Text reads, in part: Looking Back 25 Years. ... Three days after the races the names of the winning car drivers were announced in the Outlook, when the prize money was paid to them. Durant was first and received $4000; Hearne, second, won $2500; Le Cocq, third, $1500, and Pullen, fourth, $1000. Durant's average speed was 81.88 miles an hour for the 250 miles of the course. That was considered, the paper said, a splendid record for the new course.
