stopped five minutes during which time they stayed at The Elton. MT Burrall was also given the glad hand.
 E. H. Towle rode in Car No 3, the second to arrive at o'clock.
 Car No 29, a Pope Hartford, was driven by T. F. Garvan, son-in-law of Attorney John O'Neill of this city. In this machine was Mrs Garvan, MT O'Neilps daughter, the only woman who rode in any of the cars. She did not even wear an auto veil and ap- peared to be enjoying the trip fm- mensely. Mr O'Neill, his daughter, Miss Susan O'NeiH, and Attorney Jo- seph O'Neill were waiting for the car and when it came in they decorated it with four American flags.
 Car No 2, which Jagged along the route, had a big delay in Meriden. It seems the driver tried to run the ma- chine with imogene, composition of gasolene and some other chemical, but it was very unsuccessful
 Car No 12 was delayed about twelve minutes in Meriden because while crossing the tracks the tire on the machine were injured.
 No 40, Thomas Flyer, had six occupants, the biggest load of any car in the race.
 No 2S was delayed eight minutes three miles from Hartford, when a shoe blew off.
 No 50, the last car in, got strand ed near the Southington mountain when the front tire blew off. It took the driver about half an hour to repair it.
 All along the route there were crowds out to see the race and there appeared to be vast amount of in- terest taken in the run. Almost all the farmers along the route had pen cl and paper and jotted down the time of each machine as it went by. Because of the rule which would not allow the machine to go more than twenty miles an hour, or an average of that, the run seemed very slow to the riders. As John Burrall came in he said he was enjoying it but never theless he said 1t was mighty slow. We just crawl along
 The scorers and timers seem to have lot of trouble trying to keep a correct score and there is safe betting there will be an awful mix-up at Hartford this evening when the judges try to dope out the winners.

 A delightful whist party vas held at the home of Miss Etta Hughes on Railroad HIlI street last evening.

The Afternoon Trip.

The first car to arrive this after noon on the second leg of the course was the Franklin, driven by Robert Marshall, which was the first to come in this morning. It reached The El- ton this afternoon at 1:24, just a minute behind time. This car was one minute behind this morning on the first trip.
 Five minutes later the Corbin f. cylinder in which E. H. Towle rode. reached the control Mir Towle said the car was three minutes late in get ting into the Southington control be- cause the observers watch stopped running.
 The cars came in this afternoon as follows:
 No at 1924: No at 1929: No : at 1881; No 4 at 1:32; No at :37; No 10 at 1:47: No II at l:4S; No Ia at 1858: No 13 at 1854; No l9 at 1:5S; No 16 at 2:01; No f2 at 2:01; No 21 at 2:03: No [ at BOG; No 22 at 2:17; No 25 at 2:17; No 8 at 2:27: No at 2:27.

 The same drivers who occupied the seats this morning were sill on their cars.
 It was reported that P. Corbin, who was driving Car No 2. which had SO much trouble this morning. ran into Reynolds Bridge. after leaving Waterbury. but the time that the car arrived this afternoon did not seem to bear out the state meut. Mir Corbin- said he had no trouble after leaving this city and got 70 Hartford all right.
 The automOhiIists as they were passing through Terryville this af- ternoou found the following sign suspended across the road on a huge banner:
 Notice to autos. Please do not disturb the noiseless tenor of our way. The men in the race thought it was huge joke.

 There was a story around The El- ton that s. A. Miner. driver of car No 12. was arrested in Meriden this morning because he had lost his num- Der. Mir Miner emphatically denied the story this afternoon and said his delay in the Silver city was due to bad tires, just as he stated this fore noon.
 The contestants said the roads were not very bad and that although they were dusty they were better than they had expected. The machines were taking the hills. Southington mountain. Plymouth hill and Avon hill. near Hartford. in good shape.

CALF LAKE PROGRESSING.

Salt Lake continues to turn masses
of steel, stone and brick into ma gnifi-
cent buildings. 1t is to be doubted if
there is another city in the United
States of the same population where
there is half so much activity in the
building trades. The boom was a long
time coming, but it's here. Perhaps
boom" is not the proper word, for
there is no wild speculation in real
estate or a mad rush to erect buildings
beyond the present needs, just sub
stantiaI and healthy growth. Ram
shackle old "dobies'' are giving place
to magnificent structures on the main
streets, while the business district is
being extended in every direction by
the erection of blocks which would be
a credit to any city in the country.
The cry of hard times and no work
has been going up all over the east for
a year or more past. and the depres-
sion which always follows a panic has
prevented the employment of capital
in many enterprises. Conditions are
Lake has advanced steadily through
all the weary months of financial
strinsency. The indomitable and I'M
conquerable western spirit has been
displayed by energetic and farseeing
capitalists. and the entire community
has been benefited.
The breaking of ground for the Com
mercial club house, adjoining one of
the NewhOuse skyscrap ers, marks an
other step in the path of progress and
will give added impetus to the move
ment to place Salt Lake in her right
full position-queen of the whole Rocky
mountain region. Denver has reached
its limit, and there is no other com
petitor within a thousand miles. Those
who are putting their money into bus1-
ness blocks in this city will surely be
rewarded an hundred fold.

