Chicago. Tickets for the auto derby and the military events which will accompany the ppeed contest were placed on sale yesterday at various hotels, clubs, and department stores In Chicago. Thus disappears any lingering doubt that may have remained as to whether the Chicago speedway is to have a race this summer. It is entirely possible that it will be th last big automobile race of the year In the United Btates, but this fact has not dampened the ardor of its promoters. Indeed, they express the hops that 100.000 spectators will be attracted to the festivities at the Maywood pval, which have developed from an affair of purely sporting interest to one of considerable significance as a patriotic and more or less warlike spectacle. To give occupants of the grandstands and unobstructed view of the infield, where an attack on a series of trenches is to be staged by high school cadets, the towering pagoda formerly used by race officials is to be removed and a section of the grandstand reserved for timers, scorers, Judges, and newspaper men.
Just now. If any one wants to fl ght, let them enlist, says the fovernor.
