Aus27""SeptlO â€"The World‘s Greatest Annual Spectacle From Cochrane to North Toronto in 17 hours and 48 minutes was the reâ€" cord made ‘by the first ear over the entire Ferguson highway. The time stamped by the railway agents showâ€" ea 17 hours and 58 minutes but the actual time was 17 hours and 46 minâ€" utes. The reason for the difference is that at North Toronto the agent took two minutes worrying whether he would sign the document or not, and at Cochrane the time table was stampâ€" ed by the agent and then it was disâ€" covered that the sign for the front of the car had been left at the garage and 8 minutes were lost going back for it. As the exact distance was 499.9 miles, this given an average speed of 28 miles an hour. Fritz Anson drove the ear all the way and it was a nonâ€"stop run. Only three stops were made, sufficiently long for gasoline and to send teleâ€" grams. It was a big strain on anry driver but Fritz came through it in great shape and was ready for the road again next day. Last week The Advance had exâ€" tended reference to the first motor trip to be made over the Ferguson higshway from Cochrane to Toronto. A more detailed account is given by Mr. Alee Dewar, who was one of those making the trip. (Mr. Dewar, who is editor of The Broke Hustler at Iroquois Fallsy writes as follows in regard to the memorable trip:â€" The others in the car were: A. V. Waters, M.L.A., Cochrane North, A. F. Kenning, M.L.A., Cochrane South, H. D. Duff, resident engineer of Cochrane for the Northern Development Branch and Alee Dewar, chairman of the cenâ€" tral committee in charge of the Northâ€" ern Crusade to Toronto, September 6 and 7. Average Speed of Twentyâ€"eight Miles an Hour Was Made on Trip. Mr. Alec Dewar Gives Interesting Account of the Noteworthy Motor Trip Over the Ferguson Highâ€" way. Road is Good The object of the trip was to disâ€" pose of any doubt as to the condition of the road. The road is in splendid shape from Cochrane clear through to Toronto. The only difficulty experiâ€" enced was in the stretch south of Raâ€" more to near Swastika. Here part of Details of the Motor Trip From Cochrane to Toronto | P.O.

Arrange to come. the road had not been touched and the car went through on a bush trail which had been eut for the punrpose. Another part of the road just below this was sand which had not been gravelled or clayed, and considerable time was lost in this. On the road itself it wasn‘t such bad going but where the sand had been dug up for culverts it was very soft and the car had to ibe pushed through, a gang of the road men putting their shoulders to it. Just below this again came the worst stretch of the road. On a piece of muskeg which had been graded to a certain extent, but not gravelled, and a lot of time was lost getting the car over that 100 yards.

A Great Schedule Before leaving Mr. Anson drew up a schedule of estimated mileage and estimated times of arrival at the difâ€" ferent towns and, villages. _ As the road had not been located this was rather a difficult proposition and the accompanying table will show that at some points where the road diverged from the railroad there was an error of caleulation in the mileage, however, the schedule and the table were a fine piece of work as he was only out 3.01 miles in distance and 2 minutes in time. One on Fred Kenning The journey was uneventful except for a couple of small incidents just after leaving Cochrane A skunkâ€"crossâ€" ed the road in front of the car and escaped with his life by inches, much to the pleasure of the occupants of the car. The next incident was the piece of road which was not finished and the next incident happened just before coming into Toronto.

A Wonderful Route The highway itself is a wonderful route especially that part of it beâ€" tween Latchford and North Bay. For 80 miles the road winds through a beautiful stand of timber a good deal of splendid white pine showing among the other trees. Small lakes, hills and valleys make it a wonderful scenic route an worth any one‘s while to see. It is so ‘beautiful that it is a shame to speed through it.

The scene was enacted at Monday evening‘s banquet to visiting swimmers. The boy, Keith MeCullough, when called to the front to receive his medal, politely but reâ€" solutely informed the donors that anâ€" other boy, and not himself, was deâ€" serving of the prize, and the correceâ€" tion was promptly made. The inciâ€" cent brought forth the jocular remark from the chairman that, apparently, swimmers, too, were honest. He might well have added a few serious complimentary words, but they were unnecessary. The gathering of over one hundred athletes, among them the most prominent swimmers and divers in the province, immediately grasped the situation and warmly applauded the boy‘s action, one which not only the youth of ithe ‘community, but zrownâ€"ups, too, might well emulate.
