much loved by a real autoist) the cars sped on to the city, entering near Bellwood cemetery and proceed ing up West Barraque drive to the Hotel Jefferson, where the party dis banded for a few hours.
 It was reported that Acting Mayor Stratman, Secretary Brown, of the Little Rock Board of Trade, and a number of other officials had started the trip from Little Rock in the press car. They left later than the first party, but the autoists who met eight miles from the city became impatient and did not wait for the the arrival of the officials. After the entire party had reached the city the "E. M. F. car, driven by Miss Catherine Stinson, in which Judge James Gould and others rode, and the Maxwell driven by Felix Smart and occupied by Mayor w. L. Toney and wife, drove several miles in the country to await the arrival of the Little Rock officials. After brief wait it was found that the car bearing the offi- cials was not coming and the party returned to the city.
 w. N. Trulock, of the Hotel Jeffer- son, placed the rooms of his hostelry at the disposal of the visiting auto ists, and many went there for dinner. In the afternoon the visitors were given ride over the city. The visiting cars and Pine Bluff machines left the Hotel Jefferson about 2 o'clock. On account of limited time the visiting autoists did not drive over the leading thoroughfares of the city, but drove out South Olive street, on the macadam road for a short distance, out West Barraque street and on East and West Second avenues.
 The visit of the autoists may be re- garded as one of the most remark able ever made to this city. Du ing the trip to this city not even a pune tured tire or great mishap befell the tourists. The only trouble that oc- cured while the visitors were in the city was slight tire trouble to the Mitchell "30" driven by A. c. Whit comb The return tip was begun by the visitors about o'clock. All the cars left the city in good condi- tion and no report has reached the city that the return trip to Little Rock was unsuccessful.
 The only lady driver of machine in the entire meeting was Miss Cath erine Stinson, daughter of Mrs. E. B. |Stinson, who is general agent for the '.E. M. F. cars. Miss Stinson is a skilled driver and yesterday handled her car with the greatest ease on the country roads. She made two trips to the country and also made the drive over the city in the afternoon.
