To-Day's Program.
Tho start tomorrow morning Will
be made at o'clock from in front of
the Yarbrougt Hotel. The route Will

them on.
There has been no lack of escorts.
The endurance runners have been met
by automobile parties near every city.
AL willingness TO help has been shown.
Counting the pilot car and the non
contestant Speedwell ~of Louis Rosen-
stock. of Petersburg, there are still
fourteen cars In the run. IT is rather
peculiar fact tina. Mr., Rosenstock
whose car is being driven by Charles
Romano, did not expect to take part
in the run. Hs.met the party a short
distance out of Petersburg and has
not left it since. He was persuaded to
go a little further, a little further. and
now he is here, and Will not reach
Petersburg until Friday.
