Parade Given Yesterday Morning Be-
fore Machines Left This City-Be-

Made Perfect Record.

NNA q AASAlL 1901, Vi IdIu6I d pOi-
ton of the night, as many of the
visitors were up late, 81 macines
started out from Brunswick yesterday
morning at 8 o'clock on the second
lap of the two days endurance run be-
tween Savannah and Jacksonville. and
according to reports from the Flor
ida city all of the machines reached
that city safely late in the afternoon,
though there were not eighteen of
them still with perfect records as was
the case when they arrived in Bruins
wick Monday afternoon. Still, accord
ing to message received from Jack
sonyille, it is stated that large ma
jority of the machines made the sec
Ond lap equally as successful as they
came to Brunswick which will give
them a clean record, and, though it
will be sometime before the judges
will announce the successful contest
ants, it is believed that ties in each
class will be the result.
Big Parade Here.
All the manchines lined up in front
of the Oglethorpe hotel yesterday
morning at $50 O'Clock and before
starting out for Jacksonville made
short parade over the city, giving the
people of Brunswick an opportunity
to see all of the contestants in line
The parade moved from in front of the
Oglethorpe out Newcastle street to the
A, B & A., terminals, thence the ma
chimes swung into Newcastle street
and came down to Gloucester, thence
to Newcastle and back to the Ogle
thorpe, where a shCrt stop was made,
after which the contestants started on
the steady putting for Jacksonville.
Going out of the city the machines
swung into Reynolds street frem G
and continued down that street to M,
thence to Nodwich and on cat the
shell road. All along the line through
the city crowds stools at various plac-
es and waved good luck to the autos,
on their days trip.
The machines started out of Bruns-
wick on their days journey at mod
crate clip of speed. AS is we'll known
it is not speed race, but an endur-
ance run, but nevertheless good time
is maintained on the run.
Stopped at Owens Ferry
The first stop of any length of time
after leaving Brunswick, was at Ow-
ems Ferry. Adequate ferry facilities
had been provided at that point and
little trouble was experienced in cross
ing. However, after leaving Owens
Ferry the machines straetched out at
longer intervals, as the first cars
across continued on their journey. It
was about an hour difference in the
crossing of the first and last machine.
At Kings Ferry little time was lost,
as the river at this point is not very
wide and special ferries were provid-
ed.
From Kings Ferry to Jacksonville
the running was without incident.
During the day one or two of the ma
chimes experienced accidents, two cf
them, it is stated, being delayed, but
every one of the twenty one had ar
rived in Jacksonville at o'clock last
night.
AS the string Of machines entered
Jacksonville they were met by dele
cation representing the Jacksonville
Club. and escorted by them, they enJ-
cred the Florida metrolois, dust
covered and somewhat fatigued from
the two days trip. During the even
ing the visitors were entertained in
Jacksonville, and the trip was pro-
nounced by all one of the most sue
cessful ever held in the south.
The Return Trip.
The twenty-one machines which
narticipated in the run will be return
ing for the next several days. The
run was officially |completed when
Jacksonville was reached, and, while
some of the cars will start back at
once others will tour parts of Florida,
and if will be a week or more before
I thew will all return. 1t is understood
that two or three of them Will start
out from Jacksonville this morning.
X while eight or ten will come tomorrow
They will all spend a night in Bruins
wick on the return trip, leaving the
following morning fer Savannah. II
is understood that the two Brunswick
machines in the run, both of which
