made her way to Paris. Her funds
soon pive out and she obtained em-

for charity nnd for several weeks lived

Gentlemen:
In an effort to stimulate interest in the opening of the roads to Yosemitc National Park each year
and to make the Park available to motorists earlier than it otherwise vould be Yosemite Lodge has
decided to establish a perpetual challenge trophy to be given to the first car entering the Park each
year over an open road.
We believe that this trophy will result in constructive good for Yosemitc and the hundreds of mo-
torists who annually visit the Park. It will be of emblematic design executed in bronze and silver and
mounted on polished redwood.
It gives me great pleasure to notify you that the trophy has been awarded this year to you and
the 1921 Model Buick Touring Car for your splendid run over the Wawona Road arriving at Yosemite
Saturday April 2nd and receiving a motor permit which was endorsed by Superintendent Lewis to
show that this was the first car entering the Park that way in 1921.
With all good wishes
Sincerely Yours
WILLIAM SELL JR.
MANAGER YOSEMITE LODGE.
