[[?]]an mounted on a motor [[?]] persons who attempted to cross in front of the vehicle, which moved at a speed slightly faster than that of an ordinary horse when trotting. Back to Broadway from West End avenue came the revolving blades, behind which on the framework sat the smiling physician.
Then a graceful turn was made up Broadway to Seventy-third street, then down to Seventy-first street and back to his residence. The demonstration ended there, when Policeman Brady interfered.
"Perfectly successful," said Dr. Thomas after Mrs. Thomas had come out of the house to congratulate her husband. "You see, I have a new brake now; so I can stop instantly. Now I will take it out into New Jersey, where I can run it at top speed."
Dr. Thomas has taken out motor vehicle licenses both in New York and New Jersey to operate the wind wagon.
