Today is the biggest day of the
week and the best day of its kind
that the people of Trinidad have lad
the pleasure of witnessing for long
time. AS those who have seen the
events thus far know, it is the climax
of all the attractions which have
been staged up to the present time.
Seldom has n call upon publlc inter-
est and cooperation been responded
to with the alacrity and readiness
which has been a characteristic OF
the spirit shown throughout every
one of the features given in connec-
tion with the present exhibition. A
striking example of this spirit is at
forded in the carrying out of the dec
GRATED auto parade. The car owners
of the city have bestowed great care
and trouble upon the decoration OF
their machines. Competition is very
keen and the rivalry for first place IN

the arrangement and design of some

artistic genius. Material on many
of the competing cars have been Sc
cured in the east in order to furnish
the best possible effect.
But the best is yet to come. The
parade tonight will rival this after

splendid affair. The cars which took
part in today's parade will be seen
again this evening, and when it Is
remembered that the beautifully dec

the least will be startling. This
