miles on hour was not abated unit
within few lengths of the spot
The crowd swarmed about the incom
ing cars. Someone in the throng rec
ognized an acquaintance in one of the
dust -sheathed, goggled tourists, ant
pressed forward to shake hands.
Don't touch me unless you want tx
take a bath" was the warning witt
which his greeting was laughingly re-
turned.
The tourists were the color of clay
from head to foot. Fine tan dust was
upon them all like shroud. The dust
was just the tint of the khaki clothing
they wore, and each mans face APP
peared as in a feature fitting KHAKI
mask. When some of the dust had
been wiped off with dusty sleeves anC
handkerchiefs, faces shining with sur
and wind burn were shown.
As each car came in it was a target
for many cameras.
AS each car received its supply oil
gasolene, oil and hard oil, it got under
way and whizzed on down to the Saul
paugh. Duplicate records were kept
of the amount taken by each car. Al
took gasolene with the exception oil
No. Ii, White which uses kerosene.
Running far behind the big cars
the two little Brush rlnabouts last
nigh formally withdrew from the con
test, explaining in the notification tc
Chairman Hover that "the schedules
are too fast for a seven horse powel
mnabOut." The Brush cars continued
in the tour as contestants.
The Hubmobile, another small ma
chine was withdrawn, probably for the
same reason, and the Mcintyre is alst
out of the contest.
The notice of the withdrawal of thu
Brush cars was received with Joy by
the observers. These men ride in diff
ferent ears every day of the tour
and after riding in one of the bi:
long touring cars, notice a marked
difference in the riding qualities wher
compelled to make a days run in ont
of the little cars.
The Chalmers-Detroit, driven by Boil
ger, was penalized again yesterday
much to the disgust of the observers
who criticised the man in charge of tn,
ear for not making a necessary repair
in permanent manner instead o
fixing it up temporarily from time t.
time and suffering penalties wheneve
the imperfect part gave trouble.
The scores of the various contestins
cars, as announced last evening b,
Chairman Hover, were as follows:
