TO DECIDE UPON PRIZES.
Committee Which Had Charge of En-
durance Run to Meet Monday.

The committee of the New Jersey Auto
mobile Club, which had charge OF the
endurance contest Friday and Saturday,
will hold a meeting Monday night at the
clubhouse to wind up the business so far
as the endurance event Is concerned, and
to decide definitely as to the style of cup
which will be presented to those con-
testants who finished the race with a per-
feet score.
In addition to silver loving cups. the
owners of clean score cars will be granted
handsomely engraved certificates setting
forth the conditions of the race, and re-
citing the performance of the machines
under these conditions. 1t is not expected
that either the cups or the certificates will
be awarded within the next fortnight, as
It will require some time to complete the
elaborate engraving on the cups. When
they and the certificates are completed the
race committee will call the lucky con-
testants together and hold a formal meet
ing.
There will this time be none of the un-
happy squabbling over cups which marked
the three-day contest in the spring, for
there will be cups enough 10 go around,
and no hard feeling among the winners as
to the disposition Of the trophies. A ten
tative design for a cup has been selected,

graceful pattern which will be a fitting
reward for cars which finished without
