There was much disappointment
that rain in San Diego yesterday
morning prevented 'many people leav-
ing there by automobile for this city,
though few came through on pro-
gram and a few more by train this
morning, giving that city something
of a representation here.
The people of the valley today
turned out in great number, and the
town and the fair grounds presented
lively scene. The big attraction to-
day was the automobile race this af-
ternoon, the entries for which were:
1. Moon, Rogers driver, Graves
mechanic.
2. National, Lyons driver, Wander
berg mechanic.
3. Studebaker, Stearn driver, Dun
can mechanic.
4. Velie, Fred Williams driver.
5. National, Earl Harkelerood
driver, Jack Alcorn mechanic.
6. Kissel Kar, Fred Moore driver,
Joe Seymour mechanic.
