Mayor Winn will make the tour his
vacation. Not long ago he started to en-
joy a rest, but was interrupted in 1t and
called back to work.
WILL ENJOY EACH MILE"
ST am looking forward with the keen
est anticipation to the tour" said Mayor
Winn, Thursday. Not only m pleased
to lend my Endorsement to movement
which has already accomplished 50
much for road development, and which
is destined to redouble interest and en-
thusiasm in both the cause of good
roads and the use of the automobile,
but / expect also to enjoy every minute
to Jacksonville.
"Of especial interest to me will be
the National Park and backgrounds in
and around Gettysburg, Pa, the Won
derful scenery along the Shenandoah
Valley turnpike and the imposing gran
deur of the Blue Ridge mountains.
October must be the ideal month for
an automobile tour along the national
highway The rainy season will have
passed and the tang of fall will be in
the air.
PRAISES HIS CAR.
"sThe Flanders touring car rendered
me by Mr.. Hanson, southern represent
tative of the Studebaker Corporation,
is a brave and sturdy machine.
and I feel confident that our party will
complete the trip with a perfect score.

formed in an ideal manner and have

under the auspices of The Atlanta Jour
nal and New York Herald first spread
broadcast the doctrine OF improved
highways and resulted in the sale of
thousands of automobiles throughout
the territory traversed by the National
highway.
"The Glidden tour Will, I am sure,
prove a grand climax to the work so
nobly and worthily begun"
FLANDERS A WINNER.
The worth of the Flanders car is too
well known throughout the south to
need elaborate mention here. It's per-
formances have stamped 1t as one ~of
the very best cars and those who know
automobiles rate it high among the me-
dium-priced cars.
The Flanders will have a reputation to
uphold, as well as the magisterial dig
nifty of a big city's mayor. 1t has been
winning contests until it can't afford to
lose; therefore 1t may reasonably be ex-
pected to run away with big honors in
the Glidden, incidentally proving itself
worthy the confidence that Mayor Winn
and those who know the car repose IN it.
1t has just finished winning the Dead
Horse hill climb at Worcester. Mass.
over a field of strong competitors. And
1t recently won the Montana endurance
run of some 1900 miles. Only three cars
out of an entry list Of more than 40
finished that run; and two Of those three
were Flanders.
REOS AND MAxwELLS
The two REQ entries will have an equal
place of prominence in the big tour They
will be hot contestants for the highest
honors and will concede nothing to any
other cars in their class.

Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)


JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Aug. 1.-TWO
more entries from Jacksonville were an
nounced at the meeting of the Glidden
tour committee yesterday afternoon, and
it became practically certain that two
others will be made today This will
make seven from Florida already, and
present indications encourage the COM
mittee to believe that there will be not
less than 30 or 40 cars from this state.
The two entries yesterday afternoon
were DR.. w. NJ. Stinson, one of the most
enthusiastic motorists of the city and
the promoter of the Jacksonville
Asheville highway, and Claude N Nolan.
DR.. Stinson enters Packard machine
and Mr.. Nolan Cadillac 80. Francis o.
Miller, secretary of the State Good
Roads association, will enter Hudson
SO, and Charles A. Clarke will enter
a National 40. The committee received
the announcement from Atlanta of the
entry of H. NJ. Atkinson.
ENTRIES ARE URGED.
A letter will be mailed out today by
Chairman Race, under instructions from
the committee, urging every commercial
organization in the state to enter teams,
or at least one car. 1t is almost certain
that the Jacksonville board of trade
will have a team to announce within
a few days. Commercial organizations of
some of the larger cities in the southern
part of the state will also enter teams.
The committee is striving to have at
least one car from every commercial
body in Florida.
The Floridians will wear caps Of uni
form color and design, and each will
have small stuffed alligator fastened
to the visor The committee adopted this
idea of one of its members after several
similar propositions had been discussed.
The entertainment of the tourists on
their arrival at Jacksonville and the de-
tails of the civic celebration to mark the
dedication of the highway In this city
has been left to the entertainment COM
mittee of the board of trade. Claude n.
Nolan and Charles A. Clark were added
to the Glidden tour committee.
County Engineer Barnard was present
at the meeting and announced that three
gangs of men will be placed at work
this morning on the Is miles of the high
way in Duvall county, for which the

pany, notified the committees that the

concern has the contract will be rush
ed through 1t is expected that the en-
tire stretch of the national highway in
Duvall county win be fully completed

