The Relay Race.
Tho Kearney car, a Velio, driven by
Weingard, in tin Philadelphia Proas
relay race from Philadelphia to Soattle,
reached North Platto at 3:17 Wednes
day morning. After Photographer Vjh

hours and seventeen minutes, nn aver
age of about twenty milcn per hour. A

Tho trij) of the North Platte cur wns
n very enjoyable one to tho occupunts.

ated by tho movement of tho ear ox
hilerating. Tho car, both on the out
going und home trip, never fnltcred for
u second, und for short distances n
speed of forty-eight miles an hour wua
attained. About twenty-miles of the
road at intervals between here nnd

cross many sandy stretches between
Paxton nnd Ogalulla and Big Springs
and Julcsburg and there nro twelve or
fifteen sand hills to climb. Theso hills
ure not long, but they nro tinjo con
sumers, nnd in order to maintain nn
uverngo speed of twenty miles nn hour
on tho trip, it is necetisnry that tho
fastest Bpecd possible bo muintuined on
tho stretches of road that nro good.
Tho runmnde by tho North Plutto
car is considered nn exceptionally good
one, und tho occupants wore congratu
lated at Sidney by tho Press reprtsen

Tho ground is high nnd almost
with no trnce of alkali in tho soil.
This p.trt of town is being built up
very rapidly with tho bent cluss of resi
dences; thero being nbout twenty benu
tlful residences orectcd within n block
nnd n half of this nddltlon within the
