FOURTH ANNUAL CARNIVAL A
LARGE EVENT

able Prizes Will Be Given
to Winners

Look out for Santa Ana! Santa Ana
is alive and is to be heard from right
loudly on September 80 and OCTOBER
l and 2.
What's the occasion? Why, can
you imagine? 1t is the date for the
fourth annual Product Orange County
Carnival Product show. For three
years previously Santa Ana has done
herself proud with similar events, put
in the year 1909 Santa Ana proposes TO
eclipse all past efforts and bring with
in her borders thousands more than
have ever had the time of their lives
in the county seat of Orange county
before.
To all the attractions that Santa Ana
entertainers arrange for the entertain
ment of their guests they have added
an automobile race event-in fact, n
series of events that will make the at
fai. on the more than interesting or
der. Just as though 1t was for van
derbilt cup racing event, the commit
tee of hustlers for the Santa Ana event
composed of H. d. COnnell, j. W.
Tubbs. secretary, and Fred A. Ross
set to work and obtained the sanction
of the dealers association for the
racing event and have knocked at the
door of the A. A A. for its approval,
which will undoubtedly be as freely
granted.
And there will be some racing, too,
at that time The entries that may
he made and the prizes offered are as
follows: Two thousand and one DOL
lars and up fifty-mile event, a silver
c11n. value $3.50; $1001 to $4,000, twenty
fiye-mile race, value of cup $780, $6Ol
to $1,000, a fifteen-mile race, value OF
cup $50, and 5000 and under one
mile dash. Then there is to be a cupid
race. free for all. and cup valued at
$25 as the prize.
An Oldsmobile special is on the
program, and it will be hot number
a match race-with the valuable con-
sideration of leather medal.
To add to the interest of the occa-
sion and to give the people taste OF
Alaska weather when they think OF
the car having been through the icy
north the Thomas Flyer that made the
famous New York-toParis winning
race will run an exhibition mile just
to please the attendance and show
some of these neW-fangled machlnes
that a car that could win an interna-
tional race is still in the ring and can
go some. This event will take place at
3 o'clock on the afternoon of October 2.
With a generosity that is commend
able and for the purpose of showing
that the Santa Anaites are not in the
show business for the money there is
in it, an entrance fee of 500 will be de-
manded. But this money will be re-
funded dollar for dollar the moment
the car paying the fee comes to the
scratch for the races.
But this isn't ALL by a long shot All
the automobile dealers that enter Tor
these races will have their cars gar
aged without charge, furnished with
all the gasoline they can use, and the
owners or drivers quartered at the
best hotel and all expenses paid. OF
course there will be large entry list.
The main idea is to get as large a
crowd from Los Angeles at this far
as possible, for Santa Ana and Orange
county are doing noble work in the
"good roads" movement. Everybody
should give the little town with its
10 600 good people a boost. for Santa
Ana has more than 600 automoplies
rieht there. certainly a prolific field for
the automobile dealers of Los Angeles
It will pay to keep their eyes on Santa
Ana.
