MOTOR VEHICLE RECORDS.

Four automobile track race meets of moment were run in this country in 1900 -Newport, R. I., Sept. 6; Chicago, Sept. 18-22; Guttenburg, N. J., Sept. 18, and Trenton, N. J., Sept. 22. At these meets American automobile, motor tricycle and motor quadricycle track records were established. The accompanying compilation Iwas made from the racing reports of these meets. In some of the reports intermediate times were not given, so that the records quoted are based entirely on figures given out by the timers. These are complete for Trenton and Guttenburg, but incomplete for Chicago. Few, if any, of the figures, however, would require change.

The one great road race of 1900 was that of the Automobile Club of America for 50 miles, from Springfield to Babylon to Springfield, Long Island, April 14, 1900. Official times were taken at Babylon, thus establishing twenty-five mile records.
