CONCERNING THE CHEAP CAR
A correspondant, whilst kind enough to appreciate my efforts to make these notes of interest to the motorist in the East, thinks better success might be achieved by devoting greater attention to the question of the "cheap" car. Wall, this is precisely what I havə, among other things, most in mind. The question, of coures, is what is intended to be conveyed, in this connection, by the torra "cheap" It is difficult t enthuse over the car costing less than, any £200. Personally, I do not care well for such CATE. I would much prefer a motor-biogole, with aide or fore car, a good tri-ost, or “ quid,” The obsepest four wheeled car on the market at present in the "O.T.A‚V.," of which the Junior Motor Car Compsoy, of Jermyn Sir, W., are the gate This is a b.p. single-arlinder, two senter, with boot, and wire wheels, capable of doing 25 to 30 miles per hour on the level, 3 speeds forward, no reverse, petrol consumption (roughly) one gallon to 40 miles.

THE PARIS BALON EXHIBITION. The great event in the motor world following apon Olympia, is the Paris Salon Exhibition, A good deal of information, "forecast, and other, is to hand, from which it is possible to gather a fair idea as to the conditions there.

The small cars, and | voiturettes, in which some reađars seem to be chiefly interested are vary prevalent. Saverat sra priced at about £109—the Passe-Partout for instance.
