when the First Regiment band
plays th opening march, tho
eighth annual Omalta Auto
mobile uliov will bo on at thu
Omaha Auditorium, whero It
will continue aftornoona and cvon
lnss during tho entire week. There
within the bulMtnff and upon tins
100,000 square feet of floor epooe will
tx housed moro than 1,000 exhibits,
valued at, approximately, Jl, 250,000. There
will be found the modest little cars val
ued lit as low as 3j0, whllo not far away
will bo the beautiful machines, done In
gold and sliver, and mode to sell as hlrfh
aa JlO,C00. Flfty-slx makers will have
theln wares ready for taeneotlon and be
sides these upon the two floors of the
big exposition building will be found
everything required by the automoblllst.
be he tho man who runs a machine for
the pleasure that he sets out of it or the
man whet is out for business.
iranasaer Powell Is proud of the sue
oess that Is bound to coma along- wltn
this, the eighth annual, show. When he
and his army of workmen quit the build.
Ins: Just as the clocks were striking the
hour of midnitfht last night he pro.
bounced the show ready for the public.
The last car had been; plaoed upon the
epaoo assigned, the last of tho decora
tions had been put up and the effect was
more oharmlng than hd been antici
pated.
Ifo Srore Spaoe.
If another maohine had been entered
It Is doubtful if Manager Powell could
havo found space for it. Every foot of
floor space was occupied and still there
were machines to bo located. To solvi
what seemed to be an unsolvable prob
lem the driveway leading from the main
to the lower floor had to be utilised, and
consequently late last night several auto
mobiles had to be stationed In tno drive
way off Fifteenth street "While this Is
mot considered regular exhibition space,
It proved to be excellent, being well
ngniea ana right at a placo where
crowds are constantly passing after tho
show starts.
Then, too, them were several other mn-
chlnes that camo late. The exhibitors
wero fixed out so that they wero satis
fled, for they wero given places ' in the
vestibules or undor the galleries.'
Motorcycles come in so rapidly during
tho last few days that it seemed than
there would be no placo fon them. They
had originally been assigned places under
the galleries, but they overflowed this,
and it was found neoessary to locate a
number of them in tho aisles. The fire
chief, of course, ohjeoted to closing tho
aisles, but Manager Powell,, equal to the
occasion, pointed out that thero would
be as much space on eaah side of the
lines of motorcycles ,as tho provisions of
the city ordinances provide for, and as &
result tho chief went away satisfied.
Basement Filled. '
The basement, or lower floor, Is Jut
as closely filled as the main floor. Most
of the commercial cars and trucks are
down there. There are about double as
many of these cars as were expected,
but they are all provided for and they
are an interostiwc bunch of machines,
specially to the man who Is interested
in the business end of the automobile
game.
On th lower floor thre are earn that
ore cars. There are a dozen or so of
the big truoks, some of them sufficiently
large to carry as much la weight and
bulk as could be loaded into a freight
car and move off over most any kind
of road at a speed of from fifteen to
twenty miles per hour.
In sites the commercial vehicles run
all the way down, there being some that
are just big enough for one roan and a
few packages. The cars of this- class
are the kind used for quick delivery of
small parcels and looked upon as being
tjulte the thing for merchants' who so
frequently have to make some special
dellvelles, and those In a hurry.
Another class of commercial vehicles
that are Interesting are those that are
designed for the use of the rural route
mall carriers. They are tho high speed
kind, simple to manipulate and carry
easily 1,100 pounds at eighteen to twenty-
five miles per hour. With many rural
carriers, they are said to have become
a neoessity since the parcel post law
went Into effect. "With one of these ma
chines, it Is said that a oarrltr can
easily cover a route of fifty miles in four
hours, while with a team, it would require
an entire day and a long one, at that.
Of course, carriers don't cover fifty
miles per day with a team, but these
auto give an Idea of what would be
possible If a route of this length hap
pened to be assigned to a man.
Cars nf All Kluds.
Up on the main floor there Is about
every kind of car that has ever been
made and they run from the dainty little
lectrio. Just large enough for two per-
tDDPtrfvth big touring, cars, some hftY.i

The Idea of special nights, originated
by Manager Powell, Is expected to prove
decidedly popular. For Instance, there
Is Tuesday night, designated as Council
Uluffs night- It is expected that the
people of Council lt'.uffs will turn nut
in force at this time, but they are going
to be welcomed Just as warmly any oilier
jglght. Then, too, Omaha people and those
from South Omaha, Florence and else
whero will bo mmle to feel at homo,
even If the night has the Council II hi r fa
brand upon It. Tho name can bo said of,
all the other nights.
