The total registration Of new ma
chimes is ls9, and the largest number
to be registered from any one county
is 80 from Rutland county The small
est number registered is one each in Es.
sex and Grand Isle counties. There are
80 new machines in Windsor county, p
in Windham, 2l IN Caledonia county, 10
in Chittenden county, IL in Washington
county, 10 each in Bennington. Franklin
and Orleans counties, in Addison, 0
in Orange, and in Lamoille.
The registration books kepts by secre-
tary Bailey show that the average horse
power Of the 938 automobiles thus far
registered is ls.s. The one Of highest
power is rated at 72 horse power and
Is owned and operated By woman, Mrs.
Ada r. Dawley Of Brattleboro. Other
high power machines not new this year,
vary from as to 54 horse power and are
owned BY f l. Dickinson OF Brattleboro,
ex-Gov. G. Mccullough Of Bennington,
Thomas M. Vail Of Byndonville, ex-Gov.
T. e. Smith Of ST. Albans, J. E. Buxton
of Aiiddletown Springs, +. r. Dunham
Of Brattleboro and james Hartness Of
Springfield
The basis upon which Secretary Bal.
ley has reckoned horse power for pur-
poses Of registration and incidental tax
alton has been the tables adopted BY the
Associated License Automobile Manufae-
turers Of America, these tables practi-
cally being the same as those used by
a like association in Great Britain and
such insurance companies as accept au-
tomobile liability.
As the registration this year has been
after a new plan, new system Of ree-
ord has had to Be inaugurated. So
thorough and complete is the system
that Secretary Bailey is using, that the
owner, the chauffeur and complete de
seription Of the car can be had at a mo-
ment's notice concerning any car that
has been registered For instance, If on
account OF reckless driving or any other
violation of law by an automobile driver,
concerning any particular
car Is desired, 1t may be had from the
secretary of states office in no more
time than IL necessary to call that Office
by telephone and receive an answer.
Further than this, the system used in
recording receipts for license fees in con-
neetion with automobile registration is
such that constant check upon items is
almost automatic.
The number Of dealers licenses IL.
sued to date is 81. The number Of motor
cycle licenses is 80. The number Of
licenses is 1,034.

three-quarters seconds, Hanson finally
getting the better with q body scissors
and half Nelson. Here Hanson also
showed his superior headwork by not
himself, but letting Sailor
