First One Hundred Miles.
Many Cars Forced Out.
Continued From Page 1.
l>ack In later as relief for Caleb
Bragg. the Mercer driver.
Paced by Carl G. Fisher, president
of the motor speedway, the racing
cars in the free-for-all 500-mlle con
test made a slow circuit of the course
Just before 10 o’clock.
At 10:30 the starting bomb was
fired and the racers plunged forward
on the mad chase around the brick-
paved track.
Bob Burman. driving a Keeton, was
the first man who experienced trouble
His steering knuckle was broken. His
car could not make the preliminary
circuit of the course. While the other
c;ars made the circuit Burman and
Tony Janette, his mechanician, work
ed desperately.
Their car wag repaired and they
trundled on the track and got away
.lust before the starter would hav
been compelled to declare them out of
the race.
The crowd, which favored Burman,
cheered wildly when it Haw his Kt
ton take the track. His only handicap
as a result of the accident was the
lack of a flying start and a position
far back in the field. The other cars
oroiH tl at arting line at an in
creasing speed of 60 miles an hour.
Drivers After Records.
The cars got away without a hitch,
except for Barman's mishap. The
drivers were out after records and
sent their machines away at top
speed. In the first dozen laps the cars
were bunched closely.
Bob Burman took the lead In the
fifteenth lap. going at a rate of 82
miles an hour. At the end of the sev
enteenth lap he was three-fourths lap
ahead of Anderson, Tower and Nik-
rent, who were following in that
order.
Anderson and Nikrent narrow-ly es
caped a spill in the eighteenth lap.
At the end of 40 miles Burman was
still holding the lead, while Zuccarelll
was second, with Nikrent third. In
the twentieth lap “the jinx” marked
Jenkins for its own. A broken crank
shaft sent him out of the race with
his Sclmcht.
DePalma forced to Quit.
DePalrna was in the eighteenth lap
when he was compelled to pull his car
from the track. DePalma a year ago
shattered all records and was within
peven miles of the finish when his car
was disabled and he was compelled to
quit the race.
At the fiftieth mile Guyot, in a Sun
beam, was leading, Burman second.
Time for 60 miles was 37:20.27. The
record for this class car was 39:47.35.
Don Herr, in a Stutz. was the third
to withdraw. A broken clutch dis
abled his car. and he was forced to
leave the truck.
At the end of 60 miles Burman still
wan leading. His time was 47:20.23.

60 miles had established a new record.
The time was 47:20.23.
At noon the race was apparently
between Burman, Tower and Otiyot.
Harry Grant, with one of the Isot-
ta cars, developed tire trouble and
went out of the race at the end of
80 miles.
At the end of the twenty-ninth lap
DePalma, a favorite wMth speedway
fans, got back into the race as re
lief driver. He slipped into the seat
of (’aleb Bragg, his Mercer team
mate, and starter! around the course
with the touch of daredevil that has
endeared him to motor fans.
Burman was retaining his post
tion in the lead at the end of 100
miles. Goux Peugot was second. Bur-
inans’ time for 100 miles was 1 hour.
15, minutes, 60 seconds and 56 hun
dredths. The record for this class of
carH was 1:23:43.1 1. The world’s rec
ord for all classes of cars was
1:13:37.25, established on the Indian
apolis motor speedway oy Tetzlaff in
a Fiat car on May 30, 1912.
At the end of 120 miles Burman and
his Keeton were first, Goux. In the
Peugeot, was second, Anderson, in a
Stutz. was third, and Merz, in a Stutz,
was fourth. Borman’s time for this
distance was 1:31.00.63,
Besides the tire trouble that hin
dered the operation of his Isotta.
Grant discovered a leak in the gaso
line tank that made it impossible for
him to get back in the race.
As Burman was making his fortieth
lap F.ndicott, In a Nyberg, was mak
ing his twentieth.
Burman was driving a masterly
race. For the first ten laps he con
tented himself with careful driving.
Then he began to develop the speed of
his car and soon shot ahead.
Merz drew an enthusiastic round of
applause when he stopped at the
Htutz pit, changed a tire and took on
oil and gasoline in 65 seconds.
For llu- first 100 miles th.- time av
eraged 78.94 miles an hour, while for
120 miles the average was 79.11. This
was not equal to last year's speed.
The time for 140 miles was 1:45:08.75.
Harry Grant, whose Isotta went out
of th« race, got into the running
again as relief driver for Billy Knip-

IS ASTOR
Ml CLOSES;
Finest Hostelry in World When
Built, It Gives Way to New
Century’s Progress.
NEW YORK May 30.—The old An-
tor House, which stands \n the path
of a proposed subway, was closed
yesterday and It is practically certain
its doors will never be opened as a
hostelry again. In all probability the
building will be torn down and a
modern structure erected on its site,
which is one of the most valuable in
the city.
The property is owned Jointly by
Vincent Astor and William Waldorf
Astor, Vincent owning the southern
half while the northern half belongs
to his cousin.
The Astor House was built by the
original John Jacob Astor, w r bo had
his little fur store around the corner
on Vesey Street. To build the hotel
he secured the property from various
owners whose homes occupied the
site.
The building was finished in 1836,
and in May of that year the doors
of the finest hotel in America at
that time were thrown open. It had
Cost $350»000 to build; an enormous
sum for those days. Although ther*'
wasn’t a room with a private bath in
the house it was considered to be
the last word in elegance and luxury.

President Lincoln stopped there on
his first visit to New York. The
monster meeting to arrange for the
reception of Charles Dickens on the
occasion of his visit to this country
was held here. Many public dinners
of note, chief among them the dinner
in honor of the Prince de Joinville,
in 1841, were held In the dining room.
General Fremont and his family lived
there during the presidential cam-
paign of 1856, and Admirals Fnrra-

after the war.

Trace the origin of the com

stipation was the cause. It is not
to be expected that a mass of fer
mented food can remain in the
system beyond its time without
vitiating the blood and affecting
the nerves and muscles. It con
gests the entire body.
The results are colds, fevers,
piles, headaches and nervousness
with its accompanying indigestion
artd sleeplessness. There is only
one thing to do, and that is to
remove the trouble; and when na

aid is necessary. You will find the

that many thousands are now us
ing for this very purpose, called
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
Many hundreds of letters are re
ceived by Dr. Caldwell 'telling of
the good results obtained and
among the enthusiastic letters is
one from Docia Wood, of Little
River Academy, North Carolina,
who suffered with constipation
and indigestion so badly that she
could not sleep well at night and
everything she ate distressed her.
She writes that after her mother
had given her Dr. Caldwell’s Syr
up Pepsin she “can now eat any
thing.”
It has untold advantages over
pills, salts and the various coarse

is to train the stomach and bowel
muscles to do their work naturally
again, and in a short time ail
forms of medicine can be dis

without inconvenience at any
nearby drug store for fifty cents
and one dollar a bottle, the latter
size being regularly bought by
those who already know its value.
Results are always guaranteed or
money will be refunded.
If no member of your family
has ever used Syrup Pepsin and

the regular way of a druggist,
send your address—a postal will
do—to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 417
