  • 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 everyone a great deal of pleasure.

    It was very different from modern car races but no less exciting
