rather cool for the first few hours
of riding and the roads very rough
from Wauseon to Bryan, after leav-
ing Bryan the trail was marked by
the To'edo Auto Club and the roads
were the very BEST
By the time the Trrty reached
Ft. Wayne every member felt as if
he could do justice to a real meal
and the cry became "When do we
eat. Right here l wiuld like TO
know how some of these "Siim
Jlms" can eat so much and get away
with it, as we would near a town the
cry would be "When Do We Eat"
and their faces would light up but
as no stop would be made cloud
would gather over them. After the
first one hundred miles were made
machines could be seen coming in
groups of five and six and as many
would be ahead, but it mattered not,
Packards, Mormons, Nash, Cadillac
and even Fords were passed in the
madr ush to get to the speedway.
The journey finally ended and the
party arrived at Indianapolis at
exactly 2:40 p. m. After a good
nights rest Excepting Fatty Ar

There is one member of the party

that these ever hungry hounds
were fed.
But take it all in all the trip is
one long to be remembered anC
each one feels well repaid for the
trip.
! Later reports has it that "Sliu
Jim is not able to work from ovel
