III GLIDDEN TOUR Local Man Traveling With Premier Touring Car Number Two. REPORTS VERY BAD ROADS MACHINE IN WHICH HE IS A PASSENGER ONE OF VERY FEW WHICH MADE PERFECT SCORE UP TO THIS TIME. Elmer McConaha of this city is a passenger in Premier touring car No. 2, entered in the Glidden tour endurance contest from Detroit to Denver and back to Kansas City. In writing to friends in this city from Denver, Mr. McConaha stated that the car was one of the few entering Denver with a perfect score and that he and others in the party, making the journey in this car, Including Harry Hammond of Indianapolis and H. O. Smith, president of the automobile works, were hopeful of continuing the journey from Denver to Kansas City without mishap. Scoring la Close. Owing to the mud holes and sand roads, the run this year probably is the severest test ever made on the automobiles entering this contest. A trip of 100 miles on roads such as the party has just passed over, according to Mr. McConaha, is equal to' a 250 mile trip in this state. During the run, the machine has been dependent on its own power and that it has made such an excellent showing on such bad roads is regarded as a good showing for Its stability. The scoring is very close and a fraction of one per cent is taken off the score even if a bolt is tightened during the trip. In fact about the only repairs permissible, without detracting from the total score, is the mending of the tires. Mr. McConaha started on the journey in the press car, a position in which he obtained through the Influence of an Indianapolis newspaper man. Afterwards, however, he was invited by Mr, Hammond who is a close friend and also Mr. Smith to complete the trip in the Premier car.
