Reports for the first six months of

the reasons is stated to be that freight
movement as yet has shown but little
decrease in tonnage, and promises

SANTA CRUZ, Aug. 23.-The endurance
automobile road race which was to have
taken place in this city on September 21.
under the auspices Of the Canlornia State
Automobile association, has been post
poned until next spring. -

of the meet that it will take too long for
the county roads to be put in condition,
and also that there are no 1903 stock
cars on the coast at the time, and that
1t would be impossible to get cars here
until after the big races are held in the
east.
These races will take place in November
and 1t would be nearly spring before new

spring on which the races will be held
is not known. but it is believed that 1t
will be near the opening Of the summer

10 be built upon the roof OF the New

ton are now being drawn by Arthur
voegtlin Of the Hippodrome. and work
will be commenced in n few days IN
der the direction OF John Corrigan, the
master carpenter OF the big house.
The plans as outlined by Mr.. Voegtlin
utilize the enormous open fiat roof OF
the Hippodrome as an ideal place for
the landing OF balloons. The enormous
fagpoles that now encircle the build
Ing will be removed. as they might
prove Instructions TO the approach OF
the balloons.
In the center of the roof fat plat
form will be arranged, which Will have
six enormous rings attached TO posts.
These rings will he intended as anchor
ages and Will be so arranged that an
anchor thrown from a balloon can be
instantly made fast and permit grad

feature OF the aerial station will be n
tank where a supply of gasoline will
always be on hand to provide fuel for
the motors OF dirigible balloons. A
connection will also be made with the
pipes Of the Consolidated Gas com
pany, so that any balloon landing on
the roof of the Hippodrome can get
plenty of gas with which TO continue
its flight.
