when asked about II last night. IL is
the greatest automobile boom that has
ever struck Washington. Nearly every
city in the country is anxious for TINS
event. and to say that / am pleased
that Washington should be-. fortunate
enough to get it is putting il mildly. We
Will. Of course. have to alter some of
our plans slightly, in the way Of hold
ing a floral parade and carnival. but that
can be very easily done. for these are
as Yet in the embryOni" stage ! cannot
say positively at present whether or not
the club will donate a cup but Nc are
and this matter can be- taken up then
and disposed Of in ample time
Greatest thing in the automobile lin"
that ever struck Washington said Cant
Ted Johnston, of the club. yesterday
We certainly will make the GliddenurS
remember Washington and its AutOUo-
bile Club. II will not materially affect
our plans for the series Of events the
club intends pulling off. Instead Of hold
ing the floral parade directly after Easter
We no doubt will now postpone il until
a day of two before the start Of the
big trip. All Of the contestants and par
tiCipants will be on hand then. and we
can make the entire day and part of the
night one long to be remembered Am
pie provision will be made by the club, 7
am sure, to provide for the entertain
ment Of visitors, both at the clubhouse
and in the city. This event will do moro
for the Automobile Club Of Washington
than anything that 7 know Of"
