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 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 Chevrolet, 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 world's dirt-track championship. The French Canadians gave enthusiastic support to the famous flyer. -------------- To-Day's Results Empire City First Race. Jack Stuart won, Trophy second, Nightstick third. Second Race.

Many thousand Montrealers viewed the sight at Delorimier Park this afternoon, when daring Ruth Law piloted her Curtis biplane against Gaston Chevrolet's flying car, and even more than that, from all indications, will see the famous girl to-morrow, when she is due to race both Chevrolet and Louis Disbrow in an earth and sky event at Delorimier.
