Automobile Notes.

AT the end Of last June there were 81 ,997
motor cars registered in Great Britain. or
1o4I3 cars more than the total number
subjected to taxes In France this year.
Although there may be some reduction in
few low-srade cars next year. the general
tendency is to advance prices for 1906 auto
mobiles. Higher prices will prevail, mainly
because better material is being used wher-
ever possible and much finer workmanship
will be incorporated.
The use of monographs on the radiators
and other parts of automobiles has be-
come quite fad during the present sea-
son, and gives promise Of enormous pro-
portions In the next few years. They are
usually made of brass or metal.
The leading automobile manufacturers of
France. England, Italy, Belgium, Austria
and Holland are reported to have secured
spaces TO show their cars at the annual au-
tomobile show of Berlin which will be held
February to Is. The commercial and iu-
dustrial motor car section promises to be
especially large and representative.
Carl G. Fisher of Indianapolis has sug-
Beach races that race of from 800 to 500
miles be added to the program. One oh ;
lection to a race of such distance is that
the tides will not give wide stretch of
beach for the time needed to finish such
an event. The 100-mile race, therefore,
will be the limit of long-distance speed
races.
Sir Thomas Dewar, the donor OF the De-
winter on the Ornond Bee ch has sent word
that he will not be able to come to Ameri-
ca this winter to witness tile second con-

Of Japan are daily growing louder.
Political parties and other organiza-

Mr.. Stanchfield contended at length
yesterday afternoon that Justice Hook

government or for the acts or influence
of George b. Weavers. He argued at
length to show that all of Justice
Hookers's actions in connection with
the Dunkirk rental and other transac-
tions had been proper and that Justice
Whites conceded derelictions in the
Wortnel case were matters for which
he himself and not Justice Hooker
should be blamed.
