Other American cities where Jenny and sang are arranging to celebrate the day. Born in Stockholin, Jenny Lind was born in Stockholm of humble parents. ‘She sang from childhood and famous teachers be- ‘ame interested in her. At 12, her voice entirely failed. Four years later it came back and a remarkable ca- reer began. Her first operatic role was Alice in Meyerbeer’s “Robert 1c’ Diable.” -Having been acclaimed in her. own country and in Norway, sh+ arried her conquests to the conti- nent and to England. She was probably the most talked- of person in public life in all Europe vhen Barnum, without having seen ver ot heard her, persuaded her ty make a tour of the United States. No sooner was the contract signed than he new according to his wtobiography, ‘began to prepare the vublic mind for the- reception of the sreal songstress.

The Nightingale gave about 135 concerts in this country—miore than Everywhere tudiences fought to ‘fain entrance: to he concert halls. Everywhere they stormed her with applause—and ev- srywhere admirers and charity seek 2s besieged her. Hxtra’ concerts had to be given to satisfy the hrongs—and Jenny Lind herself add- ad more extra concerts for charity. People prominent in public lite paid her great honors. Mayors and Zovernors presented their. compil- ments in person. Broke Contract. Jenny Lind broke her contract with Barnum with 55 concerts yet to sing—but the great showman and the Nightingale parted friends. While visiting in Boston, she was married to Otto Goldschmidt, composer and pianist, and shortly thereafter re- turned to Europe. In 1858, she took up her residence in England, where she died in 1887. There is no record of Jenny Lind’s voice. But the journals of her time, the few living people who heard her and those to whom the memory has been handed down all tell the same story—“It was wonderful.” | ESSEX WINS THE _s| COVETED RECORD ACROSS COUNTRY | Makes Trip'in 4 Days, 14 Hours and 43 Minutes, Carry- ing U.

Another Essex Going From New York to San Francisco Broke the Record For That Direction by 22 Hours 13 Min., Completing the Trip In 4 Days 19 Hours 17 Minutes “So Essex Holds the Transcontinental Record Both Ways Two Essex touring cars, carrying U.S. Mail, each one making the entire trip between San Francisco and New York, have set the time records for their respective directions across the American continent. And thus comes to Essex another distinc- tion for reliability and endurance. Except for one airplane record, these two Essex cars have crossed the continent in less time than was ever recorded by any travelling machine. The fastest time possible between San Francisco and New York by train is slightly less than the time taken by the light weight economical Essex. But in the case of the railroad train, many different locomotives are used, each pulling the train only a few hundred miles. From Cheyenne to Omaha the route taken. by the Essex was 43 miles longer than the 550 mile route of the famous Overland Limited yet the Essex time was but one hour longer than the express train time. The World’s Most” Coveted Records From the days of the Prairie Schooner, the Pony Express and the completion of the rail- roads men have sought to establish new trans- continental time records between the Atlantic ‘and Pacific oceans. It has called for the highest development of skill and courage. And it has, as in the case of the motor car, blazed the. way to mechanical reliability. The purpose of this Essex test was to prove its reliability. In the period of 114 hours was crowded more strains, more calls for endurance and mechanical strength than the average owner demands in a life time. Every requirement of motor car perform- ance was met by these two cars. And the fact that they so consistently met their tasks proves Essex uniformity. g ' The speeds at which they traveled were not so unusual, for another Essex stock car had on a speedway track gone 3037 miles in 50 hours. But in the transcontinental runs, _ some 350 cities and towns had to be crossed. (Crowded traffic imposed its obstacles to con- sistent going. Mountain ranges in the East and West with grades such as the average driver never encounters, called for the utmost of hill clinabing ability. Few will ever motor all the way across America and therefore cannot know -the extreme varieties of conditions encountered. But let each reader apply to his consideration / of what Essex has done, every experience he has ever met in his own driving. It will give some appreciation of Essex reliability. Light Weight Now Establishes Reliability How gradual have men come to a realiza- tion that a light weight car can also offer reliance and performance. Essex has led the way for that was its purpose from-the very first. Economy is of growing importance. Men want to save in fuel and in first costs. But they want no- sacrifice in performance and they demand unquestioned reliability. Essex offered itself to the public without claim. Now more than 40. ,000 owners know and praise its worth. Owner cars that had been driven upwards of 25,000 miles were used in the recent nation wide Essex week to establish reliability, eco- nomy, speed and hill climbing records. To Essex owners the winning of the trans- continental records*is not a surprise. But those who do not know! Essex performance and reliability must. regard that these two trips across the continent are as important in marking mechanical advancement as any similar event in the history of the motor car, R. B.
