PILOTS OFF IX HACKS
AT ELGIN, ILL.
Elkin, 114., Auk. 21.?The starter'*)
pistol sent the star automobile pilots
of the country away today in the
first of the annual races at Elkin
track, the classic events In automobile
circles in the middle West. The
course lay over nearly nine miles of
country roads through the greatest
dairying country of the world and
fringed by great crowds of spectators
who swarmed into Elgin last night
and early today from Chicago and
surrounding cities. Around 36 laps
tho drivers will rush their cars for
a total distance of 305.21 miles.
Today's event for tho Chicago Automobile
Club trophy and prizes
worth about $3,500 sent a field of
noted drivers away, but the Elgin
national trophy race tomorrow will
attract the larger crowd though the
prize money ofTered is about tho
same. Motor car traditions has
placed the Elgin national an the big
event in middle West racing and it
"has held the larger share of the in
terest from year to year.
Gil Anderson, who won last year"?
Elgin national, was an entrant In today's
race. He was one of th-5
popular favorites. Anderson arrived
here two weekfe in advance of the
race, established the Stutft camp and
has engaged in daily workouts
Wishart and Pullen, the Mercedet
starBf were other early arrivals this
year.
Eurther Improvement of the course
this year haa reduced the danger ot
accidents to a minimum. Cournc of
flcials found last year that by ellmi
natlng the dangerous "hair-pin" tun
they cut down the possibilities o
serious Occidents and they mad<
other similar alterations this year
The course was entirely resurfaced:
the turns were covered with crushei
stone and rolled and so banked tha
only a slight lessening of speed wil
be necessary in taking the mos
dangerous curves.

Tlie story carried in the mornli?K
papers that l'ope Pins' sister,

without foundation.

today viewed by the public for a
period of six hours. The remains

la body to lie In the throne room
'hero only the upper classes could
ee, but that he wanted to be placed
x St. Peter'H where both the rich
id the poor likewise could come and
low his body.
The matter of a conclave was dlsuased
today. It is said that a ma>rity
of the Cardinals are in favor
