the automobile committee extends a general
invitation to all auto-vehicle operators to
participate in the automobile display. The
committee has endeavored to reach each
owner of an automobile by circular letter,
but it has been found impossible to obtain
the names and addresses of all. Mr.. DUN
states that replies from those to Whom the
circulars were sert have not been as nu-
merous as he had hoped and under the cir
cumstances it Is not practicable to assign
numbers to each carriage, as was the IN
tention Of the committee. 1t Is earnestly
requested, therefore, that all owners of
horseless vehicles in Washington who can
spare the time have their machines IN the
Monday parade and thus contribute to
make this feature OF the encampment
marked success.
