Three Of the cars did not finish. The
'01 White Stanhope had trouble on the
| first part of the journey and falled 10
check in at the first control. An Au-
burn driven by ]. S. Green had dlffl-
Guilty with its tires, and the Gilmore
driven by E. B. Smith was held UP at
Temecula on account of an accident
that happened at Escondido, in which
horse was so badly injured that 1t
had to be shot.
Both the women drivers finished on
the dot with scores that showed no
flaw anywhere along the line;
The driving of Miss Gladys Moore
was the feature of the whole run, as
she took her ten horse power Cadillac
over the $50 miles of roads without
the least trouble.
Accompanied only by her mother and
with only three weeks previous ex-
perience with the car, she bravely
made the attempt that was considered
too hard by many seasoned drivers.
In many places the road is none of
the best and necessitates skillful
handling of the car to keep 1t on the
grades and prevent the engine from
stalling, but the plucky little woman

that was encountered in many places,
caused by preceding cars.

and the cars came in travel stained
and dusty. but with that happy smile
that denotes trip We'll maze ana
safe return home.
Hosts of happy memories and a
greater acquaintance with many other
motorists are some of the rewards for
those who took part in the longest tour
that was ever pulled off in Southern
California.
The only accident of any consequence |
was when a horse collided with the
Gilmore of e. B. Smith. The driver of
the car thought the equestrian would
turn at the corner where they met, but |
he kept straight down the cross street |
and, without making any evident eff |
fort to stop, drove his horse into the |
car The animal was knocked off its |
feet and it's legs broken. necessitating |
