SPURRED RESTA TO VICTORY

There is a story connected with Dario Resta’s brilliant record-smash-ing victory in Chicago’s first 500-mile International auto derby. Even happier than Dario himself, who was rewarded with the handsome sum of $23,000 for his efforts, was Mrs. Resta, who was glad to see her husband come home the victor in the contest. Her joy was increased by the fact that her husband finished without any injury to himself. The speed king admits that his wife was really the goal that spurred him on to victory. Mr. and Mrs. Resta were married shortly after the last Vanderbilt cup races, in which Resta landed first honors.
