The committee appointed at the

preparation of 500 for the entertain
ment Of the Florida autoists who will
be in the city next week, yesterday
conferred with the members of tne
finance committee and other mem
bers of council, and it was practically
agreed that the sum would be appro-
priated.
Owing to the fact that council does
not meet again before Thursday
night, it was impossible for the COM
mittee to appear before the solons
at a regular session, so they decided
to see each member individually and
a majority CT the aldermen We're seen,
and all of them readily signified their
willingness to make the necessary ap-
preparation.
The committee will now go ahead
and arrange for the entertainment of
the visitors. At a meeting to be held
later in the week, a tentative pro-
gra will be arranged 1t is expected
that quite pleasant little time will
lie prepared for the Florida guests,
though just what will be arranged is
not as yet known.
AS stated a few days ago, it is eX-
pected that there will be between
forty or fifty cars in the city and
each of them will carry four or five
passengers.
The Jacksonville Times-Nnion OF
Yesterday, in discussing the propDs-
ed run, says:
There was an elth lsi,,stic meeting
held last night at 3 O'clock in the au-
ditoriJm at the board of trade, when
the Jacksonville Automobile club met
fol the purpose of do uE sllE the lack
sCnville-BrunS wicE-Savannah cndur-
arce run.
The meeting was called to order by
Dr. w. M. Stinson, president of the
club and the following members were
present: M. D. Johnson, A. S. Albrit-
ton, Herbert B. Race, l.. c. oliver,
George F. Bensel, D. II. Mcmillan,
Forrest J. Hyde, Hobart c, taG=,
Porcher LEngle, Charles A. Clark, @
p Havens, c. H. Barnes, Jr., Dr.. E
NJ. Sanderson, Roy Corbett, F, w.
King, ]. o. Walton, Francis J. Conrry
and President w. M. Stinson.
Every detail concerning the run was
fully discussed. 1t was decided that
the fifty CT more cars would leave the
city hall at o'clock on Tuesday
morning, June Z, following the route
laid out by the confetti car" which
will proceed the contestants by a few
hours.
Tuesday, June Z, is election day
and as the polls open at Z o'clock, it
was agreed that the time for leaving
jacksonville he made one hour later
thus enabling all the entrants to cast
their vote before starting on the run.
At s O'Clock however, the auto
lists are ten1eet on the Forsyth street
side of the city hall, and be properly
numbered and designated by the COM
mittee composed of DR.. w. NJ. Stinson
chairman, F. W. King, Charles A.
Clark and DR. e. NJ. SandersCn. 1t
is probable that DR.. Stinson will
act in the capacity of pacemaker.
The committee on rules have not as
vet reported. although the salient fea-
tures of the run have been drafted
and submitted and practically accept
ed.
At the meeting last night there was
much enthusiasm displayed by eac1
member present. There was great
discussion as to every detail connect
ed with the trip. 1t was the opinion
of every member of the club that the
run would be the greatest and most
successful one ever undertaken by
the local organization,
In April the Savannah club came to
Jacksonville about t1irty-fiye strong
and the ran was acclaimed success.
But the conditions that now prevail
as to the condition of the roads are
vastly different They have been I'M
nroved in every county through which
the route to Savannah leads.
The jacksonville club will offer
prize-a cup-the equivalent or Whlch
will he $500. The Times-Union mas
also donated a magnificent silver sup
and with the trophy offered by thf
Savannah Automobile club there VIII
no every incentive to the contestants
to win out in the long race
