Looks Like Vast Lawn.
A green carpet covers all of the ex-
hibition booths on which the cars stand,
so that, viewed from the balcony, tho
cars look as if they were standing on
a vast lawn. This effect is still further
carried out by the wide aisles, with the
lows of rnate Ventian lanterns mark
ing off the different exhibition spaces.
The Empire Women's Orchestra of
Boston will occupy the octagonal-
shaped bandstand in the centre of the
main floor. Concerts will be rendered

sions, and it is predicted that this
feature of the exhibit alone will make a
hit with the members OF the gentler
sex who appreciate high-class music.

cellent films showing daring spirals and
loops being made in the Wright ma

has become an important part of New

can be seen nowhere else so well as 1t
will be presented here.
