Every foot of the two and a half mile

last night by an army of men working
by electric lights.
THEY'RE HERE

The great host had begun to gather
early IN the morning. thousands of tour
lists arriving from nearby points and
driving direct TO the speedway.
Then came the mighty army Of motor
lists who spent the night here.
They fairly choked the paved roads

The electric roads and trains vDcre al

Receipts from the race are estimated

yided in prize money for the hrs' ten

To this sum citizens Of Indianapolis
have added $4,000 IN the form Of 500

DEPALAIA GOES
INTO THE LEAD.

DePalma swept into the lead on the
thirty fifth lap. but the judges made a
mistake and through the error Joe Boyer.

credited with leading the field for half an
hour. Discovering the mistake the Judge
placed DePalma in tho lead IN the rating.

seemed certain that a new track
record would be set.
