Once a year a race is held for old cars. A

lot of cars entered for this race last year

and there was a great deal of excitement

just before it began. One of the most

handsome cars was a Rolls-Royce Silver

Ghost. The most unusual car was a Benz

which had only three wheels. Built in

1885, it was the oldest car taking part.

After a great many loud explosions, the

race began. Many of the cars broke down

on the course and some drivers spent

more time under their cars than in them !

A few cars, however, completed the race.

The winning car reached a speed of forty

miles an hour--much faster than any of

its rivals. It sped downhill at the end of

the race and its driver had a lot of trouble trying to stop it. The race gave every-

one a great deal of pleasure. It was very different from modern car races but no

less exciting.

how fast did the winning car go?
