Thieves only one condition that can
dampen the enthusiasm of the Decora-
ton Day automobile race meet, and
that's the weather
Interest gets little hotter every
morning. In order to secure safety to
the racers not more than three ma
chimes will be allowed to enter any
fast race. Owners who put off TO the
last minute making entry Will prob
ably find themselves barred on this
account. Every precaution will be
taken to prevent accident. All day
long the machines are being tried out
on the half-mile track TO get ac
uuainted with the curves.
The real race Of the day promises
TO be between J. C. Jensen and ]. w.
Duflin. They have entered the third
race for cars costing between $1,000
and $4,000. Jensen's is a 80 horse
power Cadiallac. Duffin's a 16 horse
power Buick Both are capable of
speed in excess of 30 miles an hour.
The race for big cars is still under
fire. Denny Smyth still is proudly
defiant. In the parade you will not
Ice that the pennant colors have been
selected with some idea of showing
respect TO Mr.. Smyth. His Packard
motor sings a song when under speed
that is music to every lover of a good
car and it is hoped to hear it in this
event
The automobile parade forms on
Washington avenue between 25th and
26th streets at 1;30 on Monday. Ev-
cry owner is expected to have his car
in the parade and to carry the o. A.
c. pennant. The color is dark green
with white letters. Get two made.
Every morning between and o.
clock bashful drivers may be seen
trying out"
