AUTOMOBILE NOTES.

+. AUTOMOBILE NOTES. I
A favorite demonstrating locality Tor
many of the Broadway dealers Is the
sharp grade from Riverside Drive to
Broadway on Sev%enty-ninth street. 1t
frequently happens that Sergeant
Casey, of the bicycle squad, in citizens
clothes, tests his motorcycle on the
same hill. 1t so fell out one day this
week, when the EMF demonstration
was showing Drs. Areson and Wrensch,
of Montclair, just 0 fast his a
could go on The second speed. The
performance was so meritorious that
Casey escorted the party to the Sixty
eighth street police station and entered
a charge Of speeding at a rate of thirty
two miles an hour. Mr.. Koehler says
that he has now instructed his sales
men to only say how fast the car will
go and that the showing must be done
some other place than New York. The
interrupted demonstration was finished
in Jersey the next day, however, n
the hill-climbing ability of the EMF
was c~onclusively proven on a trip over
the Orange mountains.
Thomas Goldingay, of Newark, left
last week in his White touring car for
a two weeks trip through Pennsylva-
MIA, starting off by way of Strouds-
burg and Scranton. At the latter place
he expects>to spend a few days before
starting on the return journey.
The Hickey Machine Company, of
East Orange, plan to have an elaborate
display at the Auto Show next week.
The Marmon car is deservedly popular
among discriminating buyers and the
exhibit at the armory is sure to attract
much favorable attention.
William N. Boiler, of So Prospect
street, East Orange, has just returned
from a six months visit to Syracuse,
N. Y. While away Mr.. Boiler used his
Ford roadster constantly on the roads
through the Mohawk Valley region,
and on several occasions took the run
from Albany to Buffalo, the Ford prov
ing very efficient over the snow-cov-
cred roads that prevailed during the
winter.
Crosswalks possess no terrors for the
man who glides along on Truffault-
Hartfords, but to the man that enjoys
them not crosswalks loom up like
mountains.
The New Jersey Automobile and Mo-
tor Club have extended a cordial invita-
ton to the members OF the Union Club,
Of Newark, to use their clubhouse, in
Park place, during the time that the
Union Club is moving its headquarters
to their new building, on Bank street.
This action will tend to cement more
closely the already cordial relations that
exist between the two clubs.
Robert Beattie, jr., and George Post,
of the North Jersey Club, have been re-
elected delegates to the Associated Au-
tomobile Clubs of New Jersey.
An automobile engine would last much
longer than 1t does, would not lose in
efficiency as rapidly as 1t does. If it
were not subjected to racking and strain
due to jolt and vibration occasioned by
travel over rough roads. BY eliminat-
ing jolt and vibration, the Truffault-
Hartford does much oppressive an en-
gine's efficiency, because where it is
used there is no rocking or pitching
over rough road or cobble-stones.
The Ellis Motor Car Company, of 1874
126 Washington street, received their
first shipment Of the new "a Pierce
Arrow cars on Thursday. The new
model, fitted with miniature t%onneau,
makes a very attractive appearance.
The Ellis Company also received the
first of the 36-horsepower six-cylinder
%runabouts this week.
The Paddock-Zusi Motor Car Com
pany, of 215 Clinton avenue, report the
sale Of two Chalmers-D Detroit cars this
week. One went to a Glen Ridge pur-
chaser and the other was taken by a
prominent resident of East Orange.
