SECOND YEAR - 1905

The FLORIDA AUTO ANNUAL

Published annually in connection with the Ormond-Daytona Beach Meet, by Foster & Reynolds.

THE ORMOND-DAYTONA MEETS.

WHEN automobilists would lower speed records, tehy come to the Ormond-Daytona Beach, to the mid-winter meets of the Florida East Coast Automobile Association. The wonderful speedway is a stretch of beach 300 feet wide at low water, level, smooth, almost as hard as asphalt, and extending twenty miles without turn, break or obstruction. Here the driver has before him an open course, which is absolutely safe, and is unmatched for straightaway driving. The Ormond-Daytona course is the fastest in the world. Its auto record is 30 seconds, and that is the world's record. It is this speed develping quality which gives the course international fame, and makes it the Mecca of automobile speed enthusiats the world over. The Florida mid-winter meeting is the most important event in the automobile year. The initial meet, held in 1903, through largely impromtu, resulted in the lowering of automobile and motor-cycle speed records. The performances demonstrated the extraordinary qualities of the course, and attracted attention of automobilists everywhere. The second meet, held in 1904, was participated in by a large number of the best known amateurs, and resulted in the making of sensational recors, among them those by Mr. W.K. Vanderbilt, Jr., whose record mile was run in 39 seconds; ten miles in 6.50, or the rate of 41 seconds to the mile; and 50 miles in 40.49 405, over a ten-mile course. These figures represent to date the utmost achievement of man and machine; but are likely to be surpassed on the same marvelous beach course. After making his run of a mile in 39 seconds last- [Break]

[Continued] year. Mr. Vanderbilt declared that faster time yet was possible. It is believed that the driver who carries off the Dewar cup in the one-mile championship event this year will have to lower Mr. Vanderbilt's world-famous figures.

The annual internationl automobile race meets on the Ormond-Daytona Beach are held under auspices of the Florida East Coast Automobile Association. The Assocaiation was organized, and is conducted solely for the promotion of the sport, and is maintained by the dues of members and the entre fees paid by the competing sportsmen.

The record trials are open to the world, and thus the meet has an international character. Foreign countries are represented, both among the patrons and the contestants. Sir Thomas Dewar, of London, has presented a $2,000 challenge cup for the international one-mile championship, and will personally attend the meet and act as one of the officials.

The Association owes much to the services of Mr. C. G. Burgoyne, of Daytona, who, during his term as president, as indefatigable in his efforts to make the club a success, and contirbuted liberally of his means, time and strength to assure that end. The $1,000 silver cup, given in event No. 6 as the Floirda East Coast Automobile Association Cup, was presented to the Association by him. When last December Mr. Burgoyne was compelled to resign his office, solely on account of his health, he was succeeded by Mr. Edward M. Steck, the well-known auto anthusiast of Philadelphia, who has a winter home in Daytona. [Break]

[Continued] President Steck's ambition is to make florida the winter automobile playground of the world. He is himself the owner of a fine Mors touring car, and has entered his 80 horse-power Darracq for this year's races.

Secretary John B. Parkinson, of Daytona, has been the executive agent on whose shoulders have rested the hard work and the responsibility; and the success fo the Association meets has been largely promoted by his energy and devotion to the work.

During the past summer the Association has erected a most attractive and commodious club house on the beach, direcrtly opposite the half-way post of twnty-mile course. It displays the figures of 39 of Mr. Vanderbilt's auto run. By a singular coincidence a Daytona house, which President Steck has devoted to the use of an auxiliary club house during the meet, is numbered 39 Ridgewood Avenue. The club has a membership of two hundred, and among them many prominent and well-known people: W.K. Vanderbilt, Jr., H.M. Flagler, Howard Gould, John Jacob Astor and many others.

The conditions of the beach for wheels this winter is magnificent, reports Secretary Parkinson; according to old residens, it never was better. Mr. Parkinson adds this interesting description of the peculiar composition which makes the Florida shore unique among the sea beaches of the world: "Its sand is composed largely of the shells of the coquina clan, or Donax, peculiar to this part of Florida. The shells are about one-half inch long and very thing. For ages nature has been rolling them up, washing them back into the surf and pulverizing them. Examinged under the microscope each particle is round, unfit for mortar, builders say, because its smoothness prevents it from holding together; yet, strange to contemplate, the very moment a wave leaves [break]

the wet, apparently soft beach, these round particles settle down into a cement almost as hard as asphalt, beyond the comprehension of one who has not seen it. Surely it must have been made for the automobile, for, regardless of weather conditions, there is no mud, no dust, tires are never heated owing to the moisture, and exploded tires are unknown. Here, too, the great dangers of road and track racing are entirely eliminated and man can never build a road as ahrd and smooth. Repairs are unnecessary,a s twice each twenty-four hours it is entirely rebuilt by the tides. Immense holes may be dug, but the next tide hides every trace. Being almost level and with an average rise and fall of only 2 feet 9 inches at extremely low tide, this ebach is from 300 to 500 feet wide and can be used from two hours after until two hours before high tide, thus giving an average of seven to eight hours for automobiling some part of each day."

