AUTOMOBILES FOR CHICAGO.

Up-to-Dnte Passenger Vehicles to Replace Carettes Now in Use. The lumbering, unwieldy, old-fashioned curettes that Tor so long have plied between the business center of Chicago and Lincoln Park will give place about Sept. 1 to a system of automobile vehicles. The new vehicles are built to hold twenty passengers each, and can be closed in winter and opened la the summer. They have seats on top, and are equipped with heavy springs and large rubber Urea.
