Ready for Contests
When the automobile hill climbing
contest opens tomorrow at l p. m. in
this city the visiting auto drivers will
find the course from Villa street north
to the foot of the mountains in as per
feet condition as it is possible to make
it. All day today the steam roller has
been moving over the roads and as the
rains of last night did no damage what
ever the surface is as smooth and as
hard as a floor. Chief of Police Pink
ham has arranged to have twenty-five
regular and special officers along the
course and at the crossings and nothing
will be allowed to interrupt or dis
turb the races. 1t is reported that at
least forty contestants are entered and
among them many of the biggest and
speediest of the Pasadena cars. Price
Mckinney, who is a guest at the Hotel
Green and whose 80 horse power Mer-
cedes has attracted much attention,
stated this afternoon that he has de-
cided not to enter the contests for the
reason that it would not be fair to
the others as there is nothing in this
section which is exactly in 1t with
his big and powerful machine. There
is a bare possibility, however, that the
owner may be prevailed upon to run
his car over the course simply as an
exhibition of it's powers. 1t is planned
to begin the races promptly at p. IN
and should the day be fine there is sure
to be a great outpouring of people to
witness the novel events. The start
of the three-mile course will be made
on Los Robes avenue at Villa street
and the finish will be just south o1
Marathon road, the contestants follow
ing Los Robes avenue, Woodbury. roao
and Santa Rosa avenue. The beauti-
full cups offered by Pasadena and Alta
dena citizens have been on exhibition
today in window on Colorado street.