The beach has always been famous, and the adaptation of the hard, smooth surface to wheels has furnished one of the chief attractions of Ormond. Before the day of the auto car, Ormond had its tally-ho, and Daytona its sand-flyer; and before these was the ox-cart of the Florida Cracker. Messrs. Anderson & Price, of the Hotel Ormond, who have been foremost in intelligent enterprise to develop and proclaim to the world the possibilities of the beach, are fond of assembling in an Ormond Beach round-up, the primitive ox-vehicle and the latest auto-flyer, as a contrast, illustrating the changes which have taken place.

The first autoist to prove the possibilities of Ormond was Mr. J.F. Hathaway, for many succesive eyars a winter visitor here. He is familarly called the [Break]

"The most noteworthy performance of the Eagle Rock Hill climb was the 1 minute 23 3-5 seconds record, the fifth best time, made by Webb Jay in a 15 H.P. White Steamer. This little American car, which is not a racing machine, but practically a stripped touring car, selling at $2,500.00, climbed the hill in only 3 3-5 seconds slower time than the big foreign cars, costing $16,000.00 and having four times its horsepower. - Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Nov. 25.

Three years before that, in 1900, Mr. Hathaway had brough to Florida one of the first motor cars ever seen in the State. He has many quaint stories to tell of the not altogether friendly reception he met among the natives.

The autombiling opportunities are by no means confined to the ebach. Driving has always been in favor at Ormond and Daytona, and much attention has been given to the making of good roads. The Ormond drives are famous for their excellence and attractiveness. They lead in many directions, passing through charming scenery, and reaching many interesting points. One penetrates dense tropical forest, leading to ancient stone ruins; another follows the river to a modern plantation, hospitably thrown open to inspection; a third takes us through hammock and pine woods to the Tomoka Cabin on the Tomoka River. A favorite route is south on the ocean beach to Daytona and return by the Halifax River road; or from Daytona one may soon go on to New Smyrna by the new hard shell road which for fiteen miles will closely follow the west bank of the river. the 35-mile round trip on the beach from the Inn [Break]

[Continued] to smyrna Inlet can easily be made in one hour on a motor cycle.* All these roads are adapted to the automobile, and every season funds upon them an increased number of machines. During the season of 1903-4, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Adriance, of Poughkeepsie, N.Y., ran their 1902 auto car over 1,200 miles on the roads about Ormond without one road repair.

Ormond is not alone in the possession of good roads. the streets and suburban drives of Jacksonville, New Smyrna, Orlando, De Land, Miami, Tampa, and other points are all good auto roads.

Mr. Flager's rock roads at Miami are a grand object lesson, and have given an impetus to the good roads movement, which has been taken up with much enthusiasm and is providing the East Coast country with a system of highways embodying the modern art of road building. Native material for roads is found in the coralline rock, which is soft and easily quarried, hardens upon exposure to air, and when crushed makes an admirable road metal. Another materials extensively used is the oyster shell, drawn in abundant supply form the shell mounds along the coast, and another is the white marl of Ormond and Daytona.

The roads alread y constructed, building and porjected, from links of the great highway which ahs been planned to extend from Jacksonville south 350 miles to Miami to connect those two cities and St. augustine, Ormond and daytona, New Smyrna, Rockledge, and West Palm Beach, with spurs to Deland and other points. This great highway will be a broad, hard-surfaced boulevard, adapted to modern vehicles.

The good roads movement now popular in the State, is promoted by the County Commissioners and Good Roads Association of Floirda. The Association covers Florida. Hundreds of miles of roads are plannedl; every mile means opportunities for automobilitis, both residents and tourists. The advent of the cruising launch and that of the touring automobile have opened the winter visitor and resident a new Florida, the resources and compensations of which are as yet hardly realized.

THE ORMOND-DAYTONA BEACH AUTO MEET OF 1903.

The first annual meet was held on the three days, March 26, 27 and 28, 1903, and resulted in the making of three new American records.

Mr. Alexander Winton drove his "Bullet" one mile in :52 1-5, which was within two fifths of a second of tying Henry Fournier's record of :51 4-5 on the Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, in 1901. In the competition for the East Coast trophy, he cut his own 10 mile track time from 10:50 (made at Brighton Beach in August, 1902) to 10:26 1-5, thereby establishing a 10-mile straightaway recrod for America. In another trial, on the same day, in which Mr. Winton made the mile in :52 2-5, he lowered the kilometer record to :32 4-5.

H.T. Thomas, in the Oldsmobile race "Pirate," weighing 825 pounds, made a new straightaway mile record for machines weighing less than 1,000 pounds. His time was 1:06 1.5, as against the 1:27 3-5 made by Jacques Lonquevez, on the Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn in 1901.

Oscar Hedstrom, on an Indian motor cycle, made the American straightaway mile record of 1:03 1-5, as against C.H. Metz's time, 1:10 2-5, made on the Staten Island Boulevard in May, 1902. He reached the kilometre in :39, and thus made a world's record.

