NAQU|N'S GAR CROWNED WITH
 HISTORIC F|G
"September Eve" Returns from Long Voyage East, . and is Tuned Some More for Prescott Race-Race
 Gossip Growing Warm

September Eve" the car of Mel Naquin, the god daughter of Scoop" and the favorite among many of the local fans for the winner of the Prescott Loop race on July 6, receiv- ed her crown yesterday.
 Naquin, who has been on an 1900 mile selling trip in the east of the state and in New Mexico arrived with his assistant Travis Bailey, Sunday afternoon, after driving from Bisbee to Phoenix between ten o'clock and four.
 Yesterday September Eve received further dressing down-yes, dress ing down is correct-and her new hood On the bonnet, which is of brilliant yellow to match the wheels and body, is painted her name, September Eve" and her symbols, two big bright green fig leaves.
 On Wednesday morning, Naquin, and mechanician, who will arrive from Globe, leave for Prescott with the Veie, the first car to have money deposited with the entry man. In addition to his car, Naquin will be taking along two other proud posses sions-viz., namely to wit: one hand some red racing cap. and one neat jeweed pin, stating that wearer is d licensed driver in the A. A. A.
 Naquin reports truck sales in ex cellent shape in the mining towns to the east. And he also reports miles and miles of hospitable mud-the sort that seems leath to have you go. New Mexico has been getting rains that have done almost as much dam age as good, it seems.
 More Entries
 A long distance phone from Pres colt yesterday appraised Naquin and other Phoenix drivers of the fact that there were two cars, which might be entered late for the Prescott loop race. The committee asked those all ready entered if they objected to this late entry business, and the sports manlike assuranc was returned.
 One of the late entries will be a Tucson Stutz, and the other will be a Metropol, the origin ,of which was not specified.
 Up to yesterday the Phoenix Velie, September Eve, was the only car for which money had been deposited to cover entry fees
 Course Fast
 Reports from Prescott say the course is faster than ever For auto racing, it is in better shape than since it was built But cars, in practice, have so cut up the surface
 Entries for the auto race ought to run to over a dozen this year. In 1913 there were six cars entered among them Bill Tremaine's old Pope driven by Bob Truman, Albert Hatz's Prescott built Beaver Justua Goebel's Stearns, Chalmers and Stude- baker. Only the winning Pope, the Beaver and the Studebaker were stripped for racing
 This year they will all be stripped Cy Byrne's Buick driven by Bur Hartwell, with Dutch Vogt as me canician, Naquins well press-agentet Velie, DuBois reputed Buick, StaI Murphy's fast Mercer, Hatz's sam' old Beaver with new engine-thes will form the inner circle, iron which the vim 1T will be drawn.
 PIKE MAY PROVE UP-George W Pike. who settled upon a piece of tn public domain in April 1910, ant whose land was afterward withdrawn from entry just two months afte that by agreement with the reclama tion service, received notice yester day that he may now go ahead an prove up as the withdrawal has bee revoked. By the payment of tn amount of the assessment against tn acreage under the Salt River projec he may possibly come in unde that also as the land is most con veniently situated.
