Big AUTO SHOW
NEARING ITS END

NEW YORK, Nov. THE automobile
show in Madison Square Garden is now
half over. and those whose business has
confined them to the big garden since the
opening night are not Borrowing, for 1t has
been u hard and trying week. Many of
those who are interested in various ways
cdme to this city for the Grand Central
Palace Show, and they are still more tired
and worn out than those whit started in
fresh with the second show.
The affair has been a tremendous sue
cess. The display is the best ever made
by the Licensed Manufactures Associa-
ton since its organization. and II would
appear almost impossible TO excel 1t III any
way, The vast interior of the big building
is beautifully decorated, and the blaze OF
light which is turned on when arkness
approaches is almost dazzling. In fact,
many OF the statesmen and other attendants
| at the various stands complain that their
eyes are affected by the great brilliancy OF
The immensity of the display can be
! appreciated when ii is understood that not
only every available foot OF space on me
main floor of the building not absolutely
| necessary for aisles is taken up with eX-
| hlbits, and in addition to this the four
stories of galleries are also occupied ana
! the basement Is filed with exhibits. Inc
| gallery display includes the tires, aces
series, etc, which are in endless variety
and in the ba sement Is a splendid eSllDil-
ton of commercial trucks and other VEN.
Giles. and also a beautiful display of motor
bicycIes' The growing popularity of the
latter IS shown by the fact that in the
basement are on exhinitlpn lwen.gnSe tr s
cyles, some of them of the most elaborate
finish. =.
Where there is so much TO be seen it IS
hard TO select the most attractive display,
but one of those that always has a crowd
around 1t is the booth of the Gilmore auto
mobile, which has a chassis, with a two
cycle engine, cut open, Owl the actlon

running by electricity, and 1t gives a very
clear illustration Of where the two-cycle
engine differs from the four-cycle motor,
Other working parts of the car are shown
under glass, and there Is always a crowa
surrounding this booth. Other companies
show the working parts of their cars under
glass. and there seems to be a desire on
the part OF many of the visitors to STUDY
their action and get an Intelligent view OF
their workings.
Another novelty, perhaps the most infer
estiug in the show, at least for those who
are looking for a moderate-priced ear, Is
the new runahout of the Buick Company
1t is n f~our-cylinder car, with a rumDie
seat, and is neat in design and beadtlfui
in finish. Experts In autonlobiling say that
this car will be one OF the greatest sellers
in the whole list OF 1908 machines
TIL Winton stand is attractive from tne
fact that it Is the only company which eX-
hibits only six%-cylinder machines. These
are shown in all the different designs,
r%unabout, touring cars, linlousines, etc.,
and the display is certainly a very attrac-
tive one.
The attendance has been very heavy.
Yesterday and last night. despite the rainy
weather, the place was so crowded that II
was uncomfortable, and many OF the Wis.,
tors saw very little OF the vast display, be-
ing satisfied with a view from any gond
point of vantage they could gain. Many
OF the leading exhibits will be shipped di-
rectly from the Madison Square Garden to
she show of the Philadelphia Automobile
Association, which is to be held in the Firs
Regiment Armory, beginning ON Saturday,
