The race will be to decide a bet, Hill putting up a check of $1,000 against $500 that he will be the winner. The race will start from the Palace hotel at Crookston, and will be an endurance contest, both going through to Minneapolis without stopping, except to replenish their gas tanks and make any repairs that might be necessary. Hill will drive his own Packard, while Harland will be at the steering wheel of a high powered Marmon, which is at the Indianapolis automobile races and will be shipped to Crookston. It is understood that both contestants will have the right to travel over the road at least twice before the race so as to familiarize themselves with conditions.
