WINNER Of A GREAT AUTO RACE.
Henri Fournier the winner of the automobile race from Paris to Berlin, has long been known on the continent as the king of automobillsts. He first used a petroleum tricycle for his road work. With a machine of IV4 horsepower he made an average of more
than forty miles an hour at a time when automobiles were the merest novelties. Thus It will be seen that he was no new hand In the big race which has just been won at Berlin.. Fournier is a veritable spectacle oh his machine. He flies along with bulging eyes
cast groundward, hair streaming In the wind, and his motor puffing like mad under him. Ho Is so accustomed to these hazardous trips that he Is perfectly cool while traveling over a country road at express train speed. A second race may be run.
