in the way Of the incoming autos.

desired every owner Of an automobile in
the city whether a member Of the club or
mott TO turn out with his or her machine
this afternoon to greet the visitors. onwers
ofautos are requested to assemble on Pearl
street opposite the Grand hotel at 1:3
O'Clock this afternoon and then proceed
to Broadway where they are to line up
on the south side OF the street east Of
