blSbEE AFTER
 NIGHT CONTROL
Offers Largest Purse on the Condition That Cars Shall Check In and Out Here, but Otheriwse Only Half

Fl Paso will decide the night control | for the Fl Paso to Phoenix road race. George Purdy Bullard leaves it up to | the Pass City committee because from | there win come the greatest number 1 of cars that are entered. He so states l in a letter written from San Diego on the 4th which was received by thei Auto Club yesterday. In this letter he acknowledges the receipt of the guaranties of the Auto Club and the Commercial Club.
 When the guaranty for the WaTreT district and Tombstone was made by the two local clubs this was done in the form of two contingencies. At that time the first move was made to get the night control for Bisbee. to keep the racers here over night At theI same time no chance was taken of
 having the course other than over the BordeTland State Highway route, ig- noring the ~Barbed Wire Route via
 Hereford and the dry farms that have
 been taken up whereabouts. For this reason each club guaranteed ill the first place s25O provided the race was run according to the Phoenix agreement. This insured a $500 i prize from this district In the sec ! ond place each club gave a further guaranty for the payment Of an addi- i tional s250 provided Bisbee be selected as the night control. Thus an addition al prize. conditioned on the decision for the night control was offered and if | that is given to Bisbee the District
 and Tombstone will offer total prizes { Of s1, 900.
 When those guaranties were sent to Mir Pullard he was advised of the de sires of this district and Tombstone { by letter and a similar letter was sent to Mir Rinehart in Fl Paso. The let | ter of yesterday was Mir. Bullard's re- lply but no word has yet beei received from MT Rinehart who has probably been waiting word from Mir. Bullard. I The subscriptions for the great race ', over the Borderland Route now az f gregate s4200, made up of sl .00O each from Fl Paso and Phoenix, $1 .0G0 from this district and Tombstone if Bisbee ! is night control, $500 each from Doug las and Tucson and s200 from Mesa.
 Further pruses are expected from T Florence. Tempe and New Mexico
 points.
 Local race enthusiasts insist that I Bisbee is the logical control point. Il is nearer to half way than any other that is available 1t Is the largest and most important point. 1t is prepared { to handle the cars and entertain the | racers and it has offered the larges purse except for the starting and fin . ishing points Thus far Fl Paso hal stated that they were in favor of eith CT Bisbee or Douglas and since thi' } district offers double the Dougla;
 prize money 1t is considered pract ' cal certainty, since matters were equa : before. that Fl Paso will now favo ' Bisbee.
 r Adviees were received from TucsoI
 yesterday that Hiram Corbett an'
 John Myers would meet Mir. Westgar' ! at Phoenix and escort him to Tucson
 They asked how many Bisbeeite : might be expected to meet MT. Wesi F gard at their. city as they will tende
 a dinner to their guests and desir 7 to make arrangements. It is expecte 7 that I. R. Henderson will be in Phot
 nix to meet Mir westgard there an E. two from Bisbee will meet him , Tucson and act as his escort to thi
 city. As yet definite dates of arriva r. at different points have not been IT
 ceiyed here but it is expected that h
 win reach Phoenix Friday night, Tut
 son Saturday and spend Sunday nigh 7. here. On this understanding arrang' 0 ments are in progress by the loci |. auto club.
