 An automobile club has been formed in the City of Mexico. with member ship of 900 enthusiasts of different na- tionalities. who are determined to bring about a system of good roads.
 The monthly automobile tax in the City of Mexico is eight dollars each, and the club above mentioned has in- duced the government to use the entire receipts from this source in the i'm provement of roads and Grivcways in and about the capital eIty. President Diaz is the possessor of Pope-Toiedo !andaulette. which is often seen about tho capital. and Thomas Moran. an American banker. makes constant use of his car of the same type.
