GEN REVIEWING His TROOPS Ole TANK { Younc men stupyLaw) How sad! those who go to one visit the other, and all day to-day the crowds have surged to and fro between the big halls. The exhibition at the Garden is the Sixth National Automobile Show held by the Association of Licensed Auto- mobile Manufacturers. At the Armory the Automobile Club of America has charge, and most of the exhibits are by what dre called the “independent man- ufacturers,”” to distinguish them from members of the association. In both places every effort-has been made .to beautify the halls and add artistic sur- roundings to the mechanical display that is the feature of the shows. Crowd Comes Early. A noticeable change in axtendance was evident to-day when hundreds of pe: ‘ns began to arrive early in the morn- ing at both shows, This Is the result the experience of !ast year, when the crowds were so great at night that often it was diMfcult to'get close to the machines.
