" Society Day" DRAWS
CROWD TO Auto ShOW

with paper currency TO prove IL.
Sometimes he will be satisfied with
nothing less than the $4,000 palace on
wheels, or il may be light runabout
for use In the country that he is after.
He talks little and goes his way after
purchasing what he wants.
The small car exhibits are always
thronged. Many sales have been made
TO schoolboys, still in kn!ckerbockers,
the sons of the wealthy. These young
sters know what they desire In the au-
tomobile line as well as do their elders,
and once the salesman has demonstra-
ted that he "has the goods" the rest is
easy. The boy will either produce one
of his fathers signed checks or peel
the money off swollen roll of bills.
Buyers Names a Secret.
As a general thing the statesmen are
secretive about whom they sell cars 20,
contenting themselves with the state
ment that their business was "big" or
highly satisfactory"
The man in charge OF a display Of
electric coupes, when asked IL he had
done business with any prominent per-
sons yesterday. said: Don't ask me a
question like that VI told you whom
| had just made a sale to il would as
tonish you. One of the most prominent
men in this country bought one of our
cars this morning, but if we gave out
his name it would mean a heap of
trouble perhaps.
Why? Well, sometimes when a man
comes in here and buys a $4,000 car
he doesn't want it known. 1t would
give the impression that if he can af-
fora car he can pay up some OF his
old debts to tradespeople, and that
would never do"
The amount Of business being done
every day at the show is amazing
There is no indication of money being
tight" and the demand for cars, from
the smallest to the biggest and most
expensive, is constantly on the in
crease.

CLOSE CALL FOR CORNELL
Union Five Beaten Only After
Hard Struggle.

Ithaca, Jan. 6.-The Cornell basket
ball team had hard time in defeating
the Union five here tonight. The score
was "a 10 1S. The clever guarding tao
tics of the visitors, combined with the
scoring power in Houghton, the Union
leader, accounted for the check which
the championship Cornell five encoun-
tered.
Union led at the end of the first half,
10 to :. II was not until after five
minutes Of the second half had passed
that the weight of the Red and White
players told, and Lunden, Brown and
Ashmead scored in succession, placing
Cornell ahead, 20 to Il
Brown, Cornell's right forward. played
the best game for the victors, scoring
three difficult baskets and excelling his
team mate, Captain Lunden. The Bea-
yer brothers played their usual star
game for Union.

Even Doubling Admission
Fails to Affect the
Attendance.
HOW SOME WOMEN
BUY THEIR CARS
Statesmen Unwilling to Tell the
Names of Purchasers and
Their Reasons.

Even the doubling of the price of adj
mission failed to keep the crowds away
from the automobile show at the Grand
Central Palace yesterday, and all four
floors of the big building where the
cars and their accessories are on ex-
hibition were jammed to their capacity.
II is probable that only small por-
tion Of the $4,000 or 10000 persons in
the Palace were actual buyers, yet such
is the interest in automobiles that the
general public was willing and anxious
to pay their way in just to look over
the automobile luxury displayed before
them.
1t was Society day. yesterday, in
the words Of the press agent. The head
of the house was accompanied gener-
ally by his wife or daughters, and the
feminine members of the family were
often responsible for he check book
being pulled from the pocket and a
check being filled out 10 the satisfac-
ton of the salesman.
Trines to Catch the Eye.
II was usually the interior decora-
tions of the cars that took the womanly
eye. The statesmen were quick to take
advantage of this, and many sale was
consummated because the car was fitted
with dainty holder for m'lady's smell
ing salts, or an elegant little French
mirror or some other trife of the kind.
Not to say that the women don't
fully appreciate the value of a sound
motor or the lines of the car. Some of
the most feminine in appearance dis
played an amazing knowledge of the
inner mechanism OF the machines and
hurled questions at the statesmen so
rapidly and with so thorough an I'M
Outstanding Of the subject that the
demonstrators were speeches. for a
time.
IL is common saying among the men
who sell the cars at the auto show that
you can never tell a prospective buyer
from the other kind. Of course there
is the individual who approaches with
his pockets bulging with catalogues and
who makes figures and notations zeal
ously as he talks 10 the salesman. He
seems hardly able to wait until the car
is delivered to him, but first ne would
like a demonstration.
"The man behind the car" while DO
lite TO this particular species of auto
mobile bug" does not take him Sc
riously. He knows the type.
The Ways of Buyers.
But then there is a seedy-looking
man, who looks as if he had spent the
night in hay loft and whose trousers
bag at the knees. Perhaps he chews
voraciously, with frequent explosions
as he talks, but he means business and