WILL CHARTER STEAMER.
The committee yesterday afternoon got
In touch with officials of the Clyde
Steamship company. and were assured
that there would be no difficulty In
chartering steamer to take the tourists
and their machines from Jacksonville to
New York. 1t is proposed to leave about
October z, to arrive in New York not
later than October 10. The decision OF
the Georgia contingent will be awaited
before definite arrangements are con-
cluded with the steamship company, al
though it has been settled that the
Florida contestants will go by water.
Chairman Race today began getting
In touch with all towns in the state,
and especially those in Florida along
probable that members OF the commit
tee will visit Live Oak. Madison, Lake
City and other intermediate points some
time next week.
A statement from s. M. Butler, chair
man of the American Automobile asso-
citation in which he declared that any
standard stock car might enter regard
less of whether 1t Is registered with
the association or not, was read to the
committee. It is believed that the re-
moval of this inhibition will go far to-
ward popularizing the tour with Florida
auto owners.
"Our committee has so far met with
a magnificent response from owners Of
automobiles In Jacksonville" said Chair
man Herbert B.. Race. The members
of the committee have been rather hold
ing off awaiting the organization this
afternoon. Our work has been outlined
now, and every man VIII go to 1t. There
is no reason why this city should not
have Is or more machines in the con-
test. Every town In Florida ought to
take advantage Of this opportunity for a
splendid advertisement Of the state and
its prosperous towns. The publicity that
the tour will give US will be lasting in
its beneficial effect"

Atwood Is Away
On His Eastern Fliqht

TOLEDO, Ohio, Aug. T.-One landing
place in a sail Of 123 miles was fixed
by Harry n. Atwood as his schedule for
today in an attempted aeroplane flight
from St Louis TO New York in an effort
to establish a new worlds record for
cross-country flying.
Atwood, who was out shortly after
daylight touching up his machine for
his journey, said he would make the IS
miles between here and Sandusky by
noon. He prepared to remain there for
several hours and at about 3 o'clock to
start on the 65-miIe trip from Sandusky
to Cleveland, where he win remain to-
night.
"oh, these little hopping flights are
getting on my nerves." said Atwood. II
want to make 800 or 400 miles day, and
could easily do it were 1t not that
my agreement calls for stops. The dis
lance between Chicago and New York
ought easily 10 be covered in three
days. hope when leave Cleveland Fri
day morning 10 do some speeding be-
tween Cleveland and Buffalo, and some
still greater speeding in New York
state.
II am going to New York city from
Albany at a fast clip. 1t will be down
hill all the way, and the foot of the
hill will be that wide stretch of sandy
shore on the south side of Long Island.
'''The reason I don't want to say def
niteIy now whether I win fly from New
York TO Boston is that l want to make
New York the end OF this trip. 1t is
probable will fly to Boston afterwards,
but IL / do it. IL will be to save me the
trouble of packing up and shipping my
machine"
Before the time set for his departure
from here today Atwood in covering the
$50 miles from st. Louis to Toledo, had
been actually / the air only 10 hours
and s. minutes. This was the fourth day
OF his flight
The exact time OF his arrivals and de-
partures in towns after he leaves Cleve-'
land. Atwood said, was uncertain. In
some instances he viii not decide where
he is to land until he is within sight of
the town. From Cleveland his general
route win be Ashtabula, Ohio, Erie, Pa,

Mayor CORTLAND S. Winn, of Atlanta,
enters the first car of Atlanta Team No.
i, with two others to follow later; and
New York, with three Maxwell entries
by the United States Motor company
there is the first city to enter a COM
plete team for the 1911 Glidden tour down
the national highway from New York
to Jacksonville.
There are FIVE other entries beside
these four. r. NJ. Owen & Co., New
York, have entered two Reos at contest
board headquarters; A. p. Whiting, of
New York, has entered 1912 Cunning
ham; and Claude N. Nolen, of Jackson
vile, enters a Cadillac and DR.. w. NJ.
Stinson, of the same city, enters an Olds-
mobile.
Thus the entries are piling in at
contest board headquarters for the great
tour that starts it's southwark course
on October IA The ball has started a
rolling, and nothing can stop 1t now till
the entry lists close on October /. The
1911 Glidden gives every indication of
being not only the biggest and best
that the national highway has seen or
the contest board of the A. A. A has
ever conducted, but possibly the biggest
and best in the automobile history of the
world.
ROUTE IS FIXED.
There is a misunderstanding in some
quarters as to the exact route that the
Glidden tour will follow. This mistaken
impression has been emphasized by repe-
tition and publicity. 1t is to the effect
that the Gidden may be induced to lay
its course where strongest attractions
are offered.
The fact of the situation is that the
course Of the Glidden is already very
definitely decided. 1t viii follow The
Journal-Herald national highway with
out the slightest depression between New
York and Atlanta and between Atlanta
and Jacksonville. The route Of The
Journal Herald national highway is post
ed with signs and described in readings.
There can be no question on this point.
Thursdays developments in the Glidden
tour entry list are notable indeed.
VALUABLE ACQUISITION.
In the first place, the entry of Mayor
winn in his official capacity and as the
first entrant of Atlanta Team No. 1 to
contest for the Glidden trophy, Is a
valuable acquisition by the tour. George

of the Studebaker Corporation, ten

which he has entered, for his own free
and unrestricted use throughout the tour.
It Is very probable that the mayor
