ENDURANCE RACERS HOME
Cars Come Along Before Dark After
Hard Run.
CHILLY FOR SOME OF THE RIDERS
Cold wave Comes After they Leave
Omaha and when They Are
Not Prepared for such
weather.

The White machine. driven interchange
ably by Il. A. Mockett and G.. A Sadler
was the first TO cross the finish line OF
the first annual endurance run OF the
Omaha Motor club.
IL was just 4:2S o'clock Friday afternoon
when the machine speeded UP Harvey
street and was checked in at the Paxton
Mitchell garage by President Ole Hibner
OF the Motor club, who had that work in
charge The leading car was followed
closely by the huge Franklin driven by Guy
L. Smith and b. c. Russell, which checked
in officially at 4:27. Almost all Of the re-
naming machines had checked in by 6
o'clock, at which time there were only
three cars out These came in later in
the evening, being well scattered.
AS rapidly the cars we're checked in
they were washed and parked upon the
south side Of Harvey street, where they
will remain until o'clock this morning,
at which time they are to be delivered
over to the Technical committee, with Otto
c. Nestman at its head, for a thorough ex-
animation. Absolutely no information is
accessible yet as to the standing Of the
cars. Said President Hlbner at late hour
last night: 1T will be tomorrow evening,
at least, before we are able to announce
'''aNA NoNa hao Nuii Nlt uAltIOhA hOphAbS'
1 do not even know yet II any OF the cars
came through with perfect score"
Women Come in Late.
Miss Bessie Amos aud her party in
the Chalmers 80" were the next
to the last to arrive at the fin
lsh line, checking in at 6;57. on this
account the plucky young woman in whom
so much interest has been felt and whose
late finish was due to tire troubles near
Fremont, missed the applause which would
have been hers had she arrived earlier in
the evening. Throughout all the trouble,
and despite tho delay in arriving, the feni-
nine autolst showed the stoicism which is
supposed to characterize automobile drivers
of the sterner sex,
The motor truck, which has also attracted
a lot of attention along the way, will not
arrive in Omaha until this morning. Just
out of Columbus one Of the smaller chains
in the mechanism broke and although the
break was not a serious one 1t was decided
to lay over in Columbus for the night.
This giant machine, by stealing a march
on the faster cars in the morning, and
running at unheard of hours Of the night,
has managed to keep we'll in the running
and had it not been for the accident would
undoubtedly have finished last night.
OF the cars which started the Cole 30
driven BY Fay Knott. and the Chalmers
driven by e. H. Sprague and John Part
hurst, retired from the race, the former
on account of broken steering knuckls
and the latter on account of a broken axle
The remaining cars finished. 1t was the
J irony of fate that the little Maxwell which
, so majestically headed the procession wher
! 1t left Omaha, should be the last to cross
the finish line, it being well into the might
before the little car reached the garage.
The motorists are all enthusiastic abou
the run and between nursing the newt,
sunburned faces and telling how 1t feel
! to crank up on winter-Hke morninl
| hundreds Of miles from the source o.
supply and with only summer clothing
. they declared their intention of pulling Of
similar run next year. Otto P. Nestman
who has managed the tour reports tina
upon the first day the roads, especially ii
: the neighborhood of Nebraska City wer
very muddy and that on the second day
run considerable aumbo was struck. Fri
days route is said, however, to have laii
e along ideal roads and the fast time made
