1t is likely that the purposed automibile
races on the beach in August viii be post
poned to September. The hotel men and
owners of garages have taken the matter
up with the local automobile club and asked
them not to have the races during the
height of the season because they would
not be able to accommodate people and ma
chimes. There will be an immense crowd
of people here at that season of the year
anyhow, and the auto races would attract
so many more that Accommodations for them
would be almost impossible to find. 1t may
be that instead of waiting until Septem-
Der, the club will have the races during
the latter part of July when the crowd
will not be quite as great In August.
