SPEED PREPARATIONS ; FOR ELGIN ROAD RACE, TO BE HELD AUGUST 14 Great progress has been made! in preparing the road for the Elgin automobile road race, which is to take place on the old course August 14 instead of August 21, as previously announced. The advance in the date is to ac- commodaie the racing men, so they may have ample time to fix up their mounts after the Elgin and not be delayed in getting to the Uniontown | speedway for the Labor Day meet | there. 4 The east, north and west legs of | the course are nowin the pink ofcon- | dition; in fact, better than any por- There is some work to be completed on the south leg, but that is better than at any time heretofore. As soon as the dragging of the south leg is completed 30,000 gallons of road oil will be spread over the surface of the eight-mile course and then the drags will be kept going to smooth out every little wrinkle. At the same time every stone of any size will be raked off. Then a week prior to the race another 10,000 gal- lons of oil will be spread on lightly to act as a dust layer. In the meantime the other work of preparing for the race is going on both by the Chicago Motor club and the Elgin Automobile Race associa- tion.

This has been moved from the basement to the second floor, where it occupies the entire space, with the exception of what is devoted to the store's offices. In or- der to make room for the depart- ment, an apartment in the rear, which was occupied as a dwelling, was va- cated and the partitions were torn down, affording a large display room extending from front to rear of the building. New wall cases, show cases, shelves and light fixtures are being installed, and it is expected that the new sporting goods department will be completed by the last of this week. It will then be, in the opinion of Man- ager Kellar of the store, as com- pletely equipped and stocked as any in or near Chicago. The basement space formerly oc- cupied by the sporting goods depart- ment, will be given over exclusively to commercial stationery and office supplies. Other alterations in the store and in the building it occupies are to be started soon. It is expected that they will not be completed before the end of the year. ABOUT 1,000 ATTEND PICNIC OF CRESCENTS AT FOREST PRESERVE More than 1,000 young people of the north shore gathered at River- side on the forest preserve south- west of the north shore, Sunday and participated in the annual picnic and dance given by the Evanston Cres- cents, an organization of Evanston boys. This is the largest gathering that has attended a similar occasion at Riverside for a number of years. The picnic began in the afternoon, but the greater part of the gathering did not arrive until after 7:30 o'clock in the evening. From that time on the crowd poured in both by auto- mobiles and the street cars. The pavilion at Riverside was beautifully decorated with the cres- cent, the symbol of the organization, the. dominating feature. Refresh- ments were served, and the several |: hundred guests of the Crescents at the picnic went away admiring the ability of the members of the organ- ization to stage a real entertainment.
