The picture shows us two distinct races going over the same course, one is the competition for light runabouts, and the other for heavy racers. The first picture shows the men getting ready for the struggle, and starting away amidst the cheers of the excited throng. In each race we see the cars from the same points and get a clear view of the road from an elevation, and see them dashing along at a terrific rate of speed. We get a view at close range of one of the machines as it dashes around a curve, and turns turtle, rolling over many times, killing the driver and injuring the assistant. The next picture shows a point on the course where there are two curves within a short distance of one another, and the spectators are held spellbound as the cars reach this point and round them at a terrific speed. A few go amiss, however, and we see them turn completely around and topple over. Another point of interest is at a very sharp curve, similar to the hairpin curve on the Vanderbilt course, which is enclosed by a high fence to keep the spectators back. The cars dash around it at full speed and a number make it without a mishap, but we see a few who lose control of their cars, skid around and dash through the fence, upsetting, and causing no end of excitement. The last picture shows the finish and we get a view at close range of the winners and their cars, and see their happy faces as they receive the beautiful and well deserved trophies.
