HUNDRED AUTOS
WILL Be IN RUN
SAYS SOLOMON
ENDURANCE RUN IN APRIL TO BE
GREATER SUCCESS THAN
WAS EXPECTED.
Every Day Letters Are Recs.v.d from
Various Auto Owners anc compan-
les Announcing That They Will En-
ter Machines ia the Rur.

Instead of fifty machines in the Sa-
Vannah- -Brunswick-Ja Jacksonville endur-
ance run, as was first expected, Sec
retary Solomon, of the Savannah club,
now estimates that there will he one
hundred machines in the run. In dis
cussing the affair yesterday the Sa-
vannah News said:
Secretary A. W. Solomon of the
Savannah Automobile club announces
that he expects 100 entries in the
Morning Savannah Automobile
club endurance run to Brunswick and
Jacksonville April 4.
''Mr. solomon, who has been on q
still hunt during the last several
days feeling out the dealers and some
of the individual owners, is sure his
optimistic feelings in regard to the size
of the entry list in the run to Flor
ida is not without good foundation. Mr..
Solomon has already ferreted oat
thirty nine entries for the run and
does not include in his figures many
OF the individual owners who are en-
thusiastic over the contest.
'sT. A. Bryson leads the list so far,
having promised six entries from his
garage. Mr. Bryson says he will en-
ter two Hudsons, three Chalmers-D De-
troits and a packard.
.The Maxwell Agency comes sec
ond, with a promise of five entries.
These will consist of four Maxwells
and Hupmobile.
"R. V. Connerat promises four en-
tries, to consist of three Bucks and a
Peerless.
''The Graham Automobile company
will enter two cars, an E. M. F. and a
Stoddard- Dayton.
''The Savannah Taxicab company
will face the starter with two of the
cars for which it is the agent here,
a Carter car and Crawford
Steve Harris of the Harris Tire
company announces he will put in two
Stevens -Duryea cars.
''The Cole Motor Car company will
enter two Cole cars.
e. Moyle promises a triple entry,
to consist of two Overland cars and
a Speedwell.
George Mouro promises an Acme
entry.
"Dr. H. Freeburg will enter Pierce
Arrow.
"The Savannah Automobile COM
pany will enter at least one Cadillac.
"This runs the total entry promised
by the dealers to twenty nine. Mr..
Solomon says he has talked to but a
few of the private owners, but finds
the enthusiasm high among them and
he expects that with the addition of
few more from the dealers, the en-
tries from private owners will easily
run the total up to 100.
ut is now practically settled that
the run will take place April 4. Mr..
Solomon has made inquiry about the
tides at Darien, where the longest
ferry of the trip will be met WITH and
learned that high tide will be at 9
minutes after 2 o'clock. The ferry is
practicable for four hours before high
tide and three hours after. This will
allow the run to be made April with
the greatest ease.
"The run from Savannah to Dar-
len is calculated to take three and a
half hours A half hours stop will
be made at the Midway Church, MAX
ing four hours between Savannah and
Darien. The start will probably be
made from Savannah at $50 o'clock
in the morning, making the arrival OF
the first cars at Darien at l2.3O
O'Clock. i'N'
THE cars will be carried across the
ferry while the contestants are at
dinner, and most of the contestants
will take the ferry at o'clock. Across
the ferry everybody will start even
and the arrival at Brunswick will take
place about O'Clock. The night Will
be spent at Brunswick, after winch
the start for Jacksonville will be made
next morning"
