The | International Grand Prize race will be started at 10 a. m. Feb. 23. and should be finished by 3:30 D. m. This | will eliminate the all night trip to the beach and the before dawn gath. ering at Santa Monica.
 The grand stand and parking spaces can easily lbe reached over several perfect boulevards and by means of excellent railways service in from thirty to forty minutes from Los Angeles.
 The original intention of erecting a series Of grand stands, across the course and have the racing cars run beneath the stands, has been aban- doned for this year on account of lack of time. One big grand stand will be built on the ocean front, as has been the case in past Santa Mon ica races. The grand stand seats will sell for two-fifty and three dollars boxes. containing six seats. will sell at thirty and forty dcllars. The park. ing spaces around the course have been reserved by the committee. who especially urges that official parking space be reserved in preference to that controlled by private parties whose sole interests in the races Is how much money they can make out of them.
 Reserved seats will go cn sale ai the Los Angeles offices of the West ern Automobile Association on Mon. day, Feb. 2. anI it Is hoped and ex. pected that Ire entire grand stand will be sold out long before the races start. Special efforts Will be made this year to get an attractive program which can be keDt as a sou. venir and which will contain a com plete history of the Vanderbilt Gun and the Grand Prize Races and al' other matters of interest in connec
 tion with the automobile racing sport The committee Is going 10 take
 every precautiCn in their power tC keep the Vanderbilt Cup and the Grand Prize race tickets out of the ? hands of spectators. but feel that
