The entire population of FL Centre,
Imperial and hundreds from the near
by city of Brawley gathered in FL
Centre at o'clock this morning To
witness the arrival and departure of
the racing cars in the fifth annual
Los Angeles to Phoenix auto race.
The first car TO arrive in FL Centre
was the Franklin, driven by Ralph
Hamlin The Franklin seemed to be
in excellent shape, and spent only
three minutes at the FL Centre check
ing station. Hardly had the big car
swung out of the control when il was
seen coming back to FL Centre. Ham
lin had hit the FL Centre railroad
crossing at a sixty mile hour clip,
with the result that he smashed a rear
right spring Hamlin drew into the
Central garage at FL Centre at min
utes past and did not leave until 2
minutes past 9. In the meantime the
National had checked in and was on
its way, spending less than three min
utes at the checking point. The Ma
tional arrived at Il minutes and 30
seconds after s, and had margin on

Stearns before he reaches Yuma.
Roger Stearns. driver of the Stod-
dard. gave us the first official report
Of the wreck of the Maxwell. Stearns
said: Il stopped the car near Lemon
Grove when / heard Klaxon horn
blowing strenuously. ! turned back
and found the Maxwell overturned,
with Clarence Smith weakly endeavor
ing to turn the car up and Mechanic
Earl Fancher under the wreck. Fam
was unconscious when we lifted the
car off him. While myself and my me-
Bill Harris, were working on
the Maxwell, Ralph Hamlin in the big

lead / was sorry to see the car shoot

FL Centre at 43 minutes and 10 sec
Onds after S. Fred Fuller was at the
wheel and received a tremendous ova-
ton from the crowd at Ell Centre.
All the way through Hanshue stated

THE sUNkEN CITY

Hark, the faint bells of the sunken
city
Peal once more their wonted ev-
ening chimes
From the deep abysses floats ditty
Wild and wondrous. of the olden
time.
Temples. towers and domes of many
stories
There lie buried in an ocean grave
Undescried. save when their golden
glores
CLEAN. at sunset. through the light
ed wave.
And the mariner who had seen them
glisten
In whose ears those magic bells
do sound,
Night by night bides there TO watch
and listen.
Though death turks behind each
dark rock round
So the bells of memory's wonder
city
Peal for me their old melodious
chime:
So my heart pours forth change
ful ditty,
Sad and pleasant. from the bygone
time.
Domes and towers of castles. fancy
buiided
There lie lost to daylight's garish
beams
There lie hidden till unveiled and
gilded,
Glory-gilded. by my nightly dreams
And then hear ] music sweet up-
knelling
From many a wellknown phantom
band,
Ana. through tears. can see my nat
ural dwelling
Far off in the spirits luminous.

ANOTHER Ell CENTRIC STORY.

Ell CENTRIC, Nov. 5.-Before L
O'Clock this afternoon eleven of the
racers i'm the Los Angeles to Phoenix
automobile contest had passed through
Ell Centre. The arrival of the cars
was witnessed by a large crowd from
all parts of the Imperial valley. The
checking point here was surrounded
by hundreds of spectators. The sched-
uled arrival of the cars here was:

started on the run to CaleXico, and
had to turn back into garage, losing
half an hour The Flanders. which
was seventh out of Los Angeles, was
also seventh here. Two hours were
lost by Ferguson's Buick at a point
twelve miles east of Campo by neces-
sary replacing of magnetic. Engine
troubles delayed the Cole in Devirs
canyon. The Maxwell lost time by
running into Imperial instead of FL
Centre. and had to double back TO
reach the official checking point.
Forty miles an hour was maze py

the desert sands from the canyon
mouth to the west side of the canal.
The Mercer went out before that dam

a short stop proceeded towards Yuma.
