every minute of the time during
the four days of fun and frolic.
At night was offered a brilliant
scene. Hundreds OF electric bulbs
effectively arranged, blazed forth a
torrent of light from the court house
tower, bank buildings and several
other structures. Over the Hotel
St. Michael annex was erected an
electric sign with the inscription,
Welcome"
Confetti! Just word to the wise,
its coming!
Despite the murky weather of the
past several days, the streets are
in excellent condition, in fact more
so than ordinarily, for the dust is
not in evidence at all. Music with
out dancing is almost as poor an at
traction as dancing without music
when there are so many terpischo-
rean artists on hand. Last night
was featured by all kinds of dances
given in several parts of the city.
Tonight's terpischorean program
will be featured by the iremen's
annual ball in the Odd Fellows
hall Dancing will also feature on
the plaza promenade.
An efficient staff of special depu-
ties named by Sheriff Charles c.
Keller is doing all that it can and
was expected of them. The celebra-
ton thus far has been remarkably
devoid of any disturbances.
If the crowd yesterday was a
record breaker" what can be ex-
pected of today, the Fourth, and
the touted record breaking day of
the celebration? Two special trains
will unload their consignments OF
fun-loving passengers while scores
of auto parties will wend their way
towards the Mile High city from
every direction and point in Ari-
IONA. Tomorrow's crowd is eX-
pected TO be equally as large while
on Monday morning, the day of the
big auto race? Just watch for
them.

Tom Bate the Prescott movie"
man had his grinder stationed near
the tape. He made several hundred
feet of exciting films as the first
six men finished.
No one in Prescott-not even
members OF the committees in
charge of the race would have pre-
dicted such fast time. The result
was that thirty minutes before
Boido came skidding into town, the
street was deserted by everybody
interested by motorcycle but pretty
we'll filled with ice wagons, auto
mobiles and such like uninteresting
vehicles, which from time to time
threatened to jar the race off its
appointed course. The policing
proved efficient however, and there
were no accidents.
But two of the fourteen machines
that left Phoenix on the signal OF
starter George Purdy Billiard yes
terday morning failed to arrive in
Prescott. These are the Merkel OF
Harry Crandall, which sustained a
broken frame below Hot Springs
Junction and the Indian ridden by
Bertram which wrecked on Copper
Basin hill. Both these riders caught
automobiles and came on in so that
by mid afternoon every one of the
fourteen speed merchants had con-
gregated in the Mile High City.
Wylie Wootton, riding an Excel
sior, with which he was not famil-
lar had some difficulty and made
slow time during the first part OF
the race. Mccullough, the Los An
geles crack, a dark horse entry at
the last moment and L. L. Weyand
the Excelsior agent at Phoenix rode
one of his own machines but was
unable TO buck the hills with which
he was not acquainted. He had
never made practical trip over
the course. These three finishing
after dinner failed to get their
names on the timers sheet so no
accurate check has been made OF
their elapsed running time.
Big John Hohl, the State referee
of the Federation of American Mo
torcycles, arrived by train after a
thrilling night in the mountains
when he walked to Kirkland leav-
ing a broken automobile on the road.
This morning he will take the $3.50
deposited in the Prescott National
Bank, by Chairman Abbott, of the
Phoenix Competition committee and
split it among the first four riders

"Yaqui" is regarded as a crack

He was disqualified in the
broncho busting contest because
he failed to spur his horse as
provided for in the rules. After
making splendid ride, Jason

to the loss of bis stirrups. Stan