IOHN @. PACKARD.

In the death of John @. Packard Salt
Lake loses its most generous benefac-
tor and one of its most remarkable
men. Although he was nearly So years
old at the time of his death he was
wonderfully vigorous and active, re-
tanning his interest in life and finding
an outlet for his energy in business
when most men would have thought it
time to retire.
Mr. Packard's genius was essentially
constructive. Possessed of ample
means, he might long ago have aban-
doned the strenuous activities of min
ing development for a more leisurely
life, but for him inaction was impos-
sible. He enjoyed achievement for its
own sake and abhorred the thought of
idleness under any condition. Probably
that accounts for his unusual health
and the clearness of his mental vision
up to the time of his death.
This city owes him a debt of graft
tude for the library which was his I'M
solicited gift and the most generous
present Salt Lake has ever had. With
out consulting anybody but his law
yer, Mr.. Packard bought the ground
where the public library now stands
and announced he would erect a suit
able building If the city would under
take to support the institution prop
erly. The agreement was made. and
the result is one of the most beautiful
buildings in the city. in this connection
the donor made a characteristic re-
mark when some one suggested that
the building ought to be known as the
Packard library. IF I gave you
jackknife.' he said, would you expect
me to put my name on it?" The COM
ment was characteristic because the
man hated publicity and hid his gem
erosity whenever it was possible. He
belonged to the sturdy generation that
made the west, the type that con-
quered any sort of difficulty and en-
joyed even the hardships of the battle
so long as they won.
Now that he has gone. the library
which he gave should be named for
him. not only as a memorial of the
giver, but as mark of honor to one
of the states big men.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-10-04

while he runs for governor because
Roosevelt wants Shoots influence in
behalf of Taft, or because he imag ines
Shoots church connections may be
valuable to the Republican party in
Idaho and Wyoming Perish the
thought What Roosevelt had in mind
was the fact that Spry may need a job
after the state election and it might
save trouble and time TO keep him in
Office rather than have to make out a
new appointment for him after he has
been beaten for governor.
At the same time it will be difficult
to convince Mr.. Glasscock of West Vir-
ginia that he and Spry are both get
ting the same sort OF justice from the
White House. Glasscock is collector
of internal revenue and has been NOM
mated for governor-same as Spry.
But Glasscock, having refused to re-
sign. was incontinently kicked out by
the president. Glasscock thinks he
hasn't had a square DEAL but then he
is prejudiced. For has not the presi-
dent told us he gives everybody exact
justice. whether he be rich or poor,
great or small. Democrat or Republi-
can?

MAR. KNIGHT FOR GOVERNOR.

The nomination of Jesse w. Knight
as Democratic candidate for governor
is an admiral BILE choice In every way.
He is educated in the best sense, not
only in the schools. but in the field of
practical endeavor. He has travelled,
ne has shown his ability in business
affairs. he is clean and Hkeable, and he
is mature enough to meet the respon-
sibilities OF high office, though still
young enough to have the advantage
of energy equal to any demand that
may be made upon him.
Some of Mr.. knights political OPP
pOnents speak sneeringly of him as
''the son of his father" That sort Of
attack is sure to be boomerang:
scarcely any better recommendation
could be offered in behalf of a candi-
date than to say that he is Uncle Jesse
Knights son. He has been identified
with all of the enterprises which have
made his father popular, and so has
been active in the remarkable series of
developments which have contributed
so much to the material progress and
wealth of the mining camps of the
state and the prosperity of the COM
munities in which the knight invest
ments are held.
Further than this Mr.. knight repre-
sents the younger element of the state
which stands for all that is best in
politics: he is identified with no faction:
he has had no part in the quarrels
which have embroiled the state. When
elected he viii devote himself to the
welfare of the whole people not to the
advancement of a part of the people
or the upbuilding of a faction
With the Republicans split in twain
and the whole state DESTROYS of set

rule has brought. Mr.. Knight ought to

SO Spry is to be permitted to hang
on to his job as United States marshal
the while he makes his guberna torial
campaign and directs the general man
agement of the Smoot machine. That
much, it seems, has been settled by the
president. According to The Herald/
Washington correspondent. the attor-
ney general thought to treat Spry as a
common politician. subject to the rule
which has been applied elsewhere when
federal office holders have accepted
nouina ton for Office Under this rule
Spry would have been compelled to re-
tire or have his resignation requested
but apparently no rules apply to VIII
liam. He just had Senator Smoot wire
the president and attorney general
that the constitution and bylaws had
to be suspended for Spry, and Theodore
Bonaparte didn't know his business or
such a thing as firing Spry would
never have been mentioned.
You see. the president insists on
