SEVENTY-FIVE (?) AUTOS.

An automobile passed through town Wednesday night, with two men from Indianapolis, enronte to Hammond, where they were to meet a few members of the Chicago antomobile club who were making a trip to Mammoth Cave, Ky. They were expected to pass through Rensselaer yesterday, reaching here abont noon, but at the hour of onr going to press no signs of the crowd had appeared, but it was said that there were five “bills” on the way, instead of the seventy-five which a local paper said would be in the party. Quite a crowd of men, women and children pat in several hoars on the public square, anxiously waiting to catch a glimpse of the/expected long line of antos, many going without their dinner for fear they would miss them. They were siill waiting when The Democrat went to press.
