The figures are astonishing, but they are vouched for by the managers of the nutomobHe"khow which closed its doors the other night. The exhibition was under the auspices of the Chicago Automobile Club and the National Automobile Manufacturers and Its success Is evidence of the popularity of the horseless vehicle. Over 8,000 persons attended in one dny, which when one considers the limited proportion of people who can afford to be interested lu autos Is quite astounding.
