The promoter and its chief spirit was
Ross Henwood, captain OF the Ohio
forces He kept every one in good
humor during the tour. At West Point,
the first day out. HenwOod originated
the club. which took its name from the
fact that everyone connected with it
paid - cents a day in dues. 7 his
money was expended for smokers, din
ners. and other entertainments en-
route. which kept the tourists il good
humor- \ cOIored ribbon for each day
was the insignia Of the organization.
There was a fine Of 20 cents for every
member @Vho did not wear his ribbon
Oficers of Club.
E. L. Ferguson was elected president
OF the organization. and James Hem
street. a member Of the technical com
mittee, its treasurer; Lewis Strang, the
racing pilot, was the chief booster. The
life and spirit Of the organization was
Ross HelwoOd, who presided at meet

The Official cars under the charge
Of Mr.. Reeves were CONSPICUOUS for their

assigned them
An Efficient Test.
The 8sunsev Historic Tour was a
most successful test of what - car can
do Under normal conditions, without
beins. simply a test CT a drivers endUr-
ance,f' said Mr. Reeves w nile the
road conditions in places were as CiftI-
cult as have been found on almost all
tours the DAYS mileage was not SO ex-
/ esssive as 70 compel a driver TO start
of the next morning Without having a
chance 10 obtain a proper amount OF
sleep ana In that way gave him some
regeneration
THUS II was a test Of automobiles
and not men ! have been on tours
where the route led over pathless
prairies and through sWamps and
roads that were merely trails and
where the drivers were laboring IN
der such a strain that IL was a physi-
cal impOSsibilfty for the men TO give
their machines the necessary atten-
ton that would bring out the best
there was in them. Owing also to the
lengthy mileage OF the days run tbs
strain on the man was increased
The Munsey Tour was such an
event as 20 allow the drivers 10 get
a proper amount Of rest and permit
them to give proper attention to their
machines. so that the results are an
actual demonstration Of just what the
machines entered in il are capable of
doing
None So Satisfactory
There is no tour IN which I have
entered where the management and
the work Of the officials have been
so thorough, so prompt and so highly
satisfactory as in this event M
Ferguson, the referee. had the scores
computed and posted on the official
bulletin board within two hours after
the checking in OF the last car This
was an extraordinarily satisfactory
thing TO the drivers and mana gers Of
the teams entered in the contest, and
perhaps more than anything else
helped 10 make the tour enjoyable"
