Savannah, Ga., Nov. 1 2 The pre mier automobile drivers of the world contested for speed supremacy today in the classic Grand Prix, the year's blue ribbon international racing event, over a course that was as near ly perfect as months of labor could ' make it. IJefore daylight a good crowd had gathered about the course and by t:ie time for Starter Wagner to send away the cars the course was lined by more than a quarter of a million peo ple. Governor Brown and other Mtate dignitaries were among the spectators. ... . A gang of convicts worked all night on the course, giving it its final touches for the speed carnival today.

'.. . The course is 415.2 miles long and all the dangerous curves have been eliminated. About the track was 1500 national guardsmen under com mand of Colonel M. J. O'Leary. The soldiers were reinforced by hundreds of special officers, police and detect ives. Never before in the history of automobile racing have such elabo rate police precautions been taken. As the mechanicians put the final touches to their cars for the dash nwny, the crowds cheered the various drivers. Harry Grant, who won the Yanderbilt cup, received the greatest ovation as he prepared his AIco for the long struggle to hold the honors for America. Behind the grandstand were grim : lines of ambulances and temporary tent hospitals had been erected at points upon the course. Doctors were held in readiness to he carried away In racing cars if word of an accident was received.

Session of More Than Three Hours Last Xiglit The Order For Sal of Old House Went Over ruder Technicality rntll Next Meeting Four Aldermen Voted for the Sale and Two Against it Many Citizens Protest Against the Site Selected by Committee Charges and Counter-charges .Made draft and Brib ery Hinted nt Mayor Wynne Se. verely Criticised by Some of the Sneakers. After mure than three hours of the stormiest meeting of the board, of aldermen ever held ' In this city, cer tainly during the 5)11.01, fifteen months, and with charges and counter-charges, intermingled with hints, of gra.ft und bribery, the board last night fulled .to do--' anything looking towards tile speedy settlement of the market-house question, und today the mutter -stands iust about Where it did .months ago, , with the exception of the strife that has been aroused. By a vote of four to two tiie board voted to order the fair n:' the present market-house, bfily to have its action blocked by a tech nicality, which was raided by Alder man t'pchiirch and sustained by AliW; man t'pehurrh's vote olone. Now for thirty days It will sleep while the quar relsome citizens luss over the yorious sites, and for what purpose'; The prosper ts are that the bitterness of the democratic primary of last June wilt be exceeded by the strife of the market-house question, and all equally uncalled for. The present prospects are thar Balelgh will have a new market-house somewhere about the time a , democratic president is in augurated, certainly not before. .Many new things were learned about Raleigh last night. One was that the residential' portion of this city of 20,0(10 or more people, was confined to the immediate vicinity of the corner of Morgan and Blount streets. Another was that the location of the market would forever and eternally blight the many happy homes of the city which. according to argument advanced, are inly around there. Another was the stiong hints thrown out that there was "a nigger in the woodpile." The meeting seemed to be one for the purpose of making political cap ital lor the coming municipal election. and the audience was strongly fac tional. : The Meeting. ! But to the meeting. When Mayor Wynne called the board to order, the room was crowded with citizens, the interested and the curious. A roll call showed that Aldermen Brown, Cooper. Kllington, Johnson, Peebles and t'p- church were present. Alderman Cooper offered a resolution that tiie United States senators and representatives he urged to secure an appropriation for the purpose of proji- rly paving the streets and avenueR leading to the. federal cemetery; The resolution was unanimously adopted. A petition signed by thirteen keepers - of stalls In the present market-house was rend protesting against moving the market from the present site. , Another petition signed by A. A. Thompson! Cary Kr Durfey anil others was present protesting against locat ing the market at the corner of Blount and Morgan streets, and requesting the board to delay the matter until the committee could arrive at a "business like" conclusion. Xo Common Ground. Alderman Brown for the committee ippointed last week to try to harmon ize matters, reported that Hie ideas of the market -house committee were so it variance that there was 'no common ground for agreement anil asked that the harmony committee' be discharged. He then moved that the protesters be allowed to protest. The Protesters. ' . Mr. 15. T. Oliver was the first to render a protest against the location of the market at corner of Morgan and Blount streets. He plead for the "pro tection" of his home, eaying that If the market is put there his home Would be "ruined." He spoke of a petition which had been presented, par licularly of one. of the signers, Mr. Spciice. Here Mayor Wynne stated that-he ' understood that Mr. iSpunce had with drawn bis name from the petition. .
