from out Of town came here to see the

Washington street was pretty well deco
rated. and was thronged With people
equal to circus day.. The scout car,
the first to make its appearances, passed
through just before eleven o'clock.
and shortly before three the others be-
gan to come in Most OF them were
some distance apart. and up to six O'Clock
but thirty-sIx of the seventy seven cars
entered had passed through. Others
passed later IN the evening. several
stopped here over night, and number
did not pass through until the next day
the rams last week making some of the
more southern roads very bad. and ma
terially hindering the run.
Our enterprising 1eWe!er Mr. Cbas w
Brown presented the tourists valuable
souvenirs as they passed through Charles
Town.
One car went over an S-foot embank-
ment near Natural Bridge. and while its
four occupants were not injured. they
had the misfortune to break one of their
front wheels. Several men were injured
near Shepherdstown, and were taken on
to Hagerstown.
This Herald Journal run was the larg.
est ever held on the western hemisphere,
and if all the roads had been like those
through this and other counties of the
Shenandoah Valley the run would have
been splendid from start to finish, rain
