Will be given to each entran;, the
run VIII be made to Newport News
at a given average rate of speei per
hour. the speed rate to be announced
later l;y maintaining this average
throughout the run, the cars will keep
close to the speed fixed upon BY
the promoters.
Delays on the road from various
causes Will be noted by the contest
ants on cards furnished for the pur-
pose, giving exact time consumed by
delay, and the cause of the same.
Time Of leaving Richmond and time
of arrival at Newport News mas he
noted n spaces on cards. The actual
time consumed in making the run
will be computed from these figures.
The tina consumed in the various
delays will be allowed to the con-
testant. SO that he will not be obliged
to 'scorSh" in order to reach his
destination by a certain time. Ac-
tual running time only is taken into
consideration, not the total inns or
the road. To really enjoy a run Of
this kind speeding is not to be in
dulged In .foi arrival at destination
too early Is Just as bad az ayriNal
too late.
Cars will be divided into two
classes. touring cars and runabouts.
The former has a tonneau and capa-
city for four or more passengers. AS
runabouts are classed all cars OF two.
three or four passenger capacity,
without tonnean. Touring cars to
carry at least four passengers. and
runabouts to carry at least two pas
senReTs., OF ballast at the rate of la5
pounds per passenger.
Four prizes in all are offered. one
first and one second in each class
The car making the run In the near
est approximate time to the time es-
tablished. In each class Is the WIN
ner for that class; the second best
time. in each class, wins the second
prize. OF the two firsts. the one most
closely approximating the set time
will have first choice Of the first
prizes. the other frst pirze to 60 10
the first in the other class. The Sec
ond prizes will be awarded in the
same way.
Drivers will see that all blanks are
filled out on their running cards so
that the referee can make his report
soon after the run Is finished.
1t Is hoped that the members OF the
party will not lose sight Of the fact
that IN this case the fest one to ar
rive may lose his chance OF winning
by getting In too early.

Mr. Il. c. Pelouxe. who made a

In the sandy stretches clay 10 beiug

necessary.
For four miles out from Seven
Pines," said Mr.. Pelouze last night,
the road Is as good az you will fnd
anywhere. At this point. however,
1t narrows. and there are few
rough spots between this and Bot.

ANOTHER CITY CAPTURED BY THE
CHINESE REBELS. CAUGHT IN TRAP
Chang Chow $50 Miles North Of Hankow is in the Hands
of the Revolutionists, Giving Them Strong Strate
gic Position; Official Slain

Shanghai, China, Oct, 25.--The cap
ture of Chang Chow by the revolution
lists was announced in dispatches
which reached this city shortly after
noon today.
From strategic point of view this
city should prove Of great value to the
revolutionists. 1t is the junction OF
the Kai-Fung and Pekin-H Hankow rail
roads, and is located ESQ miles north OF
Hankow. Its capture apparently cuts
off from Pekin all the imperial troops
now gathered around Hankow and Wu.
Chang.
Todays news from the lower Yang
Use valley was all discouraging to the
government. With Kiu-Kiang In un.
disputed possession Of the rebels, the
imperial fleet has retreated down the
river, some of the vessles being re-
ported as far west as Wu-Hu. Condi.
tions are ominous not only In Wu-Hu
but also in Marking.
The tao-tai Of Shanghai today be-
came so alarmed over the possibility of
the secession of the native city to the
rebels that he removed his household
to the foreign settlement. The tao
tai of Marking has also put himself
under the same protection.
Revolutionary agents here announced
today that the insurgents expect
to establish their headquarters at Kiu-
Kiang, which will probably be the
revolutionary capital.
Yuan Shi Kai. who refused accept
ance of the governments command to
put down the rebellion, is everywhere
regarded as the man of the hour In
China. It is limited he may be induced
soon to give the rebel cause his active
support against the Manchu dynasty.
