HILO, Jan, 23.-The arrangements
for the automobile race meeting which
is to take place on February %, the
day when the Floral Parade will be
held in Honolulu, have now progress
ed so far that program has been out
lined, and only the minor details re-
main to be attended to. Considerable
interest is being taken in the PROPOSE
hoped that this interest will go SO far
as to induce many private owners to
enter their machines in the events
which are open to them.
The first race on the program will
be for motor cycles, five turns of the
track, or two and half miles. Sew
dictated their intention to participate,
and one or more entries are expected
from Honolulu, as the famous Chiffon
and his associates have been making
several inquiries
The second race will be for small
automobiles, driven by their owners,
over two and a half miles course.
Carl Smith has already agreed to enter
with his Buick and A. A. Wilson with
his Ford, and it is expected that there
will be more entries The prize for
this race will be Stewart speedom
eter
A novelty race will be the third
event on the program. This will be
open for everyone. The contestants
| will first have to run "a foot race over
a fifty yard course. They will then
have to crank their machines, get in
and run once around the track Both
| Carl Smith and A. A. Wilson have
promised to enter this event, while of
the professionals, A. Ruddle and Flynn
| will take part.
| An interesting event will be the
| fourth race, a free for all for small
cars, stripped, over a two and half
| miles course. so far both Ruddle and
| Flynn have entered, and an attempt
| is being, made to get the Won Hamm-
Young Company of Honolulu to send
an entry
| The fifth race will be for owners
| with large cars, over five laps of the
| track, and this will be followed by a
slow race, over half lap of track,
the cars starting at the point of the
circle which is farthest from the
grandstand, in order that the specta-
tors may have "a good view of the fin
isb. The winner will, of course, be the
man who makes the distance in the
longest possible time without stopping
his car Those who have entered so
| far for this event are G. e. Wright,
with a Stoddard Dayton; w. I. Nc
Kenzie, with Thomas; and e. IL.
| Moses, with a Hudson
| An attempt is also being made to
| get ap race with ladies driving, but
| so few Ililo ladies have taken up the
| sport that 1t seems doubtful that such
an event Gamble pulled off.

larly unique and interesting event. 1t
will be match race between ollie
| Shipman on a horse and Ruddle with
a small Buick, with standing start and
around the track once. 1t is figured
that the standing start will give the
horse an advantage at the start which
will give the machine hard work to
catch up, and, furthermore, the ami
NAL will undoubtedly make super
equine efforts when it hears machine
putting right behind it.
The eighth event will be an obsta-
Gle race, where the machines will have
! to run over a serpentine course be-
tweens row of barrels, there being
A item barrels in the row, which. must
'bes passed both coming and return
This is open to all
The last event will be handicap
race for the winners and seconds in
all the other speed races of the day,
| the hanaicaps being taken on the time
made IN the other events This rage
twill rbe OYER, a five mile course, and
will thus be the longest of the day.
n, The prizes for most of the races
have not been decided on as yet, as
| they will to large extent depend on
the number of entries made for each
! event 1t is desirable that entries be
| made as soon as possible, and those
who wish to enter are asked to for
ward their name, with make of car, to
either A. Ruddle or d. Flynn, both of
| Hilo.
