AUTO SHOW WILL
CLOSE TONIGHT
EXHIBITION HAS PROVED A
GREAT SUCCESS
Supply Displays In Connection with
the Machine Booths Are Among
the Features Of the
Enterprise

Glorious will be automobile week
close this evening at the Grand avenue
exhibition room. After six days of
spectacular success, exceeding hopes
of the most optimistic, an Initial event
of Los Angeles business and social life
will be recorded as an epoch In South
ern California progress.
1t had been anticipated that con-
siderable interest would be manifested
as regarded the horseless exhibit, but
nothing like past week attendance was
expected. A propitious opening led to
greater things. With each succeeding
evening capacity of the auditorium be-
came more and more taxed and during
the past two days a congestion re-
suited.
Unlike other affairs of an exhibition
nature interest has not waned and to
all appearances another week might
be scheduled without financial loss
to the promoters.
One thing at least has been forcibly
impressed upon automobile dealers OF
Los Angeles Before another show is
given building of sufficient size to
accommodate public and exhibits must
be provided. Spacious as the Morley
establishment is, a larger place Will
be imperative.
Following show week promoters
might possibly take a vacation with
out uudllllS VI COiiSCltllCc HhibhiS uPCii
inattention to business. The exhibit
ton has required much of them and
tonight will find those connected with
the booths in a state of WEAKNESS bor-
dering upon exhaustion.
Angelenans wanted to be shown
everything and in a convincing man
ner. Their desires were realized and
persons in doubt as to what make of
machine they wished to purchase Will
doubtless have arrived at definite
conclusion by closing hour this even
ing.
Not only have the automobiles them
selves attracted attention but side eX-
hibits of sundries and supplies as well.
Necessarily an automobile must be
pampered and petted like thorough
bred equine and as a result everything
in connection with the buzz wagon
life is being thoroughly inspected at
the show.
John T. Bill presents the largest
spark plug ever manufactured and this
feature is displayed at the Stoddard-
Dayton supply annex.
Various makes of tires, lamps, etc,
are given ample space at many of the
booths.
The Gump-Jackson exhibit has proved
mecca during the week and the
handsome cars are well worthy OF
careful inspection by those on purchase
bent.
The Southern California Motor Car
company has been placed at dis
advantage by the failure of railroad
companies to fulfill contracts.

DEFEAT
THE COLLEC|ANS
Richardson Proves Star of the Day and
Captures Five First Places.
Estoppey Wins Two
Mile Run

Something of a surprise resulted on
Bovard field yesterday afternoon when
the interclass field day contest between
collegianS and preps went to the latter
by score of 60 to 80.
A slow track made an approach to
record breaking impossible, though
some interesting competition was in
order.
AS might have been expected, Charlie
Parsons was the center of attraction
when he came out for the 100 and 220-
yard dashes, which he won handily,
though given a good test by Schultz in
the short sprint.
Parsons was unable to make exceed
ingly fast time, doing the 100 in 10 %
and running the 220 in 2314 seconds.
The big fellow showed good form and
no deterioration could be noticed in his
ability of two years ago. The mile
event went to Newmyre, who beat Nor
dahl and Estoppey.
Estoppey, however, came back for tht
two-mile race and won handily. A sur
prise was sprung when Lennox, favoritC
for the 120-yard high hurdles, lost t.
Comstock.
Parsons represented the college, whil
Newmyre and Estoppey were pre-
point winners Richardson distin
guished himself by annexing five firsts
Following are the results:
High hurdles-Comstock and Lennon
Time, II seconds.
22O dash-Parsons, Cooper and Fuller
Time, 23A.
44O dash-Lennox, Thompson an
Sneider. Time, 5S 2-5.

