Threatening Weather Cuts Crowd to
Less Than Half.
The pleasure run of local motorists
to Newton today was made according
to schedule, but only about half of the
party took the "trip, owing ito the
threatening weather. UP to last night
thirty-five cars were entered for the
run, but there were only fifteen to
start. The cars were led by A. J.
Clark, chairman of the tours and runs
committee of the local automobile club
The Clark car bore large American
flag from the rear seat, and a Mar
shalltown pennant in front. I. E. Hub
Ter and son, on a tandem motorcycle
also made the trip with the cars.
Aside from the local delegation the
Newton Automobile Club entertained
today motoring parties from Des
Moines. Grinnell. Pella, Monroe. KEEL
logg, Baxter, Colfax, Prairie City
Sully. Lynnville, Laurel, and Oska-
loosa.
Aside from the danger Of rain the
weather proved ideal for the "trip: A
light rain during the day, to lay the
dust, would make the return trip home
even more enjoyable.
