split the remainder of the $3,000 purse
ifforod by the two ante dobs.

MANY WAYCROSSITES
. SAW THE RACE
It Is estimated that more than
Wnycross people attended the races
In Savannah yesterday, most of whom
went down Wednesday night. A
largo number left on the morning
trains Wednesday and many went
down on the "Waycross Special"
which left here at C o'clock yesterday
morning.
Two sleeping cars were filled with
Waycross people on the Wednesday
night train and these wure provided
with comfortable berths during the
night. The sleeperB were sidetrack
ed in the union station nnd the pas
sengers remained aboard until the
next morning.
There wore some parties trom this
city who stayod together all during
the day, but the others went out atone
or in pairs, and because of the great
crowds it was seldom that one mot
up with an acquaintance.
Most of the visitors from this city
to Savannah returned home last night
or this morning, but a few will stop
over u day or two longer in that city.
3AINSRIDQE GROCERY CO.,
BURNED, LOSS HEAVY.
Balnbridge, Oa„ Nov. 20.—The naln-
bridge Grocery Company was total
ly destroyed by lire about 7 o'clock
Tuesday night. Tho building wns fully
equipped with a sprinkior system. The
loss is estimated nt thirty thousnnd
tars, partially covered by insuran
ce. The origin of the fire Is un
known.
A LAUGHING WILD MAN.
Noralstownfl, Conn., the residing
place of some of New York's wealth
iest business men has a mystery In
tho person of a "Wild Mao of tho
Woods’’.-Somotlmes hls.faco is mask
e«l; sometimes It Is not. He lurks be
hind trees, and at night when a pede
strian comes along steps quickly up
to his side, peeps Into bis fsce, laughs
and runs away.
A group of young men headed by
John Bartln found the wild man in
a dense thicket, in Schooflcld’s woods
and tried lo surround him, but be took
to his heels snd escaped.- They de
scribed him as of middle age, tall, and
athletic. The woman and children
ot the village are so frightened they
will not venture out after dark.
DEMOCRACY’S NIXT LEADER.
Here la a prediction worth noticing:
John A. Johnson, the governor of Min-
nesotta, will be the man to taka Mr.
Bryan's place at the head ot tbs Demo
cratic column. Johnson has just
been elected chief executive of hie
state for the third term. Hla majority
I* 20,000 against an organisation of
Republicans who, like Johnson, bad
Swedish ancestors. While Johnson,
Democratic was elscted with this safe
nargin Taft was carrying Minnesota
by 100,000.
Jchn Johnson waa not the man for
i be fight Just ended. Tho Democracy
bed Its heart set on Bryan, nnd John
son’s nomination would have been a
ml*itke. It would have sent the Bry
an men Into the eulks and split the
rarty. Toe situation will be different
In 1912. Every Bryan man. unless It
he Bryan himself, will admit the ne
cessity for a naw leadership. John
son will be the man. He will be able
to control a large Northwestern vote
of value, and It may he that he wnl
win the confidence of the Independ
ent citizen down East
At all events, Bryan la down and
out as a leader. Hiagen didn't get
enough votes to Imperii the Democrat
ic organisation, which aa a necessary
opposition party, will soon begin to
hlnk of new plane and to cherish
aew hopes.—St. Louis Times.
