Five Killed At Montreal

   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 racecar
drivers as Gaston Chevrolet, Louis 
Disbrow, George D'Alene, Jerry Wonderlich
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 attendance will be greatly
exceeded tomorrow 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 reception
this afternoon, as clad in a neat 
khaki suit, she walked across the field
to the hangar 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 Chervrolet, the famous 
French driver, and a typical Frenchman,
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
worlds' dirt-track championship.  
The French Canadians gave enthusiastic
support to the famous flyer.