Mass. Time, IL minutes 2-5 second:

Los Angeles herald., 1907-01-26

OF those making their debut today
Balbus and Carmelina are best, but
may run green.
The third race is not an easy one to
select the winner. The Schreiber-A At
kin entry, j. r. Laughrey and Fred
Mulholland are my choice, as they
both showed we'll their last out. Ari-
mo. despite his big package, will go
we'll and if anything beats the top
two this will be the most likely one,
as he has speed and is very game. Col.
Jack and Elancer will probably fight
it out for third money. Norfolk has an
outside chance to be in the money.
If Niblick has recovered from his
short spell of sickness he will be the
one they will have to beat in the fifth
race. Clandestine looks the next best
on his last race and if he runs as well
today may come under the wire ahead
of the top one.
Sunray needed her last race to put
her on edge so look for better per
! formance from her today. Uncle
Henry and Lucrece have good chances
to be among the first three.
The sixth race is a strictly two horse
affair between Otto Price and Bis
store. Both are bad actors at th'
post, and if they get away badly Ban
lada may win. Ray Egan has a goo'
chance TO be in the money. Proba
bilities, Otto Price, Big Store, Ban
lada.

LAY OF THE
AUTO REPORTER

Az night when the city is sleeping
Beneath its mantel of fog,
The reporter HES to his lodgings,
Removes his diamonds and togs.
In his bed at the Alexandria,
Where his grub and sumbers are cheap,
He attupes his soul to dreamland
only to hear in his sleep
The biffl bingl bangl chugl tooti zipi
and squeal
OF the dash-blnged automobile.
Chassis and cranks and clutches
And wheels with fearless din,
Rumble and clatter about him
Until he's completely "in."
And he peers through the haunted
shadows.
Whispering under his breath.
"Give, oh give me insomnia
Or erstwhile give me death"
On account of the
zeel zuml squankl wheel bump and
spiel
OF the gum-dasted automobile.
And when he wakes in the morning
His soul is racked with pain,
As weak and worn and woozy
He goes to his task again,
Praying that when he reaches
The bright isles of the blest
Where the wicked cease from troubling
And the weary are at rest,
There will be no
Whoopl honkl wrangl zimi whiff and
sQueal
OF the dinged-whizzed automobile.

marriott HURLED
FROM MACHINE
GREAT AUTO DRIVER MAY BE
FATALLY INJURED
In Attempt to Break One Mile Record
Car Strikes Obstruction and
Is Shattered to
Fragments

ORMOND, Fla, Jan. 25.-Perfect
weather and beach conditions todav
favored the last day of racing. There
were FIVE events on the card incI,d-
ing Marriotts attempt to reduce the
present record of 2S 2-5 seconds for the
n,lle' Ihe other events were five-mile
club championship for drivers of the
amateur class, and special match races
at one, six and twelve miles
In the third attempt to break the
one-mile record Marriott's steam car
struck bump in the beach and was
hurled Into the air and shattered TO
fragments when 1t fell. Marriott was
seriously but probably not fatally in
jured.
That Marriott escaped with his life
Is regarded as little short of miracu-
lous. He was helpless after the car
struck the obstruction and sprang into
the air. His efforts to bring II under
control when 1t struck after q tremen-
dous leap had no effect whatever and
1t wobbled and plunged and finally
turned completely over.
The driver was pinned into the ma
chine as 1t was hurled along rolling
over and over until 1t finally was shat
tered almost to splinters. Marriott
was freed and his unconscious form
slid along for yards before 1t came to
a stop.
Ihe Doiler or the engine rolled along
down the beach great distance. Mar
riott rcgained consciousness quickly,
but 1t was seen that one rib was
broken and one of his eyes probably
destroyed. besides which he was badly
| bruised.
Whether he is internally injured has
not been determined. Fortunately for
Marriott the fuse plug in the boiler
| blew out at the moment of the acci-
dent and permitted the steam to es-
cape. Marriott's' car was running at
the rate of nearly 125 miles an hour
at the time of the accident.
| The siX-mile handicap for amateurs
was won by Laughlin in 3O-horse-
| power gasoline car in minutes 2-5
seconds actual running time. Laugh
| lin had a handicap of / minute sec
ondS.
Marriott failed in his attempt to
| lower the mile record. He covered the
distance In 2S 3-5 seconds, two-fifths
of second slower than the best pre-
viousN performance.
The twelve-mile event between an
English and American touring car
stripped was won by Hutton in the
English car. Time 1912 2-5.
William b. Ray of Brooklyn made
O new mile record for two-cylinder
motor cycles. Time IA 2-5.

