the garages were deserted every aft

the show, and the dealers settled down
to business yesterday in good spirits.
The amount of business done during
the week was extraordinary, and a fair
share Of it went to New Jersey, which
benefited the local trade
The Overland Motor Car Company,
of East Orange, reported twenty-three
sales of Overland cars to dealers
throughout the State, rs well as a few
residents of the Oranges. The Hickey
Machine Company, another East Or

to strengthen the belief that 1909 is go
ing to be a record-breaker in the auto
mobile industry.
a4 The show itself was one of the most
successful Of its kind ever held in New
York, and the exhibitors had nothing
but praise TO bestow on the men who
had the management of the huge under
taking. The preparations for the seven
days of the show % seven months
of work, and the results showed that
the labor was not expended in vain,
for the success from the start was be-
yond expectation. as almost 100000 per
SONS crossed the threshold of the Grand
Central Palace during the few days
that the automobile held sway, which
WAS a record attendance for a show OF
its kind. Al Reeves. the general man

every ono of the exhibitors at the show
came away perfectly satisfied with the
results obtained by them.

The people living on and about Man
haitian Island, though at the point of
greatest density of population on the
American continent, are brought by
the automobile within a few hours of
mountain heights where Rip Van Win
kle slept and where rude nature still
reigns needless of the city.
Emphasis of this fact, only half re-
allied by most, was given the other
day when d party of -four in the ourse
of a days run in a motor car not only
made Its way from New York up the
Hudson into the Catsktlls, but
turned about and made the return trip
tho same day in spite of snow in the
mountains.
Those who made the trip were r. j,
Morgan, of the New York Globe; Man

branch Of the Franklin Company; f.
E. Spooner. a well-known photog-
rapher, and Charles Fox. and they COW
cred the distance in a ~six-cylinder

Approaching the Catskills the party
had a three-mile climb over a treach-
erous mountain road covered with sew
eral inches of snow. Its turns We're
abrupt, but the route was covered
without serious difficulty. The destina-

the occasion OF Ncwarks second an
nual automobile show, which will be
held from February 20 to 81, are already
Of such large proportions as to war
rant the unqualified success of the
affair. and it is u foregoae eolSluslon
that the space allotments willSall be
taken when they are made on January
20. Secretary H. A. Bonnell, of the
New Jersey Automobile Exhibition
Company, who has the management of
the show in, charge. is in receipt of
Communications daily from prospective
exhibitors and no uneasiness is felt
over securing enough patrons.
A few OF the most skeptical at the
start expressed a fear hat the two
New York shows might interfere with
the local affair, but all doubt has been
removed by the receipt of d dozen let
tiers from firms exhibiting at the two
big shows, and at least this number
can be depended upon in addition to
the local firms. This also applies to
accessory exhibitors. New Jersey
agents alone will almost fill the sixty
five car spaces. and adding to this a half
dozen New York agents who handle the
Kew Jersey territory as we'll. 1t will be
plainly seen that no car room will go
begging.
The show committee is making prog
ress as rapidly as is possible. Practi-
oally all of the minor details are already
arranged and there remains but little
else to do until the armory building is
turned over to the automobiles to be
transformed into an exhibition hall.
The contracts for the decorations and
carpenter work will be awarded next
week and the successful concerns will
at once begin preparations for the work
allotted to them.
Aside from the decorations. which
will be in the national colors, the car
pentcr work will be the most important.
This will consist of laying an entire
floor in the big armory, which is now
covered with tan bark. and the cost
viii be exceedingly large. It is esti-
mated that the work altogether will
cost in the neighborhood of $500, but
even at this price the promoters of
the show realize that they are not go

The show committee held an i'm
