first I was assigned to it. and could
see visious of a "stick-up" in the first
muddy lane we eame to. but I want to
go on record as saying I have chang-
ed my mind. Ten miles out of Min-

which there was several feet of wate
Skeet hit the water under full head-
way and the little car ploughed its
way almost across before th? engine
went dead which of course it must

bank We got out of the machine and
pushed It to the edge of the water and

either bucking 'water from three to
four feet deep or else going througn

the race driver who is steering the
big Jackson over' the run. and who
says he will reach Fort Worth this
afternoon ahead of all the cars step-
ped up and said: " r hear there are
some of you Brownwood people going
to Fort Worth to see Skeet come in
and I want to drop you a tip. and that
is that you will have to leave mighty
soon to reach Fort Worth in time to
see "Our Sketer" come a buzzin into
the Panther City. He is as daring as
any of them and handles his car with
all ease. I don't believe there is an-
other car on the market that is the
equal of the Auburn as a roadster and
by George I want to tell you that you
have got to slip ft to the driver for
Skeet gets the best there is out of the
car."
The Auburn car is sold by the Hall
Machinery Company and the one In
the endurance contest Is an exact pat-
tern of the car owned by Dr. L. P. Alli-
son. It has a speed rate of 45 miles
an hour -and goes over all kinds of
roads. The Hall Machinery company
naturally feels proud of the way the
little roadster performed and hopes
it will come out with colors flying at
the end of the race for if talk counts
