Auto Efficiency Run Ends With 37 Of 41 Arriving
Forty one cars started from New York in a two day mechanical efficiency test by the New York Trade Association. Thirty seven arrived at Montauk by evening. Several cars failed due to differential and wheel troubles. Confusion near five miles out caused many to stray off route. Officials decided not to penalize late arrivals. Women drivers Mrs. John Cuneo and Mrs. J. R. Ramsey performed well. Charles Lowd in a White steamer led arrivals. The 16 horsepower American Locomotive Company cab drew interest for steady pace. The party walked a mile and a half from the station to the Shinnecock hotel steamer.
