members of the party registered swung
the bright folds of the stars and
Stripes and a small pennant Of the Au-

An elaborate bill of fare has been
prepared for dinner tonight and the
tables are graced with rich, fragrant
bouquets of carnations from Coronado.
A creditable fireworks display was
made from the top of Rubidoux noun
tain at 10 o'clock tonight. This feature
was in charge of the Los Angeles Fire
works company.
Placed In Garage
After the days scores were taken IL
was found that resting quietly behind
padlocked gates in the endurance run
garage were one hundred and nine au-
tomobiles awaiting the dawn which is
to send them painting over the second
days course around the kite.
successful beyond expectation of the
most optimistic proved the initial
stages of the greatest automobile event
attempted since the inception of the
sport. Not one accident marred the
pleasure in which nearly five hundred
Angelenos participated.
Give Information
hesitancy as to the exact road and
volumes of information were forth
coming. At some points whole viii
lagos assembled to cheer the passing
motorists. and as a pleasing spectacle
of good fellowship the passage of the
cars gave a remarkable insight as to
the progress which the horseess ma
chine has made during the past few
years.
What might have terminated seri-
ously occurred when w. K. Cowan's
big Rambler touring car driven by p.
A. Renton, swerved from the road
which leads from Redlands, as the
driver prepared to make a turn.
The steering gear went wrong as
the heavy car struck a bad chuck hole
and the machine whirled to the side
of the path. 1t was impossible to con-
tinue. and late last night the derelict
Rambler had not arrived at Riverside.
AS they stood helpless by the side
of their fallen car the Rambler pas
acted as lookouts and warned
parties of the danger.
In addition to the Rambler, Buick,
No. 20, belonging to the Western Mo-
tor Car company, went astray. The
Buick machinery became disarranged.
and after vain attempts to right the
car cross roads were resorted to and
the auto was disqualified after reach
ing Riverside.
With the exception of these cars
every machine arrived here before 6
o'clock without having experienced a
beyond punctures or loss of
gasoline.
The surprising feature of the first
days run is the fact that a great ma
jority of the observers report perfect
scores for the long run. The REQ was
unfortunate and suffered
more penalties than any one make of
machine which participated in the run.
Leo T. Shelter, the pathfinder who
started in the van. was penalized "a
points upon his arrival here Several
other Reos were discovered in trouble
during the day by on-rushing cars
which whizzed by. The Stoddard-
Dayton, driven by Harry Olive, with
John T. Bill and party, performed per-
fectly and reached here with clear
score.
The big four-cylinder 45-horsepower
Acme, received yesterday by Fred
Bennett from the factory, created
of a sensation as it whizzed
up to the Glenwood with eight pas
sengers, rejoicing in the consciousness
Of a clean score. The machine proved
a consistent roadster and made one
Of the fastest trips of the day.
A Tourist, No. %, driven by ]. e.
Hatch, behaved splendidly throughout
the run and whirled over the hills in
clever fashion. The speed was of an
even tenor during nearly every stage
of the run and the endurance of the
machine was demonstrated in a thor
oughly satisfactory manner.
Bright and early tomorrow morning
the cars will be on their way again,
for the hardest portion of the
route. 1t is anticipated that many ma
chimes receiving a perfect average for
the first days run will suffer somewhat
when the Santa Ana canyon is reached.
