AUTO PAGEANT
PROMISES GALA
SIGHT TONIGHT
Many Novel Effects Are AS
sured in Decoration
of Cars.
FORMER GOV. FORT AND
Mr.. HAUSSLING GUESTS
Line of March Will Bring Cars
Through Centre of
City.

King Automobile VIII hold sway in
Newark tonight, as about everybody
who Is anybody in an automobile way
will be out either as a participant or
a spectator of the automobile pageant
which will be held throughout the
city's streets. The pageant is to be
the most pretentious affair of its kind
in Newark since the automobile has
come into vogue, and It Is expected
TO make a place for Newark in the
automobile circles of the country.
The business men of the city,
whether they be automobile men or
of other persuasions, have entered
into the spirit of the occasion. Busi-
ness houses have been decorated law
ishly and efforts are being made in
other ways to show the appreciation
of the owners for the parade. The
automobile has so entered into the
life of Newark that there is hardly
any business house which is not in
some way identified with the use, sale
or manufacture of the motorcar.
Thus their interest in tonight's affair.
Decorations connected with the pa
rade will be really the feature of the
entire affair. Buildings all over town,
DuI ESPECIALLY Ol1 AAit 1iIC "a
march, have been profusely adorned
with flags and bunting. The cars
which will take part in the pageant
will be decorated lavishly. There will
be something more than formal flag
dress, too, for some very novel ef-
fects will be sought for, and the de-
signers have been busy for weeks
producing effects. Just what the de-
tails Of designs are have been kept
pretty well in the dark, for there are
to be prizes for these decorations,
and nobody wants to tip off his hand
to give the other fellow capital.
Many Dignitaries to Take Part.
There viii be many dignitaries to
participate in the affair Governor

pincott. who was State motor vehicle
commissioner until this week, will be
on hand, but his successor, William
L. Dill, win not be, as he made an
other engagement before he received
his invitation. The latter was neces-
sarily late, as he didn't receive his ap-
pointment as commissioner until Mon
day night.
Final arrangements for the parade
were made last night at a meeting Of
the various committees at the New
Jersey Automobile and Motor Club.
Chief among these was the session of
Grand Marshal William j. Morgan
and the assistant marshals. Most of
the marshals are members of the
Motor Truck Club of New Jersey, and
they have been directed to take entire
charge of the truck division. Captain
William Stucky, Of the police traffic
squad. attended the meeting. He told
the motorists that he would have the
police motorcycle squad to handle the
parade, with a squad of four motor
cyclists leading the way, and the
others being strung out along the line
to see that there are no breaks In the
procession or that outsiders don't in
terfere to break up the formation.
Then the Motor Truck Club mem
bers, who, as marshals, will have
their own division in charge, have
laid out their plans and they have
everything down to such a detail
that they can tell where every mar
shall will step forth to take charge
of his section. The priz5 commit
tee talked their end of the affair
over last night and they have de-
cided to divide their committee so
that there will be about three mem
bers to each division. They will
have some motorcyclists TO help
them and act as messengers. The
prize committee will come ahead of
the other vehicles until they reach
