follows: "The negligence OF the defendant

sists I'm sending the son OF the plaintiff in
TO the elevator pit without giving him no.
tice that the counterweght was so ar
ranged az to descend into the pit as the

i'm the declaration is based upon the ale
CATION that the son did not know OF the
existence Of the counterw eight. He was
injured by getting his head in the path OF
the counterweight between the vertical
guides.
THE evidence very strongly prepond-
crates that 81 was part OF his duty to lu
bricate these guides every two days and
that he did so. He admits also that
twice day he visited the base
ment for the purpose OF turn
ing on and on the electric current by
which the elevator was operated. and TO
light and extinguish the gas lights. which
were there. The verdict il, therefore
against the clear weight OF the evidence
and the petition for new trial will be
granted"

Automobiles From All Parts of the
Country Will Gather at Some IiLi-
nOis Town and Make the Grand
Entree Into 81. Louis in Single
File.

st. Louis, May 25-A procession OF
August 10. 1t will be the largest pa
rade of motor cars ever attempted in
any country, and patterns of every kind
of machine made in the United States,
France, Germany and England wiz be
included in it.
Augustus Post, chairman of the tour
ing committee Of the American Motor
association, has notified the Worlds
fair management that the plans for the
great assembling OF Automobiles in st.
Louis, August 10, has met with the ap-
proval of the members Of his aSso-
citation, and that great delegations will
AXE part in the tour to ST. Louis.
The Various Delegations.
The New York delegation will leave
the metropolis July u, and the Bos-
ton delegation will leave the Hub July
&c. The New York tourists will be
joined by automobilists from all the
cities of New York state, save Buffalo,
while the Boston delegation will take

From Philadelphia a third party will
leave July q. This gathering will in
clude tourists from Washington and
Baltimore, and the combined delegation
will be joined by many other automo-
bilists at Harrisburg, Pittsburg and
other Pennsylvania cities.
About a week following the start OF
the eastern contingent, automobile DEL
egations will leave Milwaukee and Chi
cago. They will have representatives
from their adjacent territories, and
will join the eastern tourists at some
point in Illinois. A party from Mime
apolis, St. Paul and DeS Moines will

same point, and if the plans carry the
entire parade of the Automobiles will
roll into st. Louis in single file.

will be some Illinois town about 20 or
100 miles from St. Louis.
The National Automobile Manufac-
turers' association has abandoned It's
annual endurance contest, and instead

the Worlds fair parade of horseless
carriages.
