1069 MILES WITHOUT A STOP IN A HUPMOBILE.

This remarkable record was recently made by Mr. fl. P. Mieb-aol, Dayton, Ohio.- After driving 550 miles, remain* ing at the wheel continually for 26 hours atld 10 minute.?, Mr. Michael was relieved by his brother, Paul B. Michael, who drove 220 miles. H. P. Michael then took the wheel and completed the 1089 miles. Not even tho car was stopped in this distance, ail fuel being taken on while in motion. Tho route to and from Dayton included Toledo, .lamestown, Cincinnati, Eaton, and London.. The test was completed between Columbus and Dayton. The average consumption of gasoline, was a gallon every 21 mite, and the -averago speed was 21.3S miles per hour. Mr. Michael's report, is sworn- to by officials in the car. The car that will stand a test like this is sorely worthy of tho high reputation which the Hupmobile hasmade for itself.
