The Washington herald., 1911-12-10

Within a few days the committee Will
have most of the preliminary plans made
| for the coming automobile show, and
will then canvass the dealers in order
| to ascertain at what time the factories
| Will be able to ship the exhibits fTprl
| the Madison Square Garden show, &C.
AS yet the time and the place are un-
| decided upon. but It seems to be the
universal opinion among those who will
! exhibit that the proper time would be
as near February ! as II may be possible
to secure hall and make the extensive
Preparations which are already planned.
Col Long. chairman. in an interview
yesterday said that as yet 1t was i'm
| possible to say whether Convention Hall
could be secured on that date or not,
/ but that the committee working on 1t,
he hoped. would be able to report def
nitely within a few days as to when
and where the show would be held.
The motion pictures OF the interna-
uonal automobile races. held in Savan-
nan, have been showing at one or two
OF the local photo playhouses. and are
| exceptionally good In some ways the
viewing of the races through the eye OF
the camera has great advantage over the
actual attendance Of such long and al
most tedious event, where one has to sit
: or stand for hours in order to be sure to
not miss those thrilling moments when
an accident or something of the sort
seems certain. Barney OldfeId once said
no one would fancy and hardly any one
would attend such a race were It not
/ for the thrill of harbreadth escapes from
death >On the part of the daring drivers
and the hope that one might be an eye
witness of an accident. should one hap
pen, which keeps the spectators ever on
the alert and is the reason for their
standing for hours 1T timc With their
eyes glued on the cars rushing past"
For those who have not had an oppor-
tUnity to see these pictures the Academy
and Gayety will both show them to-day
as part of their regular show.
