Vancouver athletes. the best the
locals could do in the first inter-
club meet of the season at Van

even with the v. A. c. lads.
Carter, 15S-pound boxer, was
knocked out in the third round by
Fireman Burke, while Jack Kaye,
the 125-pounder, lost the decision
to J. McCallum. Lester Ball put

Accompanied by his wifea and
two children, w. H. Bidweh of
Greenacres started from this' city
Thursday noon in a Chalmers De
troit 80 on a tour that will carry
him to Philadelphia before the car
is pointed toward Spokane next
summer.
From this city the party will go
to The Dalles via Spraguen and
LYNN. A boat will take the ma
chine and party to Portland, where
the long coast trip to Los Angeles
will be commenced.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Bidwell
to spend several months in Los
Angeles and then start eastward,
ending in Philadelphia in the early
spring. The return trip will be
made in the summer, when the
roads are in first class condition.
The journey of almost 5000 miles
was determined upon on account
of Mrs. Bidwell, who is in bad
health. The Bidwell fruit ranch
at Greenacres was sold to pay the
Atlanta Races Today.
Drivers of racing cars talk of lit
tie else than the Atlanta race meet
today on the new Atlanta speed
way, which has been constructed
at an expense of $350,00O. The At
lanta Automobile association has
placed no less than 80 events on
the program for the five days race
meeting. These events are at
every distance and for every class
of car The drivers are not. pleased
with the program, but are more
than pleased with the cash prize
offerings. which amount to $500
in II events.
The Atlanta speedway is two
miles, 100 feet in width on the
stretch and 60 feet wide on the
wide turns and the back stretch.
1t is well banked. The course is
completed now and has grand
stands to seat at least 10000 peo-
pie. The track building necessi-
tated the moving of over 100000
cubic yards of dirt, the center being
| clear of every imaginable obstruc-
ton. The track is in sight from
the grand stand for the entire two
miles.
Hugh Jennings has invested in
an automobile and has already
| mastered the art of driving it.
The olTe bright spot remaining
as a result of the now past attempt
to hold a siX-day motorcycle race
is the fact that A. G. ChappIe, rid
ing an Indian motorcycle and head
ing the New York Motorcycle club
| team, with the assistance of his
team broke every worlds record
from a half hour to twelve hours
for motor driven vehicles on a
mile dirt track.
