Eight cars Of patnarders, represent

Savannah News and the Brunswick
News, with ramifcations picked up in
the shape of two cars of Massachu-
setts and Atlanta autoists at Bruins
wick, reached this city at $50 o'clock
tnis afternoon despite the fact that
three hours were lost at Owens Ferry
waiting for the tide to rise.
At Kings terry, three cars contain
ing prominent JJacksonyille business
men and representatives of the auto
club of this city met the visitors and
q very warm and cordial reception as
they entered the city this afternoon.
The party reports q very pleasant
trip all the way rom Savannah, and
especially from Brunswick, which was
made a little before o'clock this
morning. All along tine route people
displayed keen interest in the jour
ney. Bridge-keepers at both Owens
Ferry and at Kings Ferry refused to
charge the party the usual tell fees,
and on every hand the very heartiest
treatment was accorded the visiting
boosters.
The Brunswick contingent are all
spending very pleasant evening, are
receiving splendid treatment at the
hands OF the people of Jacksonville,
and but for the unfortunate accident
to the McKinnon car, have had a most
enjoyable and pleasant trip.
The return trip will be made in the
morning, but some CT the Brunswick
party will rsturn by train in order to
make little better time.
