Telegram, 1.-The s~un-tanned tourists par
tlcipating in the Glidden tour had the most
enjoyable run of the entire Journey on the
run from Kearney, Neb., to this city to-
day. For over 100 miles the way led across
the treeless plains Of western Nebraska
and, Notwithstanding the hot sun and sand,
the trip Of 200 miles was one of pleasure,
the roads, with the exception OF spots
where the trail led across the sands OF
dried up rivers, we're in splendid shape.
In two of these spots near Hershey, Neb.,
teams were required to pull several cars
of small horsepower to the top OF a sand
hill.
The perfect score cars again came
through with clean records, but three ma
chimes which had been ~penalized before,
drew black marks. The New Jewell and
N. p. 100 Moline were assessed one-tenth Of
one point, respectively, for repairing fem
ders which had been broken on high ridge
roads. The No. 10, Glide, drew nine and
six-tenths points for a spring replacement.
The tourists are eagerly awaiting the
entry into Denver tomorrow afternoon,
where they can rest until the starting sig
nal is sounded on Tuesday morning. The
Journey is 2O4 $40 miles in length and ten
hours and fifteen minutes have been al
lowed for the running time. This will be
the third consecutive double century.
