Precautions Against Accident The Dealers' association has taken every precaution 10 eliminate the pos sibility of injury to spectators. Acting on the suggestion of R. J- Leavitt, Southern California agent for the Lo lomobile, the box Keats, which were sirranged in front of tlie grand stands along Ocean avenue, have been changed. As arranged, the seats cx tendod over the curbing and at the narrowest part of the course, and a skidding car might cause death and tiestruution should it plunge into the tlightly constructed boxes. In order to safeguard the Interests of the public, Mi. i eavltt has had the Ijoxi s removi il toward the sidewalk and away from the curve, thus removing tny danger of accident. A bridge has been erected at Fourth Ptreet and Nevada avenue for the pur pose of permitting autos to enter the enclosure without crossing the track. The Los Angeles-Pacific railway will run extra cars to the course, and a pedestrian bridge hag been erected nearly opposite the grand stand, which will allow persons arriving from trie cars to get seats or enter tlie en < Insure w'lthout crossing the course Car service to this point "ill cease at 7-30 o'clock, when the route will be changed and cars run to Nevada ave nue. Three Hundred Police Engaged Three hundred patrolmen have been engaged by M. K. Barretto, chief of police of Santa Monica, who will pa trol the course and prevent persons from crossing the track or approach ing the dangerous curves during the progress of the race. The spirit in which the citizens of Banta .Monica have entered into the nt has been pleasing to the pro rs of the race, and H. X. Goetz, lent of the board of trade, has 1 iken an active interest in seeing that the course will be in good condition. As suggested In The Herald, the dan perous curve at Ocean and Nevada avenues will be kept open, thus allow ing a driver who thinks a collision in evitable the privilege of steering Straight ahead, instead of attempting the sharp curve. To the followers of the racers every car appears to have an equal chance of winning first honors ;i the big race. Every one has a favorite, and tie mentioned as likely winners by the rallblrds who have been watching the practice are the Lozier, Locomobile, Chadwick Six, Rambler, Htuiichaker and tlie Columbia. Timer for Each Car Ira Lotlirop, chief timer of (he race, has ilr \ sed a most perfect, system of timing the cars. Twenty-four Btop-watches will be L. B. Harvey, veteran who is chauffeur of RambJer machine in Santa Monica races, and with him Is Will Sheriff, mechanician. used, and each watch will be .set at the , same time, 8 o'clock, when the big race ! begins. .Two cars will be sent away at I minute intervals, the Chadwick Six, ] being an odd car, starting alone. A timer lias been appointed for each car, but not until the timers have en tered the stand ready for the race will it be known which car a timer has been appointed for. This precaution has been taken to Insure a fair deal to all 1 and to eliminate any chance of favor itism. As fast as a scorer, of which there ■ will be one to every two timers, an nounces the time of a lap this will be checked and the time of start deducted, I so that every time sheet will foot up, the exact time when the race Is over. ; I A card index system will be used to; facilitate the work of the timers. Last night a nui.iber of enthusiasts anxious to obtain points of vantage to witness the race camped in the enclos ure, and it was estimated that 10,000 auto followers spent the night In Ven ice and adjacent beach towns. Looks Like Record Time All indications point to the fact that today is the real "chug-chug" day of Southern California, and In the Santa Monica race has been developed a strong rival of the Vanderbilt race of the east. Nothing was heard along gasoline row yesterday but conjectures as to the outcome, and that the winning company will celebrate in royal fash ion tonight is assured. All owners of cars are conservative and admit the possibility of a slight mishap putting their favorite out of the race, but Earring this each driver and owner is certain that his car Is the best, and It is this spirit that prom ises to make today's races red letter events in the automobile history of California. ■» . » Anybody who would '■- able to find « n ■d<lrrim In the dictionary Mould be able t.
