per day Of ms for each person. making
a total Of S76.0 for each person for the

for US In completing these arrangements

New Conditions Prevail.
1t is notable that the conditions for the
1903 tour are wholly different from those
Of former years. For the first time the
Glidden trophy is up az a prize for an In
dividual. to be held by him for one year.
II will no longer so to q club nor be com
peted for by teams. In order to permit Of
this and Of the increased distance, II was
necessary that the deed Of gift be altered
and this was done with the consent OF the
donor, Charles j. 0ndden, who win be
on the tour. Besides the Glidden trophy
there are two others, each Of which be-
comes the permanent possession of its
winner this year. First Of these is the
Hover trophy for runabouts, donated by
r. 3. Howar, chairman OF the A. A. A.
contest board and manager Of the tour;
this will be the third Hover trophy to
be awarded. The other prize IL q new one
offered under unusual circumstances II
Is q trophy for the miniature tonneau car
making the best score and IL known a.
the Detroit cup. In appreciation OF the
honor OF having the tour start from heir
city. the members Of the Detroit Board Of
Commerce agreed to donate . trophy to be
competed for by miniature tonnoau ears
The mayor and commOn council Of the city
got ahead OF the msrchants, however, and
for the first time on record an approprsa-
tion from the city treasury wal voted for
q trophy. without the matter being referred
to a committee. The common council voted
fSo for the prise ana = committee headed
by Mayor Breitmeyer was appointed to
make the purchase. Tn mayor found the
sum insufficient and added tsse from his
private purse.
The rules for 1909 are more strict than
any former set and cars will be penalixed
In fractional marks for any w0rk done on
them. All the extra parts and tools car
ried win be listed. an observer will ride
on each car and there will be an inspection
Of the parts n tools at the finish and
perhaps during the tour. The system Of
penalisation has been admirably worked
out by tsnths OF q point as to make It
reasonably certain that q winner will be
evolved, and yet no car be heavily penal
iced for repairs that are trivial and quite
ordinary. The cars will be divided into
five classes this year, as follows:
Glass A-Cars listed at ss,75i and upward.
Glass Bears listed at H.M to R.7so In
Glass Gears listed at 1L75l 10 SaASa In
class D-cars listed at n.sOO to s175O in
Glass D-cars listed at Rss and under.

mounted by q full touring bedy and carry
ing four passengers or equivalent ballast.
For the Hover trophy any regular stock
chassis. u by q runabOut body oar
rying at least two persons, may compete.
Any stock ohGesis mounted by a miniature
tonnsau and carrying four persons or the
equivalent ballast may compete for the
