ELGIN, ILL.,, Aug. 30.-Ralph De-
Palma, plotting Mercer, was tK9
favorite today as the result of his
winning first place in yesterdays race
over a large field with time of 4
hours, II minutes, so seconds for the
BOP miles, an average speed of 66.S
miles per hour. The racers were off
at ii a. m. today in the big event of
the Elgin road race meeting-the race
for the coveted Elgin national trophy.
Today's crowd, fully 90 per cent
larger than that which witnessed the
Chicago Automobile club trophy race
yesterday, broke into wild applause
when DePalma piloted his mount
down the course Al front of the grand
stand an hour before the starting
bomb was set off. There were cheers
for Joe Dawson, who finished second
in yesterdays race and for Mulford
who won the first Elgin classic three
years ago and cheers for the others
who tore past the stands in the warm
ing up of the clacking, sputtering en-
gines. But DePalma's boast that he
would set a new record for the course
or break something" brought him the
largest measure of applause. The
best time over this course was made
by DePalma last year in Mercedes
at an average speed of 6S.4 miles
per hour.
Militiamen experienced difficulty to-
day in handling the immense throng
of spectators who began pouring into
Elgin before daybreak by train, auto
mobile and horse drawn vehicles from
Chicago and from a score of middle
western cities and towns. Parking
facilities for the vehicles were barely
sufficient and hundreds of automobiles
and carriages had to be banked far
back in the fields surrounding the
course, while their occupants sought
vantage points on foot: When the first
of a series of bombs were set off at
1920 warning that the course must
be cleared, crowds of late arrivals
still were seeking places along the
track and officials had hard time
drawing the police lines.
Milford and Dawson both were con-
sidered DePalma's most dangerous
competitors for the honor place in to-
days event-Mulford by reason of his
knowledge of almost every inch Of
the course, and Dawson because OF
his spectacular and hard driving yes.

MAKE THE COMMERCIAL
CLUB 400 BY JAN. 1, 1914

A splendid article appeared in one
of the Denver papers last week call
ing attention to the greatly improved
conditions in San Juan county. The
following quotation is taken from this
article:
much credit is due to the live Com
msrcial club at Silverton to which
everybody who aspires to be anybody
at present belongs"
There are many good citizens in
San Juan county who have been over
looked by the officers and various COM
mittees that have solicited members.
and we feel sure that large number
Of these wyould join II they were
approached and the work of the club
explained to them. The club has be-
come a necessity in this community
and has gained a reputation every
where for its activity in all matters
connected with the upbuilding of San
Juan county. If you do not wish to
go to the club and put in your name,
ask some friend to do it for you. The
club has membership now of nearly
2O0.-Silverton Standard.
The business men of lall classes of
Silverton are working together and
have strong organization which
should do much to stimulate other
towns to pattern after our enterpris-
ing people of that progressive COM

All pears may be grown on the

seems more nearly related to or to

a failure. For this reason the Bart

bell pull that protruded from the dingy
brick wall by the door she made no ef-
fort to secure dodgers. The few who
came were told that the house was full.
