The San Francisco call., 1907-06-13
BY r. r. I'Hon,n1edieu

1t has virtually been decided to make
Del Monte the destination in the first
run of the season of the Automobile
club of California. The executive conf
mittee has sent word to A. B. Watson.
chairman of the runs and tours COM
mittee, to call run, If he deems it best,
to whatever place he believes best
suited to the pleasure of the members,
AS quite a number of the members
have. spoken in favor of Del Monte.
Watson will leave today in his car to
go over the roads and learn Their
condition. He will make several trips
out of Del Monte to nearby places TO
see if they will be attractive for short
runs. Watson will not return until
Monday.
If Del Monte be selected. the start
would be made on July 3. The ques-
tion of making it an endurance run
has not been settled. What Watson
is likely to do is to open an entry list
for an endurance run and offer the
cup that was not won in the last event.
If enough entries be made. the en-
durance run would take place; if not.
the members and their friends would
go merely on pleasure jaunt. Should
there be an endurance run, 1t will not
be imperative that the members going
to Del Monte take part in the event.
They will be privileged to go as suits
their convenience.
July 4 will be given over to gymk-
hama games and races in the afternoon.
Among the latter will be contest for
the Del Monte cup. Friday, Saturday
and probably Sunday will be set aside
for runs to nearby places, such as Santa
Cruz and Capitola. In fact, the run
will be a five days outing. On the
return of Chairman Watson an official
notice will be issued for the event.
