A RACE MEET
IS DECIDED ON
DIRECTORS OF FLORIDA EAST
COAST AUTOMOBILE AssOclA-
TON APPLY FOR SANcTfON-
MORE MONEY NEEDED.

The directors of the Florida East
Coast Automobile Association Thurs
day decided definitely that a tourna-
ment will be held in March on the
famous Daytona Beach race course
under the auspices Of the association,
says the Daytona Gazette-News.
Application has already been made
to the American Automobile Assocfa-
ton for a sanction covering the week
commencing March goth and at the
meeting of the Board of County Com
mfssioners next Monday application
will be made to have that body set
aside the ocean beach for racing pur-
poses are provided by the laws of
Florida.
For seven years the speedfest over
this hard sand course has been the
one real speed event of each wear,
While the monster cars were going
eighty miles an hour On the STRAIGHT
stretches of the Vanderbilt cup course.
the modern juggernauts were speeding
mile after mile faster than one hun
dred miles an hour on the Dayto1a
course. Marriott in a steamer. clipped
off mile faster than 120 miles an
hour.
Fer four years the record Of Mar
riott has never been approached, ana
automobiles began to look on the
performance Of Marriott as being the
limit Of daring and speed. Conse-
quently the Florida East Coast Auto
mobile Association officials decided
some weeks ago that they would not
promote meet this winter. In the
meantime there arrived in America a
200-horse power Benz racer, with
which the noted Hemmery had covered
a mile over the Brooklands track in
England at a faster gait than Marriott
travels in Florida. The monster car
was purchased by the famous Barney
Oldfield and prompted by a desire to
prove the real speed of the car on the
Daytona Beach, Barney wired the cIu',
officials to ascertain if there was a
chance TO have the March meeting
declared on again.
About $500 to $500 more is needed
to carry on the meet and those who
have not vet subscribed may sign the
subscription list with any of the di-
rectoTs of teh association.

STORY OF TWO
NORTHERNERS
LEON ENos, OF CHICAGO, AND
MISS ELIZABETH MOORE, OF
ST. LOUIS, MARRIED AFTER
THREE-WEEKs ACQUAINTANCE.

Three weeks ago today, Leon A.
Enos, linotype operator In the office
of the Chicago American, met Miss
Elizabeth Moore, formerly a school
teacher, Of st. Louis, Mo-, the meet.
Hg taking place aboard the yacht
Waterboy, while the latter, with a par.
ty Of tourists, was en- route to Pen
sandals famed fulf beahh. They were
married yesterday afternoon at the
home of Rev. c. w. Gavin, pastor OF
the First Methodist church of this
city and left last night for New Or
leans, to remain in that city for a
few days. Then they will return to
Pensacola for short stay, after which
they are to return home, as Mr.. and
Mrs. Enos. They will reside in Chi
cago.
Mr.. Enos came here as a tourist,
and had been exceedingly active in
the ranks Of the northern and western
people who are wintering in Pensa-
cola. At the, first meeting for reor-
ganization of the Tourists Club of
Pensacola, Mr.. Enos was present. At
that meeting Miss Moore was persu-
AIDED to act as temporary secretary,
and she would have been elected per-
manent secretary had she not have de.
clined strongly, on. the ground that
she would not prolong her stay in
this city for the winter. She in
tended going elsewhere for the bal.
ance of the season.
Capt. Hardesty was the moving
spirit of the romance. it seems. He
owns and operates the yacht, and
when he takes a party out on the bay
he endeavors to make things just as
agreeable for all as he can, and sees
to 1t that everyone aboard is known
to everybody else. At times he Is
called upon to introduce strangers
from all parts of the country. It was
in the performance CT such a line Of
his expressed duty that he introduced
Mr.. Enos and Miss Moore. Then
Cupid did the rest.
The romance became all the more
pronounced, and Mr.. Enos himself was
about ready to return north. But he
stayed. So did Miss Moore. She
did not leave as early as had been
intended. Then, to cap the climax
the crowd of tourists enjoyed a big
barbecue, and one of the most active
in the preparation of the meats was
Mr.. Enos. And Miss Moore was there.
too. This was some ten days ago.
Then the short courtship, the great
question asked-and answered-and
the beautiful elimination of it all at
the parsonage last evening The wed
ding was quiet affair, and no cards
were issued. An announcement went
to numerous friends in the mails of
last night.

the last order had been entered on
the docket. Fines and costs amounted
to 1898. Eighteen of the cases were
continued, no. pros was entered in the
cases Of eight defendants, six de-
PENDANTS were discharged, and half Il
dozen were bound over to the county
authorities. Fffty-six defendants
pleaded gully.
George Williams, colored, who was
caught by Officer Simmons, and who
was found to have carried a pistol
concealed, was fined 800 and costs.
D. G. Milton and Milton Clopton
both visitors, were arrested for being
drunk by Officers Chestnut and Hoff-
man, and both were found to have ca--
ried weapons concealed. Their cases
were not disposed of yesterday, each
OF them desiring a continuance until
this morning.
1t was noticeable that perhaps IS
per cent Of the defendants were col
ored people, and that the charges
were mostly for fighting and for being
drunk. Very few white people, taken
as comparison, were arrested, and
the majority were new names on the
docket, indiacting that strangers did
not get away without some minor in
