to enjoy the music there.
Time For Study.
| The visitor, If he be wise. Will spend
at least two hours in abe Industrial
| Hall. This will give him time to study
every exhibit, and it will give him the
/ opportunity of seeing some of the most
artistically arranged automobile dis
plays ever seen in Richmond, and
probably in any other city.
| The whole of the northern end of
! the building is thrown open to the
| automobile men. Their booths and
! their displays vie with each other. 1t
would be hard for a specialist to Sc
lect the best. But there is one par
| ticularly attractive display. 1t takes
| up much space. and 1t is embedded in
rustic surroundings. with autumn
boughs and evergreens intermingling,
| through which one can almost hear
the babbitng brook as 1t tinkies on its
way to the sea, beneath the leafy
bowers, to the music of the hooking
! birds in the ngurative willow trees.
There is n voting contest on in the
. Industrial Hall The November vet-
/ ing contest viii be as bubble 10 this.

fered n handsome gold and silver low
ing cup to the exhibit which receives
the largest number of votes. as the
most popular one in the building

teen inches high. and will hold about
half a gallon. He says the idea of
offering the cup was to encourage the
exhibitors TO do themselves good by
striving for the best display. Who
ever gets II. Will get n most valua BILE
