A record of some of the nicknames of the colonial sections may be of interest : Pomona, Yewdiss Mount, Fawkergive Way, Julius Cmsar’s Cemetery, Doantby Rash, Shallweed Alley, Scottsbrum Pasture, Mutere Down, Crankease Crag; these pleasant titles give one a very good idea of what the hardy riders had to put up with for 80 miles; only about 15 miles of good road were included.

M.C.C.

The M.C.C. have decided to recognise the sporting spirit which prevailed in their recent run to Lugano by giving first-class awards to all cars and motor-cycles which reached the finish under their own engine power. Many stopped to assist their fellow competitors who were stranded by the wayside, thus prejudicing their own chances of success; they now have the satisfaction of reaping their reward.

BRIOHTON & HOVE MOTOR CLUB’S SPEED TRIAL.

Entries to the extent of over one hundred were received by this club for their inter-club trials on October the 3rd. Sunshine and a big attendance combined with excellent racing to form an enjoyable spectacle.

The star performers were : Rolfe (Amilcar), Constable (Morgan), Jones (Bugatti), and E. Hillary (Frazer Nash); the latter won two events.

The most interesting feature of the day was the Joyce-Frazer Nash duel. Frazer Nash eventually vanquished the A.C. by 1-5th of a second.

THE INTER-VARSITY TRIAL. •

This year the Oxford University M.C. and the Cambridge University M.C.C. are combining to run their Inter-Varsity Reliability on November 7th on a bigger scale than last year, when the poor support it received was hardly merited. The trial will start from the Railway Hotel, Harpenden, about 10 o’clock, and after an eighty mile course will finish at the same point. The piece de resistance is the “Tunnel Slide” and here one should take up one’s position early, as if it rains

some fun will be seen. The premier award is a very fine challenge cup pre

sented by Motor rye! ing.
