me largest crowd or the week at
tended the Newark Automobile Show
at Electric Park yesterday. On ac-
count of the Indictment weather the
scheduled parade of the demonstrating
machines was postponed until today.
Talk of next years show" increases
among the dealers as show week
wanes. The possibility of obtaining the
use either of the First Regiment Ar
mory of the Essex Troop Armory,
in Roseville. with the chances leaning
toward the latter, has been eagerly
discussed. While Electric Park has
done admirably in many ways for the
present show. the dealers agree that
with better trade conditions all over
the country next year should see an
unprecedented increase in business, and
for the adequate display of cars a large
building nearer to the centre of New
ark will be required.
The Allen-Kingston roadster, which
is n of the fancy cars of the show,
will he taken from Newark to the
Allen-Kingston factory at Kingston
on-the- Hudson, where it will be
stripped of tonneau and super1uous
parts and put III trim for the Briar-
cliff trophy race on April "a. The car
is a forty-horsepower machine, and
said to be capable of seventy miles or
better in racing trim.
The Oldsmobile six-cylinder demon
strating car arrived from the Olds fac
tory at Lansing, Mich, yesterday. The
car was driven to Newark from New
York. where il put up Tuesday night.
by w. c.. Falburt, of the Olds factory
at Lansing, who piloted the car the
whole distance from Michigan to the
coast.
The six-cylinder touring car is Of
similar type to the one purchased by
Colonel Austen Colgate from the
Greene Motor Car Company IN the
opening day of the show. The demon

II. T. Goodman, of the Pope-Waverly

nett, of South Orange; Thomas Fox
hall, of Passaic; Edward Moore, of
Passaic; +. S. Crickenberger, of West
field, and H. n. Bowman. of Orange.
Some Of the agents at the show are
maintaining no demonstrating ma
chimes at tile show. In explaining this
apparent omission one man said;
There are two good reasons for this.
The first is that a good many purchas-
ers do not care for an immediate dem
onstration, especially in cold or stormy
weather. The second and greater is
that we consider a show demonstration
next to useless. as it must ordinarily
be very short. and before a maj de-
cides to purchase a machine he will re-
quire another and more extended show
ing of the capabilities of the car, any
way"
