one who has not gotten their entry

so, as the lists for entries will be

H Endicott has his big Inter-State

ting in shape for the races. They
are very attractive in their bright
colors.
pvo Marion cars are due from Hous-

The racing committee asks the spec-
tators not to get on the track or at-
tempt to g t through the fences.
Though even with best policing avail-
able, without the aid of the lookers-on
the course cannot be kept clear, and
this is very important, as not only the
drivers cannot race and the races
would have to be called off, but it is
very dangerous to everyone not to have
a clear course. If ea£h person will
remember and remain behind the lines,
which have been carefully laid out,
then each person’s neighbor, will not
also get beyond the fences.
The grandstand, -fences, etc., and all
arrangements have been looked after
with a great deal of care and made as
convenient as possible for all con-
cerned.
Don’t overlook the special arrange-
ment for parking at the foot of 61st
street. This will be of great con-
venience for owners of machines.
No vehicle of any kind will be al-
lowed on the beach within two hours
of the starting of the races on each
day. All persons are requested to
please make their arrangements ac-
cordingly, so that there will be no de-
lays due to clearing the course, etc.

committee, is enthusiastic over the

Up until early this afternoon
following cars have made formal
try for participation in the
Carnival races: Marion (2),
State, Cadillac, National (4), Jackson
(1) and Abbott-Detroit (2), totaling
eleven. At least three more entries
are sure to be heard from.
Two electrics have thus far signi-
fied their intentions of entering the
race for that class.
Every race has at 1'east two entries;
that for the beach record, seven; fqr
the fifty-mile, seven; and for the 150-
mile, eight.
The entries close at midnight, and
not befor’e that hour can full informa-
tion be obtained, for such would be
unwise, since the full list has not sig-
nified.
