MANAGER BRYsON HAS PERFECT@
ED ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE
RACE.
THERE WILL BE MANY
VISITING AUT0ISTS.
RAILROADS HAVE NOT BEEN
HEARD FROM AS TO RATES.

If Proper Rates Can BE Secured Is
Is Believed That Several ThOus-
and People VIII Come to Smvan-
nah to See the Races-Mr. BrysOn
Is Receiving Inquiries Daily Fr0na
All sectiOns-Graham VIII Reach
Savannah Wednesday with Three
Fast Machines.
Manager Il. A. Bryson has made
final arrangements for the coming Of
Barney Oldfleld and Charles Graham.
the two famous chaffeurs who will race
here for the worlds championship ON
an out-of-door circular track on Feb
IL.
Oldfield and Graham will reach Sa>
Vannah some time during the latter
part of the week, and will at once go
to the Savannah track and try Qua
their famous racers. Oldfeld and
Graham have been doing very little ae
Ormond Beach, as they are in the pros
fessional class, and have had little
chance to enter any of the events.
In his trial to break the worlds recS
ord for ten miles at the beach races
yesterday oldheld failed. but he an
nounced that his machine was runs
ming badly. They will be put in thor
ough repair when they arrive at Sa,-
Vannah, and unless the two racers
cover the five miles distance in less
than five minutes it will be called no
race.
Q Great Interest Everywhere.
Unusual interest is being manifested
all over the state in the coming con-
test. Inquiries are being received here
by the hundreds from people wanting
to know what the railroad rates are
going to be. Mr. Bryson has asked the
roads to grant the lowest rate possible,
and the Chamber of Commerce has also
taken the matter up. The races will
be the cause of thousands of visitors
coming to the city if cheap rates are
given by the roads.
In a letter received from Tom Cooper
yesterday, it was announced that at
least twenty-five of the autoists now at
Ormond would stop over on their way
back to the North to see the contest
pelWeen GTdnunl ana Oluuelus
Graham is expected to arrive here
Wednesday. He will bring three ma
chimes with him, and Oldfeld will have
four. The machines that will be used
in the race are of the Winton racing
variety. Oldfield will drive the fa-
nous horsepower machine with
eight cylinders. and Graham will drive
a machine of similar pattern, but oh
lighter build, and of only S0-horse-
power.
The machines that Oldfield has been
using at ormond Beach are not tuned
up properly, and as there are no facil-
tiles there for putting them in proper
shape, he will have to wait until he
comes to Savannah before they can be-
put in perfect shape.
MIR. BrysOn Enthusiastic.
Mr.. Bryson, who is responsible for
getting these two famous chaffeurs to
come to Savannah, said last night that
he had no idea there was so much en-
thusiasm over the races. 81 have re-
ceived letters from all over the state,
said Mr.. Bryson, land / believe this Is
going to be one of the biggest things
of the kind ever pulled off in Savan-
nah.
81 wouldn't be at all surprised to seq
two or three thousand visitors here to
witness the contest, as we are sending
out advertising matter in all Of the
nearby sections"

to gentlemen amateurs only, Mr.. Van
derbilt again smashed all previous rec

day, Barney Oldfeld tried ten miles
against time, but did not lower the
record.
There was a fiuke in the ten-mile
free for all race, the timing apparatus
getting out of order at the start. VAN

starters, and they finished in that or
der.

In this race e. NJ. Ehrlich was thrown
from his machine and lay unconscious
Fortunately his injuries consist of a
dislocated shoulder and scalp wounds
which will not prove fatal.
The time for this. the twenty-mile
handicap race. was as follows:
Bowden, 1910: Stevens. 1s:5O1s;
Christie, 23:19: Stanley 29:16 rs. Ehr-
Itch upset. Laroche started but his
machine would not speed. and he re-
turned before covering a mile.
Bowden and Stevens, in their 60
horsepower machines. came together
at scratch again in the ten-nile handi-
cap. In this the tables were turned,
Stevens winning in 1928 AS, against
1888 LIS by Bowden. Hugh Willoughby,
in an autocar. made the distance in
1885 1-5. Laroche was left at the post
on account of his engine working badly.
Programme Closed.
To-day's programme practically
closed this years automobile tourna-
ment, but for the next few days there
will be attempts on the part of own
ers of the speedy machines to lower
worlds records. Every automo-
bilist here proclaims the Ormond-Day-
tona beach course the best and fast
est in the world. The success of next
year meet Is dlIedUy assured. EOI-
eigners here, especially the French
representatives, will construct racers
for this course for worlds records
The numerous prizes will be distribut-
ed to the winners this evening in the
rotunda of the Hotel Ormond. Mr.
Vanderbilt will take away the bulk of
them.
Will Try for Records.
Nearly all of the Automobiles viii
remain here for next week, to take part
in the trials for new records.
The statement circulated that the flu
ture Florida East Coast annual tourn-
ment would be conducted by another
body is entirely wrong, said Secre-
tary John B. Parkinson of the above
association.
"Why should we do such a thing"
said Mr.. Parkinson. 1--WE originated
the races, and they have attracted
worldwide attention, and our prizes
have been the best ever given. We
have over $4,000 worth of prizes al
ready subscribed for our 1905 tourna-
ment, and money in our treasury and
our association is flourishing."

Ormond, Fla, Jan. SO.-Fifty miles,
with four turns in 40 minutes 49 AS
seconds was the record made in the
Ormond-Daytona beach course to-day
by w. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., in his 80
horse-pow machine. The event was
for the American Automobile Associ-
alton championship at that distance,
open to all.
The pace figures out 1874 miles an
hour, the best record ever made in
America and almost as good as any
straightaway record for that distance
in the world.
In this long race Mr.. Vanderbilt
managed his machine admirably. In
the four turns, necessitated by using
the ten-mile course, he displayed great
skill and daring, making the turn. On
completing the twenty miles his ma
chine left it's tire marks just 4 feet
8 inches from the stake, going at a
good speed. His record for every ten
miles of the fifty was the best, that of
H. C. Bowden. in his 60-horse-power,
being second. These two records break
