Opens ' Next Tuesday for Three ' and Two-Year-Olds. London, May 3.--The big spring handicaps which furnish the chief in- terest In the first six weeks of the flat racing season have all been de- +elded for this year and, with the . spring meeting at Newmarket which | opens on Tuesday next, racing takes on a more serious aspect for the owners of the three-year-olds and the two-year-olds. Two of the five classics for three- _ year-olds which have had so great an effect on the English turf will be run at Turf Headquarters next week, P.C, .643 .643 671 .500 «429 S417 ALT «367 Pagano PC. .769 .636 *.600 «545 .462 .45%5 .333 .182 Sesser secssnns P.C. .833 © 825 .571 467 «462 «400 iH .222 sssenan Ssssssne sesrsansne the Two Thousand Guineas for en- tire colts and fillies, foaled in 1921, belag held on Wednestlay, with the One Thousand Guineas for three- year-old fillies alone on Friday. For ~u wo 'Thousand Guineas nomina- - tong for 216 had been received when - the entries closed on Oct. 31st, 1922, 'while the "ladies'" classic had" 203 entries. The Two Thousand Guineas was established in 1809, five years earlier than the One Thousand, which is the 'youngest of the classics. They are 'both rul over the Rowley Mile, whi § so called from the fact of its ~ having a favorite race ground + with Charles II. Although second to the Derby in popularity, the Two Thousand 'and One Thousand have the distinction of never having been interrupted as has been the case with the Epsom Derby and Oaks or the Doncaster St. Leger. During the Great War when racing throughout the Empire was curtailed, it was con- tinued at Newmarket, while substi- tute races for the Epsom and Don- caster classics were also run at Turf headquarters. In the unsettled con- ditions following the war, with the coal miners and railway strikes, Newmarket carried on--under difi- culties--but the continuity of the big races was unbroken. The names of tne two classics to be run next week are not a true in- dication of their value to the owner of the winner, Originally two thou- sand guineas--about $10,000--and one thousand guineas were the values of the races, but now, wih the stakes of 100 sovereigns, the value of the "Two Thousand is approxi- mately $10,000, while the One Thousand last year was worth $8,- 100. Although the monetary considera- tion is large, the honor of being en- rolled on the Turf's Hall of Fame as the owner, breeder, trainer or rider of a classic winner is even more valued by the true sportsman. To be the Owner of a winner of the mythical "triple crown"--the Two Thousand Guineas, the Derby, and the Doncaster St. Leger--ig the apex of the hopes of the patrons of racing. The difficulty of realizing this am- bition is shown by the facy that in only 13 years in the past century has there been such an outstanding three-year-old. TILDEN NEEDED.

All the noise about Oshawa Ama- teur Athletic Association not going co function the coming season was given the soft pedal at the annual meeting held Tuesday evening after hearing the address of President W. E. Clarke, which gave a review of all the different sporting organiza- tions of 1923, in which he laid stress on what the Association had accom- plished in fostering junior sports in the city of Oshawa. The treasurer's |report showed a healthy balance on hand of $489.21, after heavy ex- pehseg in connection with the ad- tions. President W. E. Clarke and Sec- {retary George W. Hezzelwood both asked to be relieved from their of- icial duties as their business would not allow of the time necessary to look after the association's affairs as they considered suéh should be, {but assured the members present that their interest would be not the less. The following officers were elect- ed to carry on the association for the year 1924: Past President--W. E. Clarke. President--Alderman, Ed.

A permanent secretary and three directors, persons who have no con- nection, with any particular life of sport, will be selected by the offiters chosen at the annual meeting. It was decided to _hold a semi- annual meeting of the association in September of -each year, and the annual meeting, at which the elec- tion of officers will take place, to be held in March or April at the call of thé executive.

The Frenchman was guaranteed $70,000 or a twenty-five per cent. option of the gate, according to Cur- ley.

United States [government figures have been compiled placing the auto- motive industry ahead of all rivals on the basis of dollar value of its products. In Canada the manufac- ture of automobiles and .units con- nected therewith has become one of the principal industries. To illustrate, consider the pur- chase of a Ford car. It involves the production of raw material and the sale of the product to its user. In a brief glance one sees raw material, in the form of steel, other metals, textiles, rubber, paints, chemicals and sundries being sought for in do- mestic and foreign markets, then transported by steamship, train 'and automobile under the direction of the engineer, scientist, mechanic and laborer, to be evolved into éalable product. Then it must be marketed under the direction of sales officials, sales- men and dealers--the selling process furnishing occupation for office staffs, giving business to newspapers, magazines, advertising agencies and printers. * 7 Yet.a further step, and the acces- sory manufacturer, distributor and salesmay obtain their livelihood. Further along the line comes the re- pair garage which is again linked to the tire manufacturer, the tool manufacturer and the ofl producer and refiner. There are other steps in the journey, and each involves employment of labor and money. "A Toronto despatch gives the Canadian 1938 automobile produce tion as valued at' $96,260,000. Dur- ing 1923 in the United States the automotive industry, its products ex- ceeding $4,500,000,600 in wholesale value, still further strengthen its position as the country's leading in- dustry. This is the summing up of one of the United States automobile authorities which further states: It has become the biggest customer of the machine tool, rubber, plate glass, aluminum, petroleum and upholstery leather industries. Jt is one of the biggest customers of the steel, cop- per, lumber, paint and varnish, car- | pet, hardware, nut and bolt and a host of other industries. Merely to consider that in its construction a single motor ear requires an average of 500 bolts and nuts--to use one | example--is to gain at least a part- abe =. fal idea of its size as a market not only for the -parts, supplies and | equipment entering into r ve- hicle construetion," but also the machine tools and gemeral factory uired for its large and The Canadian automotive industry is showing .immense developments. the past year the Ford Motor Ont, and a new as- \ During sembly branch was built at Toronto and there were several other com- panies who made extensions.

FOR ASSISTING AND GUIDING MOTORISTS Otiawa, May 1:"A report for the | purpose of assisting and guiding: motorists in the purchase of gasoline and lubricating oils has been fssued by the Canadian Engineering Stand, ards Association. . Automotive engineers, according to the report, estimate that at least 10 per cent. of the power developed in a gasoline engine is employed in overcoming friction which exists in the engine, transmission and dif- ferential gear. There are four és- sential properties fof automotive lubricant: - (1) It must be capable of reach- ing freely every friction point. (2) It must remain flaid in cold weather and be able to withstand) heat without burning or thinning. (3) It must be able to resist being squeezed out from between moving parts.' "~ (4) It must possess low internal frictional qualities. The report states that over 50 per cent. of all automobile engine repairs are rendered necessary by incorrect lubrication, The low quality ofls are poor economy and the motorist should follow the gpecifi¢ recom- mendations for the lubrication of various makes and . models of cars suggested by the leadfng oil com- panies.| Such recommendations are based on expert professional advice and actual experiment. In regard to gasoline, the report points out that "unfortunately thers is no one simple test which can be conveniently applied by users to de. termine the quality of gasoline." The only known positive test is the "distillation" method which can only be carried on under laboratory con- ditions. Hb 'While + gasoline consumption is' fourteen times greater than in 1911, the world's crude oil production is only two and a half times that of" 1911. 'The improvements in engine and carburetter design have render- ed it possible to use gasoline of less votility but ba 4 heat value. The pioblem has been to ob tain larger gasoline from the world's supply of crude ofl
