threatens to overcome everything else. It
certainly is the hot weather vehicle, for It
produces its own breeze as it skins swiftly
over the smooth roads. and the canopies
protect from the glare Of the sun. From
every direction the motor cars come whiri-

the garage men are pushed to their limit in
caring for the multitude Of cars. Some
thing of this had been anticipated. and the
garage accommodations at Lenox ana Fits
f1eld had been greatly enlarged AZ STOCK
bridge. however, the accommodations have
proved all inadequate, and now there is
hasty addition to the established garage
and q large new one has been erected ana

meets and races of the Berkshire Hunt will
