A MOTOR RACE.
NEW YORK TO PARIS. Received March 3, 8.56 a.m. NEW YORK, March 2. Snow and bad roads impede the New York to Paris motorists. They passed Chicago for San Francisco, where they will embark for Alaska. Following the successful PekinParis motor race, the "Matin" (Paris) announced in November the organisation for this year of an even greater race, the route to be round the world by land as far as is practicable. The entire route would lie through Boulogne, Folkestone, Liverpool, New York, Chicago, Klondyke, over the frozen expanse of the Behring Straits, and through the wildest northern wastes of Siberia to Irkutsk, Tomsk, Moscow, and Paris. The cars were to be shipped only twice, for the Channel and Atlantic crossings. The distance of the race is 20,000 miles.
