THE BILLY SEASON, The motoring world bas its silly season, just about this time of the year; when nobody dess much with motor-pars save to talk about them. Henca wa get controversies around suck qass- tiona as "Do Cars Ran Better at Night?" Do they ran more easily and more quickly at the same rate of speed" (sic)? Well, as matter of fast and experiance, a car does not Yan more easily by night than it does by day, It is simply an illusion, erantly similar-to-the- sensation of added swiftness, anis of propalaicu and smoothness of running that accompanies a night oycle ride. I think everyone who oyoles must have noticed these things to be apparently so, but a little rofection will show that such is not actually the osas. I have found a well-accustomel eyele ride to take eriotly the same time in the evening as in the morning, though the latter always appeared to be the saxier and quicker of the two. My first motoring experiences ware with oyole, when noticed the same phenom- enon, and so with a foll-grown car.
