Arizona republican., 1913-06-17


 tai to the Canyon tour took place at the meeting Of the Maricopa Auto club at the Arizona club rooms last night. It was one of the final meet inCs before the run which starts from Phoenix in sections from July second To fourth. IL was thought better to start the majority of the cars the afternoon of the second so that the folks could arrive in Prescott with d broken journey fresh and ready for rAe big doings of the fourth, when Frontier Day will be at it's height By leaving Phoenix at one o'clock Wickenburg can be reached the night ot the second and. Prescott the after noon of the third. This leaves q nights rest between the trip and the Joys of Independence Day celebration.
 Hotel accommodations along the line were discussed, and found to be excellent. Special rates will be made foI the autoists. SD that the ex- pense on this item will not be pro- hibitive Many of the hotels have promised to accommodate the Mari copa Auto club band for nothing more tangible than it's excellent mu- sic. The fact was brought out that there is to be no entry fee for the run, and this developed the fact that the only expenses will be the ordin- ary living ones and those of the cars.
 IL was reported that Fl Paso had gotten the thousand dollars toward the race. had lined up the drivers and cars and was now holleTing loudly and insistently for entry blanks. Gen eral Bullard was compelled to write back saying entry blanks could not be provided until the rules had been l had been made up and the controls and route established.
 | Bullard announced he would go to San Diego in time to welcome the Phoenix San Diego run and to start things for the race. He will also work up the tour that will leave Ari- zona in 1915 to go to San Diego and thence to San Francisco. He will then go to Los Angeles and talk 10 i the boosters there and get the Los Angeles to Phoenix desert race start | ed among the autoists of that town. He then leaves for San Francisco to arrange for the thousand dollars worth of cups that will be given for the auto tour from all Arizona to the exposition there.
 | Mir Bullard will be an exceedingly busy man on the coast this trip. He v
