The expenses of these men will be about $500 each. Then there are the drivers and the salaries of all for the six weeks of time from the preparation to the close of the race, which brings the grand total up to fully $600,000. Following the big race the day after Thanksgiving there will be a rece of small etock cers in which twenty-six entries have already been made.
