in the main street of the town IT was
found that fully 1000 people had gath

was very much in evidence.

A short distance above Madrone,
Fernando Nelson, himself record

in which he made his famous run from
San Francisco to Los Angeles. The
county road for the balance or the
way to San Jose was completely lined
with enthusiasts in automobiles and
carriages, the former falling IN ana
forming a parade, which made a most
triumphant entry into the Garden city.
LUNCHEON At SAN JOSE
At Gilroy the invitation had been ex-
tended to the party for luncheon TO
be given at the La Molle house by the
members of the Santa Clara county au-
tomobile club. The honors for the
club were done by John r. Chace, who
extended to the wayfarers the heartiest
wishes and a most appetizing luncheon.
He, in due time, informally turned the
racers over to A. B. Watson. who acted
as host for the remainder of the run to

Monday noon word came over the
telephone that the car was proceeding
northward from bakersfield and Fresno
and was likely to arrive in San Fran

raging and Chairman A B. Wat
son of the runs and tours committee
of the Automobile Club of California

the right of way among the automo-

as IL was expected 1t would be two
days run, and in his absence the club
was represented by r. r. IHommedieu.
The car proceeded in the direction of

to Los Banos, fully 30 miles farther on.
BY this time the night was well ad-

The motor car was king yesterday.
when Harold Brinker at the wheel of
the Thomas seventy in the New
York to Paris automobile race drove
up Market street. He was met and
specially led by band of music and
the police and a cheering mob gave
vent to its enthusiasm with waving
hats, flags and hand clappings that
told of the appreciation of what
Brinker, Captain Hans Hansen and
George Schuster had done in the name
Of old glory.

in a contest in which four of the ma

NEW PROBATE REGISTER.

Judge of Probate Stephen A. Graham
this morning announced that he had
appointed Attorney George l.. Brown
to the office of probate register to
succeed Hugh Ii. Hart who resigned
several months ago. Judge Graham
offered the Office to Mr.. Hart but the
latter refused, owing to other business
intentions.
Mr.. Brown had intended to take up
his residence in Forsyth, Montana,
until he was notified of his appoint
ment to probate register. He is a pop
ular young attorney and has many
friends in the city who will be pleased
to learn of his appointment to the
Office.
Before entering the University of
Michigan, where he graduated from
the law department, Mr.. Brown was
for several years a bookkeeper in the
Port Huron Savings Bank and he is
fully competent to take care of the
duties of the Office Of probate register.

Electric Service Excellent.

For the proper accommodation of
residents of "the thumb" district who
go to Detroit, the officials of the Rapid
Railway have just devised a plan of
holding in readiness an extra electric
car to become the second section of the
1875 a. m. limited out of Port Huron
for Detroit. This car is in readiness
daily, and the Port Huron agent of
the trolley company keeps in close
touch with the Pere Marquette officials
at Port Huron as to the number of
people who are on the train bound for
Detroit. For this reason the extra car
is held in readiness, the intention of the
Rapid Railway officials being to give
every passenger on the limited car a
seat.
The Rapid Railway is proving an
exceedingly popular way for our citi-
zens going to Detroit after reaching
Port Huron. The ride is most
beautiful one at a low rate of fare. In
addition to hourly local cars there are
four limiteds leaving Port Huron at
7:S5 m, 1875 m, 1886 p m and 6:35
ID m.

A PLEASANT VISIT.

Elan Sloat, of Yale, an old friend
and neighbor made us a pleasant visit
on Friday last. A number of old ac-
quaintances came in to pay their re-
spects which added much interest to
the occasion. Old times were gone
over and our memories refreshed with
"reminiscences of the past. Mr.. Sloat
favored us with music and songs which
were well rendered and much appre-
ciated. The occasion was one of joy
and gladness and will be remembered
for long time to come. Thanks to
Mr.. Sloat. We hope he will come
again. Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Foster,

Box Social a Success.

The box social given by the teacher
Miss Eleanor Bidleman, and pupils, in
the Lutz District, last Friday evening
was a complete success both socially
and financially. The spelling contest,
an interesting feature of the evening
in which young and old participated
alike, was very closely contested by
Mrs. M. Bowles and Mrs. Bush, Mrs.
Bush finally securing first prize and
Willie Vanskiver, the consolation prize.
The attendance was very large, the
school officers and parents of the pupils
taking a lively interest in the success
of the affair. The receipts of the even
ing were S1455.
