than that of the other Atlantians in last
years tour.
William OldlSnow is the only one of
the 1909 tourists who says he can't go.
He almost weeps as he admits it.
I've been making all my plans to 60
this fall" says he, in mournful tones.
"Only last Friday 1 was talking with
Stoddard about it, and we were getting
together on our arrangements. But this
June start knocks me into cooked hat.
wouldn't miss 1t for worlds. I'm sick
about it, But my business (the AlcaZar
and Savoy moving picture theatres) is
heaviest right at that time. l just can't
get away"
LAMBERT WILL BE THERE.
w. s. McNeal. Jr., head of the South
thern Auto and Equipment company,
agency for the Lambert, says he wouldn't
think of missing the opportunities of
the trip.
You can put me and the Lambert
down right now, or as quick as the en-
tries OPEN
Mr.. McNeal, whose statement was
given to The Journal early Monday morn
ing, becomes the first dealer to line up
for the run. But he enters, he says,
the Summers Buggy company, Barnes
vile, telegraphs his sentiments
straight to The Journal.
SOMETHING GREAT.
"You are giving US something great
he wires. Il am pulling every string to
join you on June l."
Col w. i. Peel, president of the Amer
lean National bank. notifies The Jour
nal to count him in till he has to
withdraw "And I'm going to stay in if
1 can possibly rearrange my plans"
he adds with emphasis. Mrs. Peel was
with the colonel in last years tour, and
has always said she enjoyed 1t more than
any other outing she ever had.
r. E. ODonnelly, head of the Keely
company, is one Of the sure and certain
entries. Mr.. O'Donnelly states that
there is no doubt about his being In the
run. Mr.. O'Donnelly made the high way
trip last year from Atlanta TO New
York, just before the good roads tour,
carrying a party of friends upswith him.
He says .-.e same car, his Packard, will
carry him through in the 1910 tour.
A CHARLOTTE ENTRY.
A Burwell, Jr., of Charlotte, a men,
her of last years tour, wires The Jour
nal:
will surely be with you. Enter me un-
der the same number Jnat L had last
year"
Mr. Burwell, who is one of Charlotte's
most active cotton mill men, drove a
Premier in the 1888 tour, and came
through to Atlanta with a perfect score.
His entry from Charlotte so quick after
the announcement means that others
from there will be in the run.
Z. RIVERS WILL BE INIT.
E. Rivers is another certain entrant.
I'm In with my Pierce Great Arrow
as" he declared Monday morning. ct
am more enthusiastic over the plans for
this big run than / have been over any
thing in months. l wouldn't be out of it
for anything l know of, I'm sure. I'm
already arranging things to get away"
Mr.. Rivers was in the 1909 tour as a
guest of J. Lee Barnes.
Mr.. Barnes is another of last years
vets who's in line again. He says the
announcement has caught him with
surprise, but he won't miss the run II
it is possible for him to get in.
Colonel John j. Woodside. with Mrs.
Woodside and their son, was one of the
most enthusiastic members Of last years
tour He's going to be in again this year
he said Monday morning.
COLONEL WOODSIDE, TOO.
IF we leave on June 1 it will inter
fere slightly with some plans we've
made" said he, but I'm practically sure
right now that we will be in the run
Mrs. Woodside said last year that she'd
never had a better time in her life, and
she is more than pleased at the idea of
going again"
Colonel Woodsides new car, a 100
horsepower Thomas, will-if he enters
be probably the biggest car In the tour.
1t is a magnificent machine, specially
built, replacing the horsepower
Thomas with which he came through
from New York last year.
Numbers of other Atlantians are high
ly enthused over the plans for the tour.
The announcement in Sundays Journal
was the talk of Atlanta and the south,
Sunday. Every hour new developments
arise to show the very positive favor
which the tour is firing on all sides.
Nothing like It has been launched for
long time. Apparently the whole south
is behind it. Dispatches from other cit
les and towns tell of enthusiasm.
