"By special arrangement with the committee of the Automobile Club of America, we were given preferred positions at three different points on the course during the automobile race for the Vanderbilt Cup. A most exciting picture throughout, showing the most dramatic features of the event. As a picture it is much more interesting than any automobile race that has ever been made, as apparently no effort was made to keep the great crowds off the road, and as each car comes along the spectators press back on either side, forming a narrow lane through which the machines race at a speed of seventy miles an hour. In looking at these pictures it seems a miracle that more people were not injured"--Biograph summary from AFI catalog: film beginnings, 1893-1910.
