 witb picture of the winning car, and 

 was awarded to William F. Matteson. 

 The car was decorated by Z. D. Black- 

 istone. 



For the most beautiful car driven by 

 a woman there was a prize of a $200 

 diamond ring. This car was also dee- 

 orated by Blackistone and was a huge 

 basket decorated with pink rambler 

 roses and green.
