In the Big Race Meeting TO Take

Beach i'm March.

Florida recently, W, J Morgan, who
is interested in the motoring events
of the East Coast of Florida declared
that it was his opinion that the
forthcoming boat and automobile
carnivals in March would be the
greatest ever seen in the southland
or this Country.
He found tremendous interest in
the meet from jacksonville to
Miami, and the two events, the au-
tomobile run from jacksonville to
Miami through Il trackleSs waste for
the most part, has set automobilists
talking all over the north and south.
The run will be for stock cars and
the best drivers Of the country Will
participate and viii be accompanied
by corps Of photographers and
newspaper reporters, a. it viii UNI
doubtcdly provide some sensational
incidents. Arrangements viii he
made to check the daring drivers at
the principal points of the IOu-miIe
drive and all of them will be
equipped with bridge and road
making implements, as it is expected
that IN some places they Will prac-
tlcally build a road in order to pro
ceed and at other points will prob
ably have to build some bridges in
order to cross streams The pur-
pose Of the run is chiefly to draw
the attention Of the people of Florida
to the want of 4 good road through
the peninsula, which would mean
much for the State. In fact, it is
now the aim of the good roads advo-
Gates of the State to have a road
built around the peninsula and

mean nearly a thousand mile drive
