The plain people OF Englewood, N. j..
about 200 bank ~presidents, vice-prcsidents.
stock Exchange brokers and managers OF
business houses in Manhattan, gave an
illuminated automobile parade through q
big slice Of Bergen county last night to
whoop up the carnival hat starts on next
Monday for the benefit OF the Englewood
Hospital. The inhabitants Of a dozen small
towns aionR the route chosen turned out
to cheer the decorated machines, blazing
and glitterinK with Japanese lanterns
red hre.
The carnival, as Englewood folk proudly
advertise IL, will be the warnaeSt show
Jersey has known for some time. The un-
phonetic press agent, Seward ProsserS
vice-president OF the New Netherlands
Trust Company. also head barker OF the
big show, doomed and roared through
the small towns, announcing thai the car
nival would be "superlatively seismic, a
veritabIe volcano OF victorious velocity,
a detachable diaphonous dish Of ~hexagonal
and hsptamerous hilarity." Others who
are at the head Of the benefit, which viii
run a week, are Henry p. Dawson. first
vice-president OF the First National Bank;
z. II. Jewett of the Stock Exchange and
Jim Cassidy Anderson, general traffic
manager Of the Ontario and Western.
There are 30 many automobiles to the
square yard over in Englewood that they
give them away with boxes Of cigars and
bolts Of dress goods-at least that's h
the summer visitor hears. Anyway there
was no trouble getting up the big parade.
Fifty oars, each advertising a SIC show or
a feature Of the coming carnival, entered
and made the long trip over the good hard
Jersey roads.
The cars liued up at 7:3O O'Clock in Pabsade
street, opposite the carnival headquarters,
where Mr.. Prosser and Fl. c. Watson, editor
Of Dun's Reviev. have labored getting the
carnival plans in shape. Ned Jewett, the
grand marshal OF the big show, led the way
toward Hackensack, with Mrs. Jewett wav-
ing red fire torches.
The inhabitants Of Hackensack retire
early and nearly all. except the few dozen
who had been down to the staff on, by
George, to see that the 8 O'Clock train. got
in and out all right, were snoozing in bed.
Proeser was armed with a m~eRaphone,
scorned such adventurous aids and broke
loose in a genial and persuasive below.
With Jewett butting in now and then,
Proeser hurled such phrases OF advice as
this:
Come on, girls, and bring your beaux.
It'll cost you only 10 cents, the tenth part
Of a dolIarI 1t will neither make you nor
break you nor set you up In business! hey,
you mother with the baby, therel BRING
Il along and take the prize in the baby
show!"
Hackensack was slow to rise but by the
time the long line Of automobiles, three
miles of them, was half through there were
heads popping out Of every window and
white decked forms slipping deoorously to
the shelter OF doorposts q TO see the
show. Hackensack displayed all the new
est things in nighties and some very nifty
styles in suburban pajamas.
Jewett's car advertised the wild man
show, and banners tied to the sides OF the
machine informed the peaceful citizens
that "Bosco. the wild man, will eat EN-
alive" beginning on Monday, morning.
Jim Cassidy Anderson boosted the Blue
Macon show. banners announcing. that
perfect specimens Of the Oolyil, Junder-
dunk, Campigog, Unkleo, Jimdecamp, Bill
tiernee and Kumsdokt will he seem q. H.
Cornwall, a Wall Street man, drove a car
which footed for the boxing carnival that
will be held during E~nglewood's big show.
Mr.. Cornwall let the JerDeyites know that
positively the Hon. Thomas Sharkey, the
Hon. Ruby Robert F~itzsimmons and the
Hon. Kid Mccoy would ~oficiate at the box
ing matches and h there would be given
a scientific exhibition and explanation OF
! the most ancient athletic sport.

Rathbone Of the Stock Exchange firm
of r. c. Rathbone a Son whooped it up
for the "Bifurcated Lady" show. Henry
b. Dawson boosted the Uncle Sam"

Co. m~egaphoned the glad tidings that "a
death defying, dollar ~disregarding manage
ment provoked the pleasing plaudits Of the
proverbially~ prejudiced and pro~crastinating
that reduced rates had been secured for
visitors on all raiiroads east Of the Mississippi
River, and still another machine in vited
the Jerseyites to behold proud President
Prosser and ~profane neutrality-suspicious. in
pelagic propinQuity.'
Through every town the parade wen
chez ring, megaphoning and barking, the
villagers cheering. It's been a long time
since quiet Bergen county got so walked up.
There were minor accidents along the way.
Henry p. Davison's machine got into trouble
and passed out of act ion in H~ackensack.
| One or two others had to declare out Of the
fun, but of the fifty machines that started
| forty-seven finished in good order.
