VIEW FROM THE PAST

Auto enthusiasts from all parts of Nevada swarmed into Reno last Saturday , attracted by the automobile races for Memorial Day. Fallon was there in force because R.L. Douglass had entered with his Stutz racer and his friends confidently expected he would carry away the laurels. They reckoned rightly for he took the lead early in the 77 mile race, not making a single stop the entire distance. Five cars started the race, but the Mercer wrecked at the first turn, and the Thomas car met a similar fate. Two Hupmobiles were in the race to the finish behind the Stutz.