A special race for Oldsmobile machines was won by Raymond Boothroyd, Newburgh, N.Y.; Dr. W. F. Robinson, New York, second; Dr. Bennett, Daytona, third. Time, 1:36.

J. F. Hathaway, of West Somerville, Mass., steamed a mile in 1:28 2-5. His vehicle was not of the racing kind, but this gives an idea of what the non-racing driver may enjoy in point of speed on this ideal course.

Winton engaged with Thomas in a mile race for the Ormond Challenge Cup, winning by a fifth of a second, as the start was very slow and the lighter "Pirate" got away more quickly than the heavier "Bullet." Time for winner, 1:15 1-5.

W.W. Austine defeated D.P. Merrill in a motor cycle race for the championship [sic] of Florida, the winner going a mile in 1:36.

In the Daytona Five-Mile Handicap the scratch man was Winton. Thomas had 50 seconds, Hedstrom took 1:05, Boothroyd was given 5:15, and Dr. Robinson's allowance was 6 minutes. Hedstrom won in the actual time of 5:37, which would have been a new record had the Mors instrument been fixed for the five miles, the timing being done for this event with stop watches and the figuring on the subtraction plan. Thomas ran second in the actual time of 6:05. Boothroyd, in 10:45, was third.

Long distance automobile racing really began in 1895, with the Paris-Bordeaux contest, says the New York Tribune. This was followed in 1896 by the race from Paris to Marseilles and return, by that from Paris to Amsterdam and back in 1898, and by the international cup race from Paris to Lyons in 1900, won by M. Charron.

It was not till 1904, however, that this kind of racing began to demand general attention, with the running of the second Paris-Bordeaux race, on May 29 of that year. This contest was held in connection with the international cup race. M. Fournier, with this 35 H.P., four-cylinder Mors car, was the winner, covering 329 3.4 miles in 6h. 11m. 44s. His average speed was 53 miles an hour, while at times he made as high as 62 miles. One month later Fournier won the Paris-Berlin race, making 750 miles in 16h. 6m. This time was averaged only 39 1/4 miles an hour, but the race over a much more difficult route.

The international cup race from Paris to Vienna on June 28, 1902, was won by S. F. Edge, an Englishman, with a 70 H.P. Napier. He made the distance, 618 kilometers in 10h. 42m., an average of 36.1 miles an hour.

The race that perhaps attracted most attention, both for the number of casualties and the speed developed, was the Paris-Madrid race, that started on may 24, 1903. Six persons killed and many others badly injured. Because of these accidents

The Motor Boat and Water Carnival.

The Palm Beach Power Boat Association of Palm Beach, will hold its first annual Motor Boat and Water Carnival February 1 to 4. Mr. Fred Sterry and Lieut. Willoughby have laid out the course and made arragnements for the success of the carnival. Mr. A.J. McIntosh, of the American Power Boat association, under whose rules and auspices the tournament will be held, has approved the four days' programme, which provides for boats of many different horse-power and also takes in some sailing boat classes.

What promises to be the great feature of the water carnival at Palm Beach will be the two aprades, one at night, illuminated, in which some score of electric launches will take place, a day parade. The lady guests of the big hotels and cottages will be invited to take part in the floral affair, and it is expected that the scene will present a picture that has seldom been equalled in the way of a water carnival.

28 THE FLORIDA AUTO ANNUAL.

Lieutenant Hugh L. Willoughby, who was in charge of the Rhode Island Naval for several years and who spends his winters on his houseboat in Florida waters, where he has other boats also, and who took charge of the famous Newport marine parade a few years ago, which was said to be the greatest water parade ever seen in the world, will superintend the Florida Affair, and that means that the parade will be an immense success.

32 [Picture of] The month of Miami River and Biscayne Bay.

BISCAYNE BAY offers many most delightful opportunities for winner cruising. It is a lagoon sheltered from the Atlantic by numerous keys and coral islands; it is forty miles in length and from five to ten miles wide, with a prevailing depth of from six to ten feet; the shores are lined with palms and mangroves, and a profusion and variety of tropical growth; the blue water is of remarkable clearness. These elements unite to make the bay one of the most beautiful cruising grounds in the world; and many yachts have their winter rendezvous here. On the west shore, at Cocoanut Grove, embowered amid cocoanuts and royal palms, is the club house of the Bay Biscayne Yacht Club. The crystal water reveals even to grat depths the wealth of vegetable and animal life everhwere present. This submarine life is a never-failing attrction; there are portions of Bay Biscayne which rival the far-fames sea gardens of Nassau.

Decauville

IMPORTED

"THAT DECAUVILLE CAR"

THE Decauville "steel pan" not only protects the entire mechanism from dust, mud, and flying gravel, but the shafting and bearings are always in absolute alignment, through the impossibility of wrenching the fram so as to impair its perfect-running- because the entire engine rests on a solid, flat, unwrenchable, metal bed- "that steel pan!" The construction of the Decauville Car is right!
