sibly a little bridgework built, but the
commissioners OF the county will pro-
badly give a hand In making the road
passable by the time of the run. The
fourth days tour will be a stem
winder," and the sand crabs" as the
prospective drivers have already been
dubbed, will have some strenuous work.
The going between Fort Pierce and
even no trail in some places, and con-
nections will have to be made with
turpentine roads cut out by the big
wheel turpentine carts.
The fifth day will be 'waff1es and
honey" for all hands, as the beautiful
road, narrow though it is, built of soft
limestone by Dade county, assisted by
Mr.. F'lagler, from Palm Beach to Mi
ami, is thing of joy, after coming out
of the wilderness OF bad roads.
Controls for the nights will be at Or
mond, Rockledge, Fort Pierce and Palm
Beach. and drivers will not be allowed
to start before 6 o'clock in the morning.
About so members of the f. E. c. A. A.
have their cars with them at Daytona
and other points, and it is expected that
they will make a few entries for the
run. Any kind of automobile is eligi-
BILE, and among the first entries were
two from Hutto & Co., Jacksonville,
who entered two one-cylinder Detroit
machines One of the drivers of the
latter machines is a native Florida
cracker who knows his way through
the woods, and he is expected to make
the running for the rest, although the
road will be well defined by a path
finder, which will in about two weeks
time go over the road with pencil
camera and lay out the entire course.
Controls may be slightly altered if his
investigation shows that to be neces-
sary. The end of the run will be at the
Royal Palm, Miami, where John Sewall,
Joseph P. Greaves and other prominent
citizens will check the survivors.

Drivers to Have Rough Roads
of Sand and Swamp.
A MOST SEVERE TEST.
Long Endurance Run Between
Jacksonville and Miami.
A Native Acquainted With the
Trail Will Lead.

New York, Dec. 2S.-Details of what
1t Is said will be one of the most Sc
we're and interesting of road runs ever
held in this country have been practi-
cally settled for the endurance test be-
tween Jacksonville and Miami, Fla, q
distance of 365 miles. The exact date
for starting has not been determined
but the conditions governing it. the
controls and the routes have been ar
ranged.
Contestants in this run will find all
sorts and conditions of roads to con-
tend with and to test their ingenuity
from the smooth shell road, so well
known in the south, to the trackless
forest and the painless plains, with
many unbridged streams Intervening.
It will be essentially a club run and
short distance for each days travel 1t
is expected to be a severe strain on the
cars and men entered.
Major Arthur B. Foster, president of
the Florida East Coast Automobile as
ISOLATION, which is sponsor for this
contest will start the contestants off
bright and early in the morning from
Bay and Hogan streets, Jacksonville,
and will be on hand at st. Augustine
to welcome the cars at the end of the
first leg of the journey. From that
point President Foster will go to Day
tona to arrange reception for the
sand pluggers'' at the clubhouse of
the F. E. c. A. A. on the famous Or
mond-Daytona beach,
After leaving Jacksonville the first
control will be at the Alcazar, ST. Au-
gustine, a distance of 81 miles from the
start, where the cars will be checked
in by the mayor of the city, the. post
master and other prominent citizens.
From that point the drivers will start
for Ormond. 81 miles from ST. Angus
tine, making the days run 104 miles
The Kings highway, over which this
part of the trip will be made, was built
by British troops during the reign of
George III, through the forest and ev-
erglades of Florida from Narysville,
Ga. 1t is still in fair condition in
patches, and Thomas White, father of
Windsor White, president of the White
company of Cleveland, is superintend-
ing the repairs now going on to make
the whole road passable-
The second days run will be to Rock

total distance of II miles for the day.
Half the distance, however, Is rough,
the route going over a trail merely
showing the way. The third days run
will be from Rockledge to Fort Pierce,
342 miles from Jacksonville, or 81 miles
for the day This days run will be
through a barren waste, and some
creeks will have to be forded and pos

Ladysmith. Wis, Dec. 2S.-Geb-
hardt Moe of this city is the inventor
and perfector of new method of
measurement which is potent with
possibilities. Mr.. Noes new system
is based on the use of a screen in con-
nection with the Photographic appar-
atus. When picture is taken through
the screen the result is apparent. as
shown above, this likeness being a
picture of Mr.. Moe himself taken
through a Moe screen. Each series of
squares are of known value and Mr..
Moe claims that more correct meas
urenents can be computed from this
method than from the present Bertil-
lon style.

pose of His Boston Stock.
Boston, Dec. 2S.-Fred Tenney will
be delighted to leave Boston for New
York or any other place. his friends
say The great first sacker has been
mistreated here, he declares. He got
the option on the Boston National
league franchise from Arthur Soden
and Uncle Bill Conant and took
$4,000 worth of stock in the organ
ization, George Dovey, who is said
to be backed by Barney Dreyfuss OF
Pittsburg, furnishing the rest of the
capital necessary to effect a change in
ownership.
Tenney, being compelled to depart
for New York and learning that the
Doves had had a most successful sea-
son. imagined that his minority stock
holding would be taken off his hands
at a fair appreciation in value. Ten
ney now learns that George hardly
cares to pay par.
AS a minority stakeholder. all Ten
ney can get is a statement that the
club has tied up all the cash ordinart-
ly available for dividends in purchas-

balance sheet looks bad.

Bradstreet's.
Bradstreet,s saws:

Bradstreet's says:
Trade as a whole has been quiet
and industry has slackened percep-
tibly, but the financial situation has
eased, except where, as in the case
of New York, large end of the years
disburseme are to be provided for.
Mild weather is still complained of as
affecting retail trade in seasonable
goods, such as clothing, shoes, rub
bers, footwear and kindred lines. At
some cities the usual January reduc-
ton sales were held in December, in
many instances occurring before
Christmas Jobbing trade was quiet
till after the latter date, when the
usual clearance sales of wash and
other dress fabrics were made, arous-
ing a fair amount of interest. Whole
sale busin ess has been quiet, and both
this line and the jobbing trade note
the receipts of many requests to delay
shipment of goods.
Industrial lines are quieter, gen.
eral shutting down for the holidays
being noted, and the textile trades es-
pecially have shown tendency to
further curtailment.
Collections are generally complain
ed of as slow, but favorable features
are the reports that many cities are
now practically on a currency basis;
that the market for mercantile paper
shows more life, and that special holi-
days declared in time of stress in CAL
ifornia have ended.
A very favorable feature in the sit
uation is the increase in the export
trade in several lines. Wheat is prom
inent in this respect, with record
shipments from Pacific coast ports
and the largest shipments of the year
from the country as a whole.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending December
26, number 246 against 800 last week
and 161 in the like week of 1905, 212
in 1905, 216 in 1904 and 200 in 1903.
Canadian failures for the week
number so, as against 40 last week
and Is in this week a year ago.
Wheat, including flour, exports
from the United States and Canada
for the week ending December &c are
the largest of the present year, ag-
gregating 6,254,519 bushels, against
4,s61.122 last week, 2,494,S32 this
week last year. and 4,291,543 in 1901.
For the twenty-six weeks of the fiscal
year the exports are 113,976,274 bush
els against 96,66S,326 in 1867 and
IA, 190,033 in 1902. Corn ex-
ports for the week are 1.043,726 bush

The election of mayor came after a

tied up between ex-Mayor Byron V.

turned over a1d cast for Ralston, leav-
