''Donar Day" at the automobile show in
Madison Square Garden had little or no
eject In keeping down the attendance yes
ter6ay and the big inclcsure was crowded
nicst Of the afternoon and evening, not only
with sightseers, but with buyers. One Wis
..or who has not missed an evening since
the exhibition opened, s; i'd last night:
The more one sees OF the show the more
one is impressed with the magnitude and
Importance OF the same: the more one
realizes TIE millions OF dollars in capital
end the wealth Of brains and effort that
has beea. and is now, invested in the indus
try. At first one Is impressed with the
beauty ana splendor of the exhibit and
then Inarvels that all this wonderful work
has been the result Of only twelve years
Of experience on the part of the pioneers
.n the motor industry Some have termed
tbs exhibit the 'shox beautiful 1t is q
good term. but hardly expresses the actual
or full condition. II is really the show
beautiful and perfect From the basement
TO the roof the hand of the master is every
where apparent
The decorations which have most i'm
p-gtant bearing on all shows. have done
much TO make this one an artistic success,
end on every hand IS heard praise of the
work Of tha designer and decorator. w. w.

carried TO a greater degree than ever. Tho

and for once no complaint OF lack OF light
at night is heard.
It Is necessary for one to make several
visits 10 the show to appreciate TO the full
IRE completeness OF the exhibit. Every day

de not lack material for consideration.
In almost all the motors displayed the
cylinders are cast either in pairs or in
block. There is, however, one six-cylinder
motor cast in triplets. perhaps the only one
OF its kind in the show
In the electric vehicle exhibit there is
one shaft driven electric pleasure car. Out
side OF that one feature. however. the cleo
tries differ only slightly from the models

is constantly on the increase, and the field
for this particular line is rapidly broaden
ing. according TO the statesmen.
Among the prominent members of the
sutonlobils industry who arrived at the
show yesterday was Hugh Chalmers, a
member of the executive committee os the
A l. A NJ. Mr.. Chalmers spent the
entire day and evening in the Garden and
expressed himself as delighted with the ex-
hibition. He said:
''Sot only the show committee but New
York has the right to be proud of the
tenth national show. It is one of the great
est industrial exhibitions I have ever at
tended. To begin with, 1t is the biggest
show ever held in the Garden The thought
that appeals most TO me in connection with
this exhibition is that it represents the
turthest stage of progress in the mechani-
cal and industrial arts. The automobile is
mans supreme achievement in a fnechan-
icsl way.
Man dreamed of a self propelled vehicle
far thousands of years before he finally
discovered how 10 build it, Now the auto
mobile is the most potent factor in the
solution of our greatest problem, Our
greatest problem is that OF transportation
Those countries are most progressive which
have the best facilities for transportation
or people and commodities. When we stop
80 think that a few years ago it was i'm
possible for a man living a short way in
the country to get downtown TO business
In less than half day unless he happened
TO be located where he could get a fast ex
press train; when We realize that now the
same man with a motor car can start right
from his own door and in an hour be trans
ported in comfort and seclusion TO the yerv
conscious
of what the automobile really means in our
everyday life"
Two trophies too massive for a place in
the trophy cabinet occupy permanent posi-
fions on the main floor. One the Wander
bit Cup, for whose temporary ownership
the speed kings OF the world have long
oontended, is 10 the left of the main en-
trance, on the footboard of the Alec car
which won the last struggle on Long
leland. The other. the around the world
trophy. won by George Sinister, is at the
other END OF the building, in the Thomas
booth.
