Local Association to Discuss Project.

It will be remembered that wa referred a few weeks ago to the idea of local reliability trials for motor-cars and motorcycles, and auggested that the Hongkong Automobile Association might foster interest in the project sm- ong its members. Subsequently, in an interview with the hon. secretary of the Association, Mr. P. H. Hodgson, a representative of the Telegraph learned that the matter was one which the com- mittee had in mind, and that it would be discussed by them at an early meeting.

We learn that there was a com- mittee meeting of the Automobila Association last week, but no decision was come to on the ques- tion of reliability trials, the mat- ter being left over for considera- tion at the forthcoming annual general meeting.
