Ninety-five Cars Leave Phoenix Yesterday for Mile High City to Swell Crowd of Locals In Prescott.
SENENTY-FINE MORE
 CARS NORTH TO-DAY
Never Before Have So Many Auto Fans Joined Together in Social Run. Over Two Hundred All Told.

l
 The sociability run to Prescott which has been boosted by this paper from the very beginning, and number of the cars have made the trip to the Grand Canyon and re- turn, is proving the greatest in the history of automobiling. Fully two hundred cars will make the start
 from this city before the time limit than one hundred cars have gone, and today there is the romise of seventy five cars more. Starter Loper was kept busy all day yester- day checking out cars until the enormous number of ninety-five cars was reached. That he will be kept equally busy all day today is the pretty safe prediction.
 The only run that has heretofore come within striking distance Of the Republican run now in pro gress, is the Glidden tours along the East Coast two years ago when
 
 pleted the run. This run however will show two hundred cars. Al ! ready the difference in automobile traffic has become noticeable upon the streets of Phoenix Yesterday the absence of the one hundred and ! twenty cars from this city made an appreciable difference in the number ot cars darting about the streets.
 The little city of Wickenburg was
 
 fl any little city in wide awake i Arizona ever became such, by the continued procession of loaded auto mobiles through the town bound for Prescott The road as outlined by the pathfinders sent out from this office, in the custody of Wild Bill Tremaine. and Dr. F. H. RedewilI about two weeks ago has proven al ready to be an ideal road for summer runs and it is not without the bounds of probability that the Canyon 1 Course through Prescott in the | middle of the Arizona summer will | prove an attraction that will bring to this section automobile enthus- lasts from all sections of the country |
 The breeze blowing through the | mountains and out across the spots l Of desert between this city and Pres colt made the entire course one Of | supreme delight so much sa that in ] spite of the fact that a goodIy number l of cars had already promised to start yesterday, the sum total was in l creased, and more were promised for today.
 HOW THEY GOT AWAY.
 The estimated number of automo- piles participating in the Canyon tour of the Maricopa Auto Club. yes terday proved to be short of the | number that actually have taken part in the run. Ninety-five cars left l Phoenix yesterday all bound for Pres | colt and seVenty-five more owners | nave signified their intention of leaving for the Queen of the Hills" today. Fifteen cars left on the first day of the tour. three of them making | their own trail from Castle Hot | Springs, over the Yarnen Hill and thence to Prescott. Not counting l the cars which will leave today the l Phoenix auto contingent numbers no 1 automobile carrying an average num- Der of passengers of five each The | evening train over the Santa F'e | was loaded to the guards and seats | were at premium while the three 1 baggage cars were piled to the roof l with trunks. The Santa Fe will run | two special trains today and if the l number Of reservations is any criter- ion another train will be necessary to carry the horde of visitors that will l descend on Prescott for Frontier Day l
 Prescott has arranged for accomo- 1 dating over four thousand visitors on l the Fourth so there will be plenty of l room and food for all who attend and l there will be no excuse for people to ! stay away
 The Phoenix board of trade and the | Prescott chamber of commerce will | hold a joint session today in Pres 1 colt and plans will be formulated at the meeting for a. closer bond if 1! union betweetn the two cities. Road conditions are perfect and l auto travellers will find very few bad | spots between Phoenix and Prescott | Quite a few of the drivers found the 1 road so good that they continued l on to Prescott last night depending | entirely upon their headlights to show up any poor spots in the road After l leaving Congress Junction the auto istS will find good clean hard roads as smooth as city pavements and they will be met there by auto en- thuSiasts from the YaVapai Club and the last half of the journey will be | made through the beautiful avenue of pines leading into Prescott.
