PARADE OF AUTOMOBILES.
First Run OF the New York Club Tool
Place Saturday After

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-The first run Of
the Automobile Club Of America took place
yesterday afternoon. 1t started from the
Waldorf-Astoria and proved as attractive
a sight as has been seen in the streets of
this city for long time. The parade was
not society event. 1t was an Industrial
affair. But the fact that promoters of
automobiles. lOcomobiles. and gas, petrole-
uIn, ard electric carriages Were vitally in
terested made the event notable. All
styles and kinds of vehicles We're shown.
There Were yictorias and high carts, and
phaetons and runabouts. Every type or
carriage seen in the parks daily was there
only the horses were lacking. Uniformed
and women sat beside the drivers. There
were sixty-two carriages in line. At the
head was Avery D. Andrews III an electric
victoria. BY his side sat jefferson Selig-
man, and when this vehicle was started
from the Thirty-third street side of the
hotel the other carriages fell i'll line, and
the procession moved.
Down Madison avenue the parade rolled
at rate of about four miles an hour. AT
Madison square the long line crossed TO
Fifth avenue, thence TO :dount Morris
park. and back TO the Wa.doTi-Astoria.

THOUSANDS VIEW THE SCENE.
Great Crowds ThrOnEed the Vicinity
of the Great Fire-Spectacle of
Ruin Presented,

Thousands of spectators visited the ruins
of the big department store of the Jones
Dry Goods Company, that was completely
destroyed by fire early yesterday morning.
All day long the smouldering ruins of the
store were visited by throngs of the Curl
ous, who watched the firemen fighting the
dying embers of one of the most destruct-
i've fires that has ever been seen IN KAN
sas City.
The scene of the ruins was chaotic. The
flames burned brightly all day yesterday.
Notwithstanding the many streams Of
water that were kept playing as energet-
ically as though the fierce fires were Iurn-
Ing as brightly and as devastatingly as
they were the night before.
In spite of the efficient work of the fire
department the flames could not be en-
tirely subdued and Assistant Chief Alex
Henderson said last night that they
would not be extinguished until late this
afternoon.
The many visitors who saw the ruins
were well rewarded for their trouble. The
great six story building that was occupied
by the Jones Dry Goods Company was
completely destroyed and nothing remains
but two portions of the back walls that re-
sernble tall cathedral spires. These will be
torn down to-day by the firemen. they
