Arriving in Cadillac so from
Savannah at p. n. yesterday, Hon,
P. A. Holt ard J. Ira Gore are at the
Oglethorpe enroute home, Jackson
Vile. These gentlemen passed
through the city the early part of the
week in company with the party Of
Jacks nville auto enthusiasts who
took part in the endurance run to Sa-
vannah. AS it required the best part
OF two days and as long to return,
Messrs. Holt and Gore yielded to the
charms of the Forest City by spend
ing q couple of enjoyable days there.
They, therefore, did rot leave Sa-
vannah until yesterday morning at
7,45 o'clock. The return crip is prov

made in little over five hours, two
and a half hours of the time was con-
sumed by crossing the Altamaha river
