It would be hard for a meet to be surrounded and held under more favorable conditions. Fifty cars are entered for the nine events and they are to go two abreast up the course. Plenty of thrills are promised for the turn at Connor's park in the Heights where Brigham street turns into Federal Fed-eral Way is somewhat difficult. The races will unquestionably be tho fastest ever held in this section of the west. From the starting point at Brigham and Sixth East street the racers will have asphalt to Thirteenth East street, where they strike Federal Heights. The continuation of Brigham through the big residence tract is on the new petrolythic paving, as Is Federal Fed-eral Way, the last log of the course. The racers go up Brigham, turning at Connor's park in the Heights into Federal Way and up that street until un-til the tape is crossed over the crest of the hill near the reservation line. The course is a mile and seven-eighths. The petrolythic pavement is fast and dustless and with sidewalks and curbing lining every inch of the course through the Heights, excellent opportunities are accorded spectators spec-tators for viewing the contest. Every indication points to some great match races. Bert Fuller has stripped Mr. Newhouse's big G5 Pierce and will use that car and the Packard runabout in which he crossed the tape in record time last year. The Studebaker people have entered en-tered a fast $4,250 runabout that has a wicked look. As a dark horse Creighton Largey's White Steamer, driven by Riley, looms up ominously. Mr. Largey Is the popular uung Butte millionaire mil-lionaire recently married here, and his Steamer is specially built for Western driving. It takes a hill at terrific speed and Riley is an expert driver. The White Savage people have entered a powerful Stearns and with the Reo to be entered by Sam Sharman some close finishes may be expected. An extensive telephone arrangement will take care of the timing of the cars. Tho cups donated for the events are all costly and of beautiful designs. Sam Newhouse will ride with Fuller ' all the race events in which his cars are enteied. The official program for the afternoon Is practically prac-tically as follows: NO. 1. ELECTRIC MACHINES.

Jv fcyV IcJ Big Cottonwood's toll of accidents last Sunday has somewhat dampened the ardor of motorists for running their cars to Brighton. The smash-ups were the worst of the season and all things considered it is remarkable that the record is but two big cars disabled and five men seriously hurt. C. A. Qulgley of the Studebaker Stude-baker company has had a most fortunate escape, his physicians fearing early in the week that brain fever would develop as a result of his injuries. The danger has practically passed, however, at this writing, and he will recover rapidly. Mr. Quigley and John Burbidge, in the former's big pfifl B Studebaker, were running down the canyon about lHjPRl fK a mile above the old paper mill, at the mouth of ilSBI' ' the canyon, Sunday afternoon, when to avoid run- 'ioflr IB ning down a buggy Quigley drove his machine iSSui ' Hi against an embankment. It turned over, throwing tffljflM j R Mr. Burbidge out, dislocating his knee and break- 'HJjlln K ing his leg. Mr. Quigley was caught under the 'PSp ' jB car and with his face buried in the sand was be- j wju H ing suffocated by the weight of the car when Bur- ljj Hh jB bldge, despite his fractured leg, crawled under the E HP B machine and with his immense strength, released J HO H Mr. Quigley. Clem Schramm took both men to xt m H town in his Pier . JMT H Of the three tnrown out of James Dunn's ma- 'Mail 1 chine, F. J. Fabian, Judge Willis C. Hall and Mr. tWm H Dunn, Mr. Fabian and Judge Hall are the most w H seriously injured, particularly Mr. Fabian, whose 'JraMfo m Miss Jean Odell at the Wheel of the Odell Franklin.

The machine containing the ' three men was coming down the canyon a mile above Max-field's Max-field's mine in Big Cottonwood when the brakes broke and the big car rushed down the grade. Mr. Dunn, realizing the danger of the Increasing The Big Cottonwood Road Easy for the Franklin, speed, turned the car into the cliff that skirts the road. The car went over with a crash, throwing the three men out. Autoists driving up the canyon are exercising evpry possible precaution as a result of the two accidents. |
