TO GRAND FORKS
THIRTY AUTOS WILL MAKE TRIP
TO GRAND FORKS MEETING
OF THE CLUB WAS HELD LAST
EvENINo-WILL FLY REMNANTS
OF FARGO.

Thirty cars will make the run to
Grand Forks tomorrow with the Fargo
Automobile club. This many was as
sured at the meeting of the club last
evening and it is entirely probable
that others machine owners will sig
Nifty their intentions Of going before
the day is over.
At the meeting held last evening the
final arrangements for the big run were
made and it is expected that every
thing will go oss ~ ship shape order.
w. c. Langdon will have charge of the
work getting the cars away and will
direct the drawing of the numbers at
the Gardner hotel, from which place
the tour will start.
Ample provisions will be made at
Grand Forks for the entertainment of
the Fargo delegation. The club has
officially named Hotel Dacotah as the
headquarters Of the organization and
today word was sent to the manager of
the house giving. an estimate OF the
number of people that will be In the
Fargo party. Tomorrow, Immediately
after the cars have lined up, census
of the tour will be made and Jerry
Bacon, the landlord Of the Dacotah,
will then be informed OF the exact
number of the people going on the run.
In this manner everything possible will
be done for the accommodation of the
visiting motor enthusiasts.
Mr.. Langdon is very anxious to have
every car at the Gardner hotel at the
specified time, 1918, when the drawing
for numbers will take place. Fifteen
minutes later the presidents car fol-
lowed by the care of the secretary
and the car of the chairman Of the
tour committee will pull out from their
positions in the line.
1t is hoped that every car making
the run will carry at least one banner
or pennant of the club. New designs
Of a pennant, having on 1t the club
emblem and the name of the city in
large letters, have been received at
Rogers art store, and the pageant
that will leave the city will be gay
one.
CHESHIRE Smith will drive the Path
finder car and will precede the main
body thirty minutes. Flags on posts
will be set out at all turns, the flags
being stationed on the side of the road
that the turn is to be made.
The first stop will be made at Hal
stad on the way up. At Climax
party of the members of the Grand
Forks Automobile club will meet the
local club and accompany the party
into the university city. The local
cars will bunch about a mile out of
Grand Forks, and will enter the up
state town in string closely punched.
George Schas of the Schas garage
will provide the mechanics car for the
for the trip. Two mechanics will be
in this car and it will follow the run
of the other cars. At no time will the
mechanics car pass another car, un-
| less it be with the consent of the
owner of the disabled car. Cars that
are disabled will have to be waited
upon in their turn.
The maintenance Of the speed set will
be adhered to strictly No car will be
allowed to make a speed which is
faster than fifteen miles per hour, on
the average.
Six cars in the run will be officially
1
presidents car, the secretarys car. the
car of the chairman of the tour COM
| mittee will be the official car and will
be so designated. the press car and the
mechanics car will all be indicated.
| The club has invited ex-Gov. e. Y.
Sarles OF Hillsboro to accompany the
Fargo club on the run. 1t is expected
that Mr.. Sarles will join the party at
Halstad going up, and the party will
| come through Hillsboro on the return.
Returning all the cars will go out of
Grand Forks together, In this way a
| good showing will be made by the de-
parting tourists. Some of the local
cars expect to go to other points from
Grand Forks for business reasons, but
those doing so will leave the main
party, and after getting out of the city
may return to the university town.
The time for the return trip was not
decided, but will be determined by
popular consent Sunday morning. 1t
is expected that the party will get un-
der way about 2 o'clock.

the entertainment of the Fargo crowd
