...still recognizable by his cigar, Barney Oldfield last week engaged in his first race in 16 years, an absurd "Jinx Derby" to advertise the Chrysler exhibit at Chicago's Century of Progress, where Oldfield heads a staff of 20 exhibition drivers. Oldest car in the race was an 1896 Tallyho made by the Chicago Vehicle Co., which had not been moved for 34 years.

An escorting horseman let his mount sidle into one of the coach's four horses. The coach horses reared, swerved. The tallyho tipped sharply, on two wheels. Nominee Smith and friends clutched their seats. Driver Charles Die reined the horses, straightened the coach. No one was hurt...
...Committee of Experts is led by the strong, silent English financier-statesman, Reginald McKenna. Tallyho, sounded the horn, and Reginald, master of the hounds, galloped away with the pack to hunt the wily mark.
