Magnificent Homes at San
Mateo. and 5urIlngame

The total number of machines en-
tered for the first annual tour Of the
Tourists which starts from Los Angeles
next Wednesday morning is gradually
nearing the fifty mark, and from pres
ent indications half a hundred ma
chimes will pull away on the 100O-rnile
tour. Up to yesterday forty cars were
entered, which means crowd of fully
150 people for the longest contest of
this kind ever held in the west.
AS a tour for one make of car ex-
clusively this run takes rank at the
head. No other company, no matter
how large, has ever undertaken trip
of such magnitude, and the greatest
credit is due j. S. Conwell, the general
manager of that company, who is pro-
noting and managing the event.
The next few days will be spent in
preparing for the contest. Those who
will take part will have many plans TO
make and there will be a general tun-
ing up of cars so everything will be in
tip top shape for the long run.
Almost daily there are added attrac-
tions which will make the trip of
greater interest to those participating.
One of the most delightful side trips
will be thirty minutes spent seeing
the homes and grounds OF the San
Francisco millionaires living in San
Mateo and Burlingame. The start
from San Jose on the fourth day will be
made thirty minutes before scheduled
time to permit the side trip to these
magnificent country seats.
Mr.. Conwell announced yesterday
that he had made arrangements with
the express company to grant a special
rate of $3.50 per cwt. for trunks and
baggage which passengers do not de-
sire to take in their cars The rate is
the entire trip, the baggage being de-
livered at the Fairmont hotel in San
Francisco and the Del Monte in Del
Monte.
