OPENS ON MONDAY

Governor Denney has consented
to come to this city on Saturday,
March 8. and pay the automobile
show a visit-perhaps make a short
speech and give the wonderful cars
that will be assembled at the Audi
forum for that exhibition the "once
over" In honor OF the chief execu-
tive OF the State, the Show Commit
tee has styled Saturday as Cover
nor's Day.
In addition to Governor Denney,
several down-state legislators who
are interested in motor cars will
come with him to the show. and IL
may turn into a politicians day"
When arrangements were being
made for the affair. the auto dealers
felt that It would not be complete
without having Governor Denney
here for one of the days. The ques-
ton Of his coming was put up to
his convenience, and as he is busy
every other OF the weekdays with
official business at Dover, he made
Il known that Saturday was the only
day on which he might leave the
State capital for a few hours leisure.
Dealers Day on Monday. the
opening day of the show. will have
as guests representatives OF down
State agencies for automobiles, also
several from the Eastern Shore of
Maryland. Branches here that have

have their agents look over the cars
so that they will be able to more in
telligently explain the fine points Of
the machine they represent to pros
pective purchasers.
The cars at the show will be ar
ranged so as TO display all OF the
most important features OF the cabi-
net makers art, as well as the other

will be sufficient protection for the
cars and visitors, special officers
having been engaged, although there
is no reason other than prepared

show committee is endeavoring to

their guests.
The Board OF Governors OF the
Wilmington Automobile Association
met yesterday afternoon and com
/ pleted "last minute" details for The
seventh annual exhibit. Things had
been so pretty we'll mapped out and
subcommittee had done theii
work so efficiently. that there was
little 10 be done except TO discuss
what had been planned.
While the auto show has been go
ing steadily forward for several
years. this is the first time that the
accessory dealers have really had
an opportunity to display their
wares 10 any advantage and they
will accept this opportunity this
year.
All the latest inventions in gas
saving, tire saving and repairing
electrical equipment and appurte-
nances that have come forward dur
ing the past year will all be on dis
, play.
Although they have had theii
. shows, motor dealers in New York
and Philadelphia have in the pas
two days evidenced a keener Interest
in this Wilmington display than an,
