Frank Hardart, Prominent Git
izen, to Bring His Winton
Over the Nation Highway as
a Contestant-0ther Entries
Entries Expected This Week

The City of Bgotherly Love-Philadel-
phia-M Monday morning furnished another
entry for the GIidden tour over the Ma
tional Highway from New York to At
anta and Jacksonville. Frank Hardart,
prominent Philadelphia, with wide ex-
perience as a tourist, entered Winton
Six. He will drive the car himself, in
all probability, AMI will be accompanied
by several friends from the Quaker City
He is an enthusiastic automobilist and
a veteran Of other tours.
While Mr.. Hardart is himself stran-
ger to the National Highway, the car
he has entered has contested in tours
over the course between Atlanta and
New York In the last Journal-Herald
rum Herman J. Haas, of Atlanta, drove
big Winton, ard. as will be remem-
bered, the car gave a good account Of
itself over every mile of that memorable
run, under al1~sorts of adverse weather
conditions.
The Winton entry is not the only one
that Philadelphia will furnish for the
Glidden, and several others may be ex-
pected, within the next few days Phila-
delphia is one of the controls on the run
from Atlanta to New York, and the cit
liens of that city take keen interest
in the perfection and extension of the
National Highway. The previous tours
have been given royal welcome at Phila-
delphla. and the city government has
accorded the tourists the privilege OF
parking their cars IN city hall square, in
the very heart of things in Philadelphia.
Mr.. Hardart's entry of his Winton
will be followed this week by several en-
tries from other points along the course
of the run, according to information re-
ceived by The Journal. and 1t is not i'm
probable that Atlanta may furnish one
or two additional entrants.
The Georgia State Chamber of Com
merce is considering the, advisabiIity of
entering car in the tour as its repre-
sentative. Col. John D. Walker, of Spar
ia, president Of the state organization,
and William Wakefield. OF GAINESVILLE,
its secretary, are awake to the possibili-
ties of the tour, and both are understood
to favor participation in the run. Mr..

Tom Sopwith, a brother Englishman;
Eugene B. Ely. of the Curtiss camp and
George w. Beatty who flies a Wright,
also declined to enter the cross-country,
although before going over the course
as near as railroad trains would carry
them last week they had expressed their
intention of being participants.
That the flight would be an interesting
one was assured, however, in that Stone
would find every inch of the route de-
bated with Earle Lovington, to whom
flying over cities has no terrors.
In the biplane division Harry N. At

slant attention. because of the renown
