BRUNSWICK WILL
GIVE A WELCOME
To THE AUTOISTs
PROGRAM TO BE ARRANGED run
ENTERTAINMENT OF THE
MANY VISITORS.
People Will Be Asked to Come OUT
=. and Line Along Gloucester Street 10
Show Visitors That They Are We'll
come on Big Endurance Run.

While no definite plans nave yet
been arranged and while the matter
has only been discussed informally, 1t
is certain that Brunswick will ar
range a great welcome for the hun
dred automobiles and their occupants
when they arrive in this city on the
Savannah Brunswick Jacksonville en-
durance run, which will be the first
week in April, just little over a
month.
Plans for the welcome are now be-
ing discussed by those who have all
along taken the initiative in securing
this run, which, at one time, had
probability Cf going to Jacksonville
via a different route That the many
visitors will be given a royal greet
ing when they enter the city, or rath-
er when they swing into Gloucester
street out of Glynn avenue, is one
of the plans on foot. Every person IN
the city will be invited to line Glcu-
cester, all the way from Newcastle
to the Boulevard, and each will be
requested to assist in the welcome.
One or more large banners, 1t is plan
ned, will be stretched across the street
at various points, welcoming the au-
toists to the city, while hundreds OF
people who will be out to. see the
many handsome machines, will join
in a noise-making to show the visitors
that Brunswick is interested in the
great move and is anxious to assist
in building a first-class auto road be-
tween Savannah and Jacksonville.
According to the announced plans
the machines will all enter the city
together They will be transporter
from Darien to Dents one and two
at a time and all will wait until the
entire number is across, when the
run will be made to this city. The
machines will be stretched along the
road at intervals OF about fifty yards,
and, with 100 in in the run, the line
will be quite long one and will nn-
questionably be the largest number
of automobiles seen together in tn S
section of the country After reach
ing Brunswick the machines VIII
come down Gloucester street and turn
into Newcastle, the front ma2h:"e
stopping in front OF the Oglethorpe
hotel. waile the others will line along
the street for many blocks AtFtr be-
ing officially welcomed to the CRY,
the autos will be pIr Up for the night,
while the many visitors will he en-
tertained probably at large banquet
to be given at the Oglethorpe at night.
The start to Jacksonville will be made
the following morning at O'Clock.
The plan suggested above as to the
welcome is very coed one and IL
is to be hoped that it will be carried
out. Hundreds of people could easily
line Gloucester street. and, besides
assisting in extending a royal wei
come. they would SEE a very unusual
and pretty sight
1t is probable that u special COM
mittee will be appointed within the
next few days for ARRANGING all de-
tails in connection With the run, ana
the oiIici3l program VIII be announc-
ed within few weeks
According to the latest statement
of Secretary Solomon, of the Savan-
nah Automobile Club, there will be
100 machines in the run. New en-
tries are being made daily and some
of the largest and coastliest macn mes
in the south will be in the line
Another matter which will soon 1e-
ceive attention is the entering CT two
or three machines from Brunswick.
This city should certainly be repre-
sented in the line, and the chances
are that two or three will go over to
Savannah a day or two before the rln
and make the trip all the way to
