Aug. 26.—Only four horses starter in the King George V stake, $5,000, for 2.14 trotters, the fea- ture of the second day’s grand circuit races at the Fort Erle track, today. Lassle McGregor won th efirst two heats rather easily and took the fifth heat from Margaret Druin with little to spare. After Oakdale had won the first heat of the Queen City stake for 2.08 trotters in 2.12, the judges ordered all bets off on the heat.” Omar won the next three heats and race. The judges’ finding that no heavy bets had been made on the heat or the race, announced that no_further ruling would be made. R. H. Breat won the 2.07 pace in Straight heats. E. I. White, an ama- feur driver from Syracuse, won the road drivers' futurity for three Easy Victory. Newport. R. I, Aug. 26—Three matches each three hours long, lent unusual interest to the fourth round of the all-comers’ tournament for the nationdl singles lawn championship today. Thirteen of the contests in the round were settled in short order, twelve of them in straight sets. Three pairs, however, were too closely match- ed for early decisions. G. H. Touch- ard of the West Side club, New York, fought E. H. Whitney of the Harvard team and Longwood, through five long sets before victory perched on his side of the net. Touchard won thirty- three games and Whitney thirty. F. C. Inman of the same club, West Side club, was’ compelled to play five sets inated H. C. Johnson, also of Long- wood Cricket club. The third extend- ed match was between Charles A. Major of Tampa, Fla., and Sidney Tay- lor Jr., of Philadelphia, the former winning after playing 55 games.

CHENEY HELD THE BRAVES TO ONE HIT Evers and Zimmerman Caused a Free for All ht—Score 1 to 0 Chicago, Aug. 26.—In_a game in which Cheney allowed Boston only one hit and no runs and Saier scored Chicago’s only run with a four base drive, the tension of the close league race today grew so great that the players of both clubs engaged in a fist fight. Several players were ban- islied from the game. In the seventh inning, after Saier drove the ball over the right fleld screen for his home run, Zimmerman followed with a hit to left fleld and attempteq to stretch it into a double. Evers was walting with the ball and tagged Zimmerman when he slid into second base. Something,unseen hap- pened, for Evers hit Zilnmerman on the head with the ball as the player slid past the base. Zimmerman arose immediately and a free for all fight followed. Maranville came to Evers’ assistance and a swarm of the home players rushed to the aid of Zimmer- man. When order was restored Zim- merman, Evers, Maranville and Schmidt were sent to the club house. Manager Stallings sent Pltcher Hess to first base for Boston.

' I have often wondered what would occur if every engineer and designer 7|in the country were to indulge him- selt to the extent of designing and making an automobile according to his ideals without careful consideration of the practical in the result, says H. T. Thomas, a well known engineer. This is a subject which to my know- ledge has never been openly discussod as one of the problems in car building but is a factor which would undoubt- edly be a very serious one were it aot most carefully watched. The efforts of the pioneer designer were plainly toward producing a ma- chine that would van and give reliable service. The last ten years have seen much of the impracticable weeded out, and today the automobile is approach- ing a standardized construction. This is the period of extremes, and I am iriclined to predict that many of the old ideas which were considered somewhat impractical will be brought to life. The low priced car will be developed to the extreme of simplicity. Things which were considered rather crude will again be used. The so- called medium priced car will reach an extreme of luxuriousness which a few years ago would have been thought impossible even in the highest ‘priced imported cars. The practical efficiency of the car regardless of the price must be main- tained. A low ideal in 'this respect is more to be guarded against than ono of luxuriousness and beauty. The proper balance and maintenance of both is the somewhat difficult task that confronts the successful automo- bile designer. To secure an equalization of all the elements that enter into the successful production of the properly balanced automobile, the sciences which have been applied successfully to the de- slgn of ships, steel bulidings, electrical machinery, efc, have aiso been utilized in perfecting the motor car by our most successful manufacturers. Generally, the practical engineer is not a good sclentist—neither is the 800d sclentist a good engineer. = But When these two professions _are brought together under one roof, where differences can be reconciled by inves- tigation and experiment, then the final | June 30, 1914, were the largest on rec- results are 99 per cent. pure, and can Dbe accepted without equivocation. So_serious has the dust problem on public_highways become since the ad- vent of the motor cars, it is calling for immediate attention by the Ohio state highway department. Commissioner Marker has detailed a deputy to work out a solution. A. H. Hinkle, engineer in charge of the department of ma'n- tenance and repair, has labored hard and long on the proposition, and a billetin giving results of his experi- ments, together with recommendations, will be issued within two weeks. It will be distributed free. As the keeping of highways, streets and village roads clear of dust is a detail for local officials to look after, the stato department can only advise and recommend. The bulletin in prep- aration tells how various types of roads-may be kept ciear of dust with different treatments and at the small- est cost. __Every type of motor vehicle, includ- ing motorcycles, motorboats, ‘automo- biles and motortrucks, will be displayed on a large scale at the Panama-Pacific international exposition next year. The exhibit will undoubtedly be the most interesting in the history of the auto- moblle industry, and the manufacturers of the United States and Europe will be well represented. One point of es- Decial interest to those Interested in automobiles will be the fact that this will be the first time that American and foreign manufacturers have ax- hibited at the same place and the same time, Exports of automobiles from the United States in the fiscal year ended ord. “Their total, Including shipments BUILDING AND BUSINESS. Eteven New Companies, Incorporated n Connecticut During Last Week. The record of real estate transac- tions in"the larger towns in Connecti- cut reported in The Commercial Rec- ord for last week, show a slight in- crease over the like work of the year 1913, the number of sales being 298 this against 288 last year. For the e week the mortgage loans amounted to $821,946, as compared with §546,131 & year ago. The bankruptcy record is mot quite as favorable at the present time as for the third week of August in the previous years. The two_petitions in bankruptcy flled in this State durlng the week have assets of $7,974 and liabilities of $23,606, agalnst nominal assets and liabilities the former years. Papers have been filed with the Secretary of State incorporating 11 new companies during the week, with authorized capital stock of $269,000. The number is much greater than previous vears, and the capitalization is somewhat less than last year, but greater than in 1911 and 1912. Statistics of building _operations show an unusual total of permits granted in the cities of New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford, Waterbury, New Britain, Stamford, West Haven and Springfield, the ageregato cost of the buildings for which permits were granted being nearly a million dollars. 1t should be noted, however, that $600,- 000 of this sum is for the new city hall in Waterbury. Comparing the four larger Connecticut cities, it is showh that the number of permits granted for the week in these places is 5, against 76 last year and 79 in 1912. The cost of the buildings for which these permits were issued 1is $869,300 for the present year, $15: 365, for 1913 and $302,035 for 1912. Among the projects for which con- tracts have been given out during the week, are, schools In Derby, Hartford and Meriden, bank building in New Haven, theater in New Britain, res- idences in New Haven and Meriden. addition to business block in Haven, and coal pocket and business block In the safhe city. A number of one, two and three-family houses have been let this week in New Ha- ven, Bridgeport, Hartford, New Brit- ain, Stratford, Ansonia, Derby and Shelton.
