Delorimier Race Track. July 13- Before a record crowd the first of the two-day automobile and aviation meeting was held here this afternoon. The track was in perfect shape, and the shattering of many half-mile track records was predicted as the drivers tuned up their cars in practice spins. The presence of the famous aviatrice Ruth Law, and such noted race-car drivers as Gaston Chevrolet, Louis Disbrow, George D'Alene, Jerry Won-derlich and Cliff Woodbury attracted the biggest throng which has ever seen an automobile race meeting in Montreal, and officials of the Great War Veterans, who are conducting the meeting, believe that to-day's at-tendance will be greatly exceeded to-morrow afternoon, when the final of the Liberty Handicap will be raced, with six drivers competing. It was also announced this afternoon that Miss Law would to-morrow pit her aeroplane against both Chevrolet and Disbrow in turn in the spectacular sport of earth and sky racing. Miss Law was given a tremendous recep-tion this afternoon, as clad in a neat khaki suit, she walked to get her aeroplane engine ready for the day's business. Two hundred soldiers policed the track inside and out to-day. Four carloads of wounded invalided soldiers were brought to the track to view the day's racing, the guests of Miss Law. Gaston Chevrolet, the famous French driver, and a typical French-man, received a great ovation from the crowd as he warmed up for the opening race, the first heat of his match race with Louise Disbrow for the world's dirt-track championship. The French Canadians gave enthusiastic support to the famous flyer. To-Day's Results Empire City FIRST RAGE Jack Stuart won. Trophy second. Nightstick third. SECOND RAGE Flags won. Ima Frank second.
