elry, which lasts from daylight to
dawn, preceding the race will have
enough attractive features to occupy
every minute Of what would other
wise be a. long wait, and the novelty
of the affair will appeal to thousands

TO KEEP PUBLIC AWAKE
This is the most stupendous program
of out -of-door entertainment ever con-
ceived in this vicinity to keep the
public awake to witness great auto
mobile race.
Naturally the greatest interest GEN.
ters in the races. The cash prizes run
into the thousands of dollars, the two
big trophies being the Dick Ferris
$1,000 trophy and the Leon T. Shelter
$500 trophy, for the big and light mo-
tor classes. respectively. The Ferris
trophy is one of the most valuable tro-
phies ever put up for any contest
Rv Mr. Shelters deed of gift, his tro-
phy can only be given for an event
where there are no more than two
classes, but for the interest of good
sport Shelter has waived conditions IN
SO far that his trophy will be given
only to the winner IN the 2Sl-SOo ciass,
Leon T. says that he sees nothing
ahead but a heavy financial deficit for
Mr.. Ferris, for the expense OF pulling
off the affair is enormous and for these
reasons only will he allow his cup to
go for the intermediate event.
With q city the size of Los Angeles
and we'll built up suburban towns II
is hoped that the attendance will be
heavy There is not a man In any
of the racing events who is not out
for blood, and as these are races sane
toned by the Automobile Dealers as
sociation there has never been nor can
be any scandal attached to their man
agement.
The class of cars and drivers en-
tered for the Santa Monica race as
sures speedy driving and 1t is conh-
IDENTIFY expected that new WORLDS
record will be made, for the course is
in perfect condition and the cars are
having their practice spins each morn
ing from to o'clock. On the day OF
the race the entire course will be care
fully guarded. affording ample protec-
tion to both drivers and the public.
INCREASED TRANSPORTATION
The Los Angeles-Pacif1c railway will
run three-car trains from Los Angeles
at fifteen minute intervals from mid
Snight to o'clock, and there VIII be
no crowding, for If necessary the COM
pany Is prepared to increase It's ser
vice. For those> who go to the beach
in their machines there is ample park
ing room from which to see the start
and finish of the great races.
