TWO MORE WINNING
 CARS HAVE ARRIVED OHIO AND KISSELkAR COME OVER ROUTE OF BIG
 RACE.
Drivers Say That Roads Are in Bad Condition and Do Not Look For as Good Time as Was
 Made Last Year.

On6 Wltn q twisted axle ana the other with a dislocated tonnau, the Ohio and Kisselkar arrived in PhOe- nix last evening, having come over the route of the Los Angeles to
 Phoenix road race The drivers of both machines declare that the road
 is in fearful condition. Harvey Her
 rick, who piloted the Isotta last year,
 declares that the road is in worse
 shape than it was. then, while Ross
 Renwood and Dick Graeme of the
 Ohio say that the race will not be
 won in less thirty hours.
 The Kissel, in charge of Herrick and with O. w. Kern as mechanician,
 pulled out of Los Angeles Thursday
 morning and the Ohio did not leave
 until Thursday night. They arrived
 in Phoenix at almost the same time.
 The Kissel's tonnau was jared loose
 when it passed over a particularly rough place on the desert, while the
 Ohio had its accident five miles west of town, on the Yuma road. Henwood was driving and Graeme was sitting in the ether seat, holding
 between his knees the big spotlight,
 which had been accidentally torn ! loose from its brackets. The other
 lights Were not working. else the ac- cident would not have occurred Hen ! wood missed a bridge across an ir- rigating ditch, one front wheel drop ping into the ditch on one side. The car stopped but Graeme kept on gO- ing, carrying the spotlight, cushion
 ane other paraphernalia with him. He swears he went forty feet and Henwood agrees with him. Henwood also says that Graeme rammed his head through the glass of the lamp but Graeme himself says that he used his features to blow furrOw
 in the Yuma road.
 An examination of the car disclOs-
 ed the fact that the front axle was l twisted but not so badly that the Ohio could not run into town on it's own power. The axle will be re- placed before the machine is again taken out of the Standard garage. The KisseTkar which Herrick and
 Kern brought is not the one entered
 in the race. It is nothing more than
 stock car. which they took right
 
 Kissc,kar agency, removing only the
 muffler and lenders. After the back end of the tonnau was jared loose
 it was tied down with a rope. Other
 wise the Kisselkar was in fine shape
 upon its arrival It will be left here for the use of tho coast agent for the Kissel, who , will be in Phoenix during the fair. Herrick and Kern will go back by rail in three or four
 days.
 A new axle will be put on the
 Ohio and the car will be shipped
 back to Los Angeles about Thursday.
 'Is the road better or worse than last year?' Herrick was asked by
 The Republican.
 Better in some places and worse in others" he replied. 'On the whole I think it's worse
 T never went over any worse road than that between Phoenix and
 Buckeye" said Dick Graeme of the Standard garage, local agency for the Ohio, who will act as HenwoOd's
 mechanician in the race. The dust
 and chuck holes are something one can't appreciate until he has gone
 through them with an automobile. OfN course the roads are bad the other | side of Buckeye but they aren't any thing like they are this side" I've passed over some bad roads | in my time" said Henwood, digging for a boulder in the northwest cor ner of his near eye, but say, you can put me down as saying that when it comes to bad roads that be- tween here and Buckeye is the limit That beyond Buckeye isn't as bad as | some that I have driven over, but l this side is the worst yet" -Henwood and Graeme say that no car will go over the route in less than thirty hours but w. D. Ire | maine, who will drive the Pope Hartford and who claims to know | the road better than any other driver l in the race, bet Graeme five dollars | that he would cover the distance in | less than twenty hours.
 | Tremaine took the Pope almost to the Hassayampa yesterday, meeting both the Kissel and Ohio. The Pope came back without nut or bolt 1 loose or a tire flat
 President George Purdy Bullard of the Automobile club took Ralph | HamIin. the Franklin driver who ar rived Saturday night, down into the west end of the valley yesterday and showed him the route from the Agua | ra,, md
