meeting adopted as tentative program
of events the program in use at the
| program is subject to change. as confer
ences will be held with leading men
in the trade and their views incorporat-
ed into the program.
1t is planned to start the motor cycle
events at II am. instead OF pm, as
previously. thus allowing the conclusion
of these events before the time for the
beginning of the automobile events, and
obviating any cutting down of distances
as was necessary last year through lack
of time to run them. This will allow
the starting of the automobile races at
30 pm: in ample time for their con-
| clusion before d pm.
The tentative program is:
