The desert race from Los Angolo.

est automobile contest in the history
OF motor sport. This, years even,
was far greater strain on car ana
crew than any of the, previous races
The route is 100 miles longer, and
with the exception of a few miles Tho
highway is rough, being either deep
IN sand, full Of rocks or a series Of
chucks and ruts.
The distance from Los Angeles Ia
Phoenix is 55l miles. My time was
twenty hours and twenty-three min
utes.
Fifteen cars were entered in this
contest in addition to the National.
The start was from the center of the
business district Of Los Angeles, and
for twenty miles from the city the
roadside was lined with motoring par
ties, and at many places bonfres had
been built. The glare from these fires
did not benefit the drivers, and at nu-
merous points it was necessary to
slow down. The streets of the small
towns were alive with people and
we were cheered all along the line.
The first car started at 10:45, and
the others followed at five-minute in
tervals. The National was eleventh

The National was given the word to
be on its way at 1885, At that time
the street was mass Of people, who

notified the contestants that The speed

we kept down to ten miles an hour,
Turning into First street the motor

the officer to go ahead and he set
my pace for a mile, From there on

the city limits had been passed.
For ten miles out of Los Angeles
the going was difficult. The people
would not keep off the road. They
