MOTORS AND MOTOR-DRIVING

owing to the assassination of President McKinley. In racing matters the Club has formulated a set of racing rules under which licences for race meetings have been granted to some ten or twelve clubs throughout the country. The Club has also assisted in the formation of nearly all of the thirty odd clubs which now exist in the United States, and has established reciprocal relations with the leading automobile clubs of Europe. Fortnightly Club runs are held during the spring and autumn, and in winter fortnightly suppers and lectures are given at the headquarters. A library has been established at the latter, containing all the automobile literature and periodicals of the world. The privileges of the Club are open to members of the Automobile Club of Great Britain and Ireland for a period of ten days, on production of an official card of introduction.
