THE EVENING WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1908 LATEST REPORTS AND TIMELY COMMENT NEWS OF ALL BRANCHES OF SPORT ———— EDITED BY | [ROBERT EDOREN | STRANG SAYS NEW [FIRST PHOTOGRAPHIC VIEWS OF LONG ISLAND MOTOR PARK — AUTO PARKWAY IS IDEAL FOR RACING Driver of Winning Car in Many Big Events Writes Interesting Story of $1,000,000 Roadway Now Be- ing Built on Long Island. BY LOUIS STRANG, (Winner Briarcliff Cup Race.) HAVE just been over the auto course selected for the Vanderbilt Cup race on Oct. 24, the trip being made at the request of The Evening World, and as a result of my observations in an Aeme semisracing car driven at speed, | think that faster time will be made than in any Previous cup race. The Cup Committee in making {ts selection has picked out an ideal route over the Nassau County roads, which, aside from the finished sec: tlon of the Long Island Motor Parkway, which will be used, offers plenty of opportunity for a speed limit of 100 miles an hour, and both on the cement parkway and roads there are curves and turns which will afford an abundant test of nerve, skill and endurance in any of the drivers in ies coming great race. The entire circuit is about twenty-five miles, surveyors who lald out the route |speed.
