Palace or Madison square Garden.
Boston's annual exhibition OF motor
vehicles and accessories, though styled
local show by the manufacturers. will
again have a greater number OF different
makes of cars this winter than either OF
the two big New York shows. Like the
big Western show Just closed at Chicago
the Boston show will have licensed and un-
licensed American and European cars
side by side and the Boston men are pre-
dieting that Mechanics Building will house
even greater number OF different cars
than the Coliseum. Coliseum Annex and
First Regiment Armory did in Chicago,
as quite few cars made in the East we're
not shown at Chicago but will be displayed
in the Mechanics Building by the Boston
agents
In spite OF the fact that Mechanics Build
ing has 10000 square feet of available
exhibition space. a larger amount than
that In either Grand Central Palace or
Madison Square Garden. Chester I. Camp
bell. manager Of the show, is having even
more trouble than usual in caring>for the
many Arms that have ssked for space allott-
ments at Boston. As Is the regular Gus
tom the Boston exhibition will be the latest
one OF the big shows. and this winter it
will be held from March TO ~.
Manager Campbell has always prided
himself on the beauty of the decorations
at the Boston show and promiaes that the
setting for this winters exhibition will
be an innovation in decorating for a motor
vehicle exhibition. Following the regular
custom Wednesday will be set aside as
society day and night and the admission
price will be raised.
