THE MOTOR RACE.
In connection with Mr. St. John’s notice of motion to take into
consideration the question of providing accommodation for visitors on
the day of the Motor Race, Mr. St. John said he learned that the police
authorities had taken action in the matter, and were making arrangements.
It would be important that a sufficiency of pure drinking water would
be supplied for the vast crowds that would be present. Chairman: Wouldn’t
you advocate mineral waters and a little stimulant in them? (laughter).
Mr. St. John said they should request the military authorities to lend
them a dozen or so of their water cars.– No action was taken in
the matter.
