The First London to Brighton Race

The Duryea in the Brighton Run

As there has been considerable controversy in the English motor press over the movements of the two Duryea wagons in the London-Brighton run, and their relative position at the finish, the editor sought an inteiview with Mr. J. Frank Duryea, who had charge of the leading vehicle, and asked him for an account of his part in the outing.

Mr. Duryea stated that they started near the last, but made better headway through the crowded London streits than the other vehicles, owing to the superior lightness and control oi their vehicle.

At Brixton, four miles from the Thames River, he began to push his wagon, until at Reigate, 22 milts out, he bad passed all the other vehicles. Here be halted, according to the official programme, took luncheon and waited for the other excursionists.

The several Bol lée Iricycles, which had left London before him, came up soon after and passed on immediately toward Brighton, one of them reaching that place before him.

After stopping for over an hour at Reigate Mr. Duryea continued on his journey, not, however, until the pilot carriage of President Lawson had led the way.

Rain came on almost immediately, rendering the going much heavier for him than it had been for the Bouées, who passed on eaily enough to escape it. As it was two of the Bollée machines came to grief, one being completely knocked out, and the other being towed into Brighton by horse-power. Both the Duryea wagons reached Brighton, the second being somewhat retarded as compared with the first, by the fact that its passenger was a man weighing about 250 pounds.

Mr. Duryea speaks enthusiastically of English roads. He says he could as easily make 20 to 25 miles an hour there as 15 there.

He saw nothing during his stay abroad which he believes to be the equal of their latest wagon in speed, control and general utility.

The Duryea Company now has four wagons in England.

The Duryea's Representative Flings Down the Gauntlet.

The promoter of the Duryea patents in England is so well assured that the wagon he represents is able to cope with any the Motor Car Club may be exploiting that he has sent a challenge to the secretary of the club, offering to pit the Duiyea wagon against any vehicle the club may control, in a contest between London and Glasgow and return, the decision to be rendered not on speed, but on grounds of general utility in road service.

Stakes of £5,000 were to be posted by each side, the whole to go to the winner. Up to the present, according to the best information, the challenge has not been accepted
