Board Of Trade and Local A. G.. v.
Men viii Give Munsey Tourists
Welcome,

| welcome.
August 20, the date on which the
contestants of the Munsey Historic
| tour passes through Montpelier, stop
ping here for luncheon, will be mark
ed by numerous events, which will not
only make the stay of the tourists in
the city a pleasant one, but will also
afford considerable pleasure to local
residents and auto owners, in fact, it
will be a real gala day and the pro-
gram being arranged by the Board Of
Trade and the members OF the Auto
mobile Club Of Vermont is one that
will not be soon forgotten.
The latest plan for the day decided
upon is a decorated auto parade for
members of the A. G. ", and as a run
of the club to this city for that date
has been called, the affair will I'M
doubtedly prove exceedingly interest
ing and it is expected that every one
of the local members and the MEM
bers from Barre, as well as a goodly
number of out of town members, will
enter their cars for the event. Suita-
BILE prizes will be awarded to the best
decorated cars and competition for
various other prizes will also be held
Vice President J. M. Boutwell, of the
A. c. ", who presided at the joint
meeting of the Board of Trade and the
A. G. V. last week, will shortly ap-
point committee to arrange for the
parade and various prizes and to
arouse enthusiasm and interest in the
day and the decorated parade and to
arrange the details of the competition
for the various prizes and to arrange
for the securing of the prizes.
Auto owners from out of town who
are members of the A. c. V. need not
hesitate about making the run to this
city for the occasion for fear that
there will be insufficient accommoda-
tions as committee is to be appoint
ed to arrange for the proper parking,
or standing room, for the cars of
club members and police for guarding
them, also to arrange for the noon
supply of food for the visitors and re-
freshments
The reception committee will be ap-
pointed to give the visitors from out
of town the glad hand and make their
stay a pleasant one by a little cor
diality
A band concert will be rendered by
the local band during the stay of the
tourists in this city as previously an
nounced.
