Pluvius with such heavy downpour of water that the vast number of persons on fences, on trucks and those standing on the ground, becames a mob rushing for shelter. The rain lasted for about fif- teen minutes, long enough to get the track good and soaked, then ran away and left the thousands of people won dertng whether or not the races could still be continued.
 Pretty soon the announcement was made that Dempsey had beat Willard, which seemed to put new life into the crowd. A few minutes later another announcement followed that the races would be continued, and in order that the fete be accomplished, scores of pri- vate cars, including motor-trucks, ann balances, etc, were permitted to run about on the track to help dry it out, but despite these efforts the weather man had played his hand, and threatened so seriously to repeat the act that the spectators finally aband- oned hope. The track after the rain resembled brick clay, and it was soon found that a car doing speed on it would spin on the curves like top.
 However the crowd was very appre- ciative one. and found much amuse- ment in the old plantation show, and the dance hall until late hour in the night.

RAIN BREAKS IN ON
 NEGRO AUTO RACES
After Outburst Track Is Too
 Slippery for the Races to Be Held
By ". l.. PORTER


 Perhaps the greatest Fourth of July celebration yet held in the south by negroes took place Friday at the Ala bama State Fair grounds, when pos sibly 10000 persons, white and color ed, gathered to witness the daring au- tomobile and motorcycle races, by a number of the nations greatest negro sportsmen.
 The program which consisted of six automobile and six motorcycle races. commenced with a five mile grind, of motorcycles, with five entries, each of whom got away at practically the same time. The heat was won by Peter Brooks, on an Excelsior, in 5 minutes and 1-5 seconds. A James Jacks, riding an Indian, crossed the tape five seconds later followed a close third by Claud Miller who rode Harley David son The remaining two riders rode well, but were quite out of the money.
 Event number two constituted sensational getaway, with Jacks talk ing the lead. who kept about two links ahead of his closest competitor up to the third lap, when Brooks passed him on the home stretch, in the grind of fifteen miles. Brooks held the lead up to the sixth lap, until Miller who seemed to be suffering engine trouble shot into second place on the seventh lap and eased by him on the back stretch. A battle between Miller and Brooks then ensued; Brooks finally taking the lead and holding it to the finish Jacks again came in second.
 The time required to run the fifteen miles was: 16 minutes and &and 2-5 seconds for the first rider-the last making the distance fifty eight sec- onds later.
 At the finish of the fifteen mile mo- torcycle race, four of the daredevil auto drivers placed their cars on the

The Futility of Switching

The Campaign Manager notes with gratitude that candidates are realizing the utter futility of turning in old sub scribers as new. in the hope of thus gaining addi- tional votes. By retraining from switching" subscriptions. candi- dates are protecting themselves barrassment when the off cial judges canvass the returns. Subscriptions marked new that are found to be old by the veri- fiers will mean that the votes will be forfeited. What greater ca lamity than for candidate to be figuring on certain number of votes. only to find that she will lose a prize just because she wasn't careful in marking her stubs? Don't let it happen to YOU! Let your record be clean!
 Candidates can usually deter mine for themselves whether a subscription is old or new. Any person who was receiving the pa per by mail or carrier. whether paying weekly. monthly or any other way, on May 2Sth. 1919, is an old subscrib CT. or course, this does not mean persons who were buying from newsboys on the streets, paying daily. Such read CTS are not of record. and when subscribing would be considered new out of-town candidates can not accept mail subscription from person taking the paper by carrier and mark the subscrip- tion new just because it is changed from carrier to mail ser vice.

The California gold rush, back in the days of '49. is having it's modern counterpart in miniature form. Only the precious metal is not hidden in jagged rocks as of yore. This particular gold is freshly minted in bright. new gold pieces, and $500 worth of 1t will be given free to the young men and women who turn in the greatest sums in new subscription payments during the special or fer period ending Thursday, July 10th, at 9 D. m.
 All of which is a part of The Age-Herald's great Automobile and Prize Campaign. now racing along at merry clip and soon to end. The gold offer is combined with the opportunity of securing 10000 extra votes on each club of new subscription payments amounting to $30.
 With only five days left of this wonderfully liberal offer-and considered by most candidates the VITAL period of the campaign the prize race is assuming the busiest aspect yet attained since the start. Every day adds to the momentum with which the candi- dates are pushing forward in the eager desire to claim ten beauti- full automobiles and more than a score of other prizes.
 Those ten automobiles continue to win new hearts every day. Most of the candidates, of course. have fully made up their minds to ride in the $2795 Roamer after August Ed. And who can say them nay? Just now it is possible Tor any one of them to be the lucky winner. But after the Roamer is awarded there still remains nine equally classy automobiles for the hustlers who claim their right to them during the next few weeks
 As more than one candidate has said: Naturally. I want the Roamer. but I'll be satisfied with any one of the nine cars" All of them are beauties, and worth many times the effort that will be required to win them.
 The Age Herald didn't buy these cars just because they were cars They were purchased after carefully considering their advan- tages-appearanc style. equip
