INTERVALS BRIEF.

For various reasons the intervals
between the cars was not always the
same In some cases it was one
minute, and in others two. In only
one instance was it as high as four
and that was between the American
Simplex and the Renault.
1t was a busy scene along Penn
sylvania avenue and E street this
morning, but it was even buster for
awhile earlier than that around the
Warner garage, 1904 New Hamp-
shire avenue, where the cars had
been stored since their inspection
by Ofhcial Referee Frank H. Trego
and DR.. J. H. Overpeck and Jesse L.
Cassard. his associates on the tech
nical committee. Drivers and OBJ
servers had strict orders to report
there at a. m. to rake out their
cars and to receive a last word OF
advice and warning from the referee.
Were they late in reporting? Not
so the officials could notice il. On
the contrary, there was a gathering
of auto enthusiasts around the place
all night, and the talk reminded a
casual hearer OF that heard around
racing stables on the night before a
big race
The diamond horseshoe pins and the
Plald "alsteoatS were not so prominsns
