President Getting Big Thrill Driving New Takes Hand-Driven Along Heavily Used Albany Post : Road and BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. HYDE PARK, N. Y., August 1.—Presi- dent Roosevelt is getting a big thrill out of the specially constructed auto- mobile which he can drive himself. It was supposed that the President would use this car just to drive him- self over his estate, and to and from the swimming pool which is 2 milles | from his home, but he surprised all the members of his party here yesterday afternoon by going for a drive out on the public highways. 'With only Mrs. Roosevelt as his rid- ing companion. the Prevident sped this newly delivered hand-driven convert- | ible black sedan for more than two hours yesterday through the heavy traffic of the Albany Post read. and again for an hour's spin this morning. He and Mrs Roosevelt did not seem to mind in the least the scorching sun s they whizced along, with the top of the car down.

It was the first time a Sun man had ever “made” the -ws columns of the paper.
