Discussing the Savannah -Darien-
Brunswick Jacksonville endurance
run TO occur on March 5, the follow
ing interesting article appears in the
savannah News of yesterday:
Secretary A. H. Croyatt, of the
Merchants and Business Mems Asso.
cation of Brunswick, will he in Sa-
Vannah the latter part of this week
&c take up with the officials of the
Savannah Automobile club, the mat
ter of the Savannah-Da Darien Bruns-
Wlck-Jacksonville endurance run to
take place April and 6.
There are a number of matters 10
be looked after, such as the arrange
ments for parking the cars in Bruns-
WICK, the hotel accommodations for
The part OF the day and night which
Will be spent there, etc. 1t is to dis
cuss these with the lCcal officials that
Mr.. Crovatt is coming to the city.
Maj T. K. Huger Of brunswick,
one of those who have the Brunswick
end OF the run in charge. has written
TO Secretary Solomon, making a sug-
Sestion regarding the way the cars
are to go into Brunswick. 1t has been
arranged that the pacemaker would
step outside of Brunswick. Darien and
Jacksonville and go in with one un-
broken line. In fact the Jacksonville
club requested that this ARRANGEMENT
prevail so far as that city was con-
cerned
Maj. J. T. Huger, of Brunswick.
that the cars go on to Brunswick as
soon as the ferry over the Altamaha
river Between Darien and Dents Land
ing Is crossed. This will make the
cars go in singly and in small squads.
which 44aJor Huger thinks will give
the Brunswickians a better chance to
look after the occupants of the cars
when they arrive after the long drive
over the dusty roads. This sugges-
ton has been favorably received and
Major Huger will be written that his
suggestion is deemed a good one. and
Will be carried out. In order that the
Brunswick people may see the cars in
one line there will probably be a
parade of the contestants through the
streets of Brunswick the next morn
ing 5efore the start for Jacksonville
is made.
EVerything is beginning to get in
ship shape for the run Reports show
that the condition of the roads is he
ing very much improved The run is
expected tc be a very much more en-
| joyable one than that to Atlanta. The
distances to be made each day are
| much shorter and the rules are much
| easier. AS matter of fact the en-
tire distance to be covered in the two
days is considerably less than that of
the first days run in the Atlanta con-
test
Going to Atlanta, tine contestants
went 1SS miles to Milledgeyille the
first day, while the entire distance to
Jacksonville, in g ing which two days
VIII lie taken, is only t73 miles. The
first days run in the Savannah-Da-
rien Brunswick Jacksonville contest
will be seVenty-fve miles. against
1888 for the first days run in the At
lanta contest. The second days run
in the Sayannah-Darien-Br
jacksonville contest viii be ninety
eight miles, against 116 for the Sec
ond days run in the Savannah to At
lanta contest.
With the run taken in compara-
lively short stages, and broken by
the stops for the ferries. ard the
points CT interest along the way, to-
gether with the beautiful scenery to
be encountered enroute, and the COM
paratively slow rate of speed which
will be maintained, It is expected that
it will be very enjoyable and the larg-
est entered OF any run yet held fly the
Savannah club"