WILL RACE TODAY

Directors of the Los Angeles Driving
club have arranged to hold the first or
the bi-monthly matinees at Agrtcul-
tural park this afternoon.

fried which won the Berry cup at the

The races are for cups, and as two

MAY COMBINE PASADENA AND
ANGEL CITY HORSE SHOWS
Special to The Herald.


PASADENA, Jan. 25.-A decision
tending to combine the horse shows of
Los Angeles and Pasadena in spirit If
not in fact was reached last night by
the directors of the Southern California
horse show Of Pasadena after a long
deliberatlon in the parlors of Hotel
Maryland.
In an interview with President Ed
ward Wilcox of the Pasadena horse
show a representative of The Herald
obtained the following statement:
Il have the assurance of some of
the leading spirits of the Los Angeles
Horse Show association that they win
be with us hand and glove in a move
ment to eliminate all rivalry in the
conducting Of the two shows.
The first step toward this will be a
proposition which we have decided TO
place before the directors of the Los
Angeles association, to have no entries
not in common. This win mean that
every horse entered in the Pasadena
show will be entered in the Los Angeles
show, and every horse entered in the
Los Angeles show will be entered in the
Pasadena show.
We may ask that the show be held
there one year and here the next.

MUST OBEY SPEED LAW
HORSEMEN AND AUTO CHAUF-
FUERs UNDER OBSERVATION.

Owners of good driving horses, automo-
biles and other horseless vehicles are TAX
ing advantage Of the good weather and of
the opportunities for speeding afforded by
the city streets, county roads and the drive
ways in the parks and about the river
front. Some Of them have not been out on
the road for so long a time that they have
apparently forgotten that Maj. Sylvester
has corps Of bicycle policemen on duty to
enforce the provisions of the rapid gait
laws. There are sixty-four bicycle men
sixty privates and four sergeants-and
many Of them are constantly on duty. In
addition to the sixty-four bicycle policemen
Maj. Sylvester has a volunteer who rides
motor cycle, Policeman o. T. Trenis of
Georgetown. His duty is performed in the
Zoo and National Park his particular duty
being to follow horseless vehicles and ar
rest chauffeurs who violate the speed law
In addition to complying with the pro-
visions OF the speed law, owners of horse
less vehicles have to meet other REQUIRE
ments. An important provision Is one which
requires operators of motor vehicles to hold
licenses, and 1t Is also necessary to display
the number of the license upon the machine
and to have lights and bells or horns, at
tached. 1t Is also necessary for tourists to
register when they reach the city.

EDITOR STEAD COMING HERE.
Noted Englishman Will Sail for New
York on March 90.

LONDON, March 23.-W. T. Stead. the
English editor. will sail on the steamer
Caronia on March &c for New York to at
tend the Inauguration Of the Carnegie In
stitution at Pittsburg April IL and the Ma
tional Arbitration and Peace Congress at
Carnegie Hall. New York. April Is.
During his stay in America Mr.. Stead.
who, after conferences with Premier
Campbell-Bannerman and Foreign Secre-
tary Gray, recently made a-tour Of the
capitals of Europe in the interest Of bring
ing up the question Of national disarm-
ament at The Hague peace conference, ex-
poets to see President Roosevelt and other
prominent men, and to ascertain their
views regarding disarmament.
In an interview today Mr.. Stead ex-
pressed the hope that America would fur
Their the principle which he declares an
American delegate brought before The
Hague convention Of 1889. Mr.. Stead re-
ferred to recommendation, which was
unanimously adopted, made by the late
F. W. Hollis. Mr.. Hollis proposed that
when two powers have a dispute which
they are unable to adjust by the ordinary
means of diplomacy that they call in me-
diators, who will be allowed thirty days
in which to endeavor to avert war.
AS to disarmament, Mr.. Stead said he
did mot expect anything more than an ed
ucational result from the discussion Of
this question at the coming convention.
