Plans for the third annual Hill
climb of the Atlanta Auto and Ac-

pletion even at this early date. En-
thusiasm is running higher than ever
in the past, and indications are that
the 1914 contest win be mammoth
one.

committee to look after final arr
rangements, as followsi w. D. Lud-

that every member OF the committee

OF about eighteen, with more to come.
Some who will positively enter are X.

and as the majority of auto concerns
have not yet been heard from, and
as undoubtedly a number of private
owners will enter cars this list will be
materially swelied
The local motorcycle agents have
signified their intention of entering
from one to ten machines apiece, and
this number will also be considerably
swelled by the various owners OF mo-
torcycles, each of which is sure of
