cases we're exact replicas of their
larger brothers, automobiles, even
bearing various names. Dewey Nc
Dowell was practicing in his Maxwell
for the pushmobile race TO be held
under the auspices of THE EVENING
JOURNAL tomorrow afternoon.
The boys went over the route to be
covered and reported that with but
Two exceptions in Van Buren, street,
no rough places were found. Several
lboys tried to break records made the
day previous and for a while tho
street resembled n race course.

.pired yesterday, Il has been decided to
lextend this until noon tomorrow.