"Wednesday night has been named So
ciety night, but that does not mean that
others are going to bo barred, or that
the doors will bo closed to them. Even
If Wednesday night has been sot nstdo
for society, tho man with a Uttlo soot,
dirt or oil on his sack coat will bo Just .
an much nt homo as If ho was garbed
In a claw hammer and a brood oxpnuso
of whlto shirt front "While nights have
been sot aside for different towns and
people, tho show Is. everybody's show.
I,lKlitinic Suprrli.
The interior llghUng of the Auditorium
during Automobile show weok will with
out doubt surpass anything ever nt
tompted liv tho west. No expense has
been spared and tho expert eloctrlclaiin
who havo had the work In hand feol
fully satisfied that they havo something,
entirely new, but eomethtng that will
please and attract the attention of all.
Always well lighted, during show weok
tho interior of the big building will pos
sess a brilliancy and flood of light that
will put .the sun to shame. Inside tho
building nt night It will be as light nn
outside at mid-day. To bring this about
more than 3,000 lights havo oeen installed,
llows of .lights have been strung along
tho front of tho balcony, back and ovor
tho stage, whllo hundreds moro havo
been placed high above the main floor,
thus shedding their rays Into every nook
nnd corner of tho gallery,
Thn climax In artlstla lighting, however,
has been reached on tho main floor,
where more than l.GOO powerful mazda
lights will shine out from the tops of
artlstla white posts, twenty feet high.
To properly show tho exhibit tho main
floor has beon out up with long aisles,
extending from one end of the building
to the other, running east and west. Tho
exhibit spaces are on either side of these
aisles. Along these and at frequent In
. torvals tho high whlto posts havo been
erected and from tho top of each then
will be clusters of lights. They will burn
Inside ground glass globes that will
soften the light and mollow lt yet taking
,away none of its brilliancy.
IIk1i4n In Front.
flpeclal attention will be given to thn
outside lighting. In front of tho build
ing and over the main entrance there
will bo a number of nro lights, whllo
from tho Fifteenth and Howard street
comer an immense electric sign, thirty
feet long and containing 600 lights, will
be suspended fifty fcot above the street
level.
This slsn will contain two words. "Auto
Show," and tho letters of tho two words
will contain 150 Incandescent lamps. Tho
letters will be six feet high and they will
be so brilliant that they can be seen
distinctly and read fully two mlloa away.
While considerable has been written and
said about the music, thero are a number
of surprises In store for visitors at the
show. Desldcs the concerts, there will
be some of the best vocal muslo hoard
In Omaha in many n day. A couple of
quartets have beon secured by Manager
Powell and the members of these organi
sations will rendsr selections at frequent
Intervals evory afternoon and ovenlng.
Dosldes the quartets thero will be a num
ber of soloists of rare musical ability,
and to cap the climax thero will bo a
chorus. Manager Powell figured on this
from the start, but not until Saturday
afternoon was ho ablo to announce that
he had closed a contraot with the sing
ers. It will be a mixed chorus of fifty
voices, roost of the people participating
' being well known in Omaha musical cir
cles. Decorations Beautiful.
Tho decorations of the Interior of the
Auditorium are going to furnish the show
visitors wllh a most pleasant surprise.
It Is well known that for the display of
artlstlo decoration, there Is no building
In Omaha that possesses such great pos
sibilities as does the Auditorium. This
has always been the general opinion
and this opinion was more fully fixed
when Decorator Colling visited the place
with Manager Powoll and was given a
free hand.
For three days Colling and hts men
have been busy. They have not only
worked on the main floor, but they have
worked In the galleries, on the, lower
floor and on the stage, with the result
that no longer is there anything barny
about the interior of the Auditorium. No
where are there any unsightly posts,
beams or columns. These have all been
wrapped with bunting and converted into
things, of beauty. Over and along the
balcony rail and up In the galleries, ros
ettes and festoons have broken up the
long open spaces and no place Is thero
foi'nd even a suggestion of tho former
appearanco of tho bleak and bare walls.
Everywhere there Is a warmth of color
and something dtcldedly homelike.
