AUTO SPEED CARNIVAL.
Programme for annual Meeting ON
the Florida Beach.

The list of events for the fifth annual winter
automobile meet the Ormond-Daytona beach III
Florida was decided upon last week and submitted
to President Asa Paine and the board of directors
of the Florida East Coast Automobile Association
for their approval 1t is quite possible that long
race of 300 miles will be added to the programme
The speed carnival will be held from January q
to 27 II was the wish Of some persons that the
tournament be held later in the season. but the
fact that the beach has always been in record shape
in January, and the further fact that that is the
only month when hotel accommodations can be
depended on. led the board OF directors and their
advisers TO maintain the dates announced some
time ago
The programme caters nearly every STYLE of
machine The 100 mile Minneapolis Cup race which
presented by the Minneapolis Automobile Club
will undoubtedly furnish q great struggle as was
the case last winter when Walter Clifford carp
of London, drove his the last fifty miles on
three tires, beating the worlds the dis
tance. The Ormond-Daytona beach not only holds
ell the worlds automobile records from cne to one
hundred miles, but is the only course in the world
where Il driver has made a record on three tires
The two-nlile-a- minute race for the speed crown
won last year by Victor Demoseot, will be held
again. The mile race for the Sir Thomas Dewar
Cup, valued at $1,000. will command the same at
enton that it has in the past because of the fact
