Robertson Wins Cup. New American Speed Record Set
George Robertson in a Locomobile won the Vanderbilt Cup on Long Island in a thriller over Isotta driven by Herbert Lytle. A crowd of about 250000 watched as both cars battled for the lead amid a treacherous wet course. An accident injured a spectator. Strang withdrew early and several other entries failed to finish. Robertson’s margin over Lytle finished under two minutes with the Locomobile posting an American long-distance record and an average speed around 66.7 mph before stoppages.
