The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1910-06-18

There is move on among the fore
most auto enthusiasts Of the city to
hold the proper obsequies over the ap-
parentlv defunct automobile club by or
aanizing a new one, which will have a
real object in life and viii be a source
of pleasure as we'll as benefit to the
auto owners Of the city.
Among the plans of the club which
it intends to carry into immediate eff
feet is an around the-island excursion,
in which it is desired to see as many
of the SIX hundred odd automobiles of
the city in line as possible. The trip
feed and general high jinks at
Haleiwa by way of celebrating the re-
iuvenation of the "Organized Auto
mobile in Honolulu.
AS soon as the plans are matured a
meeting will be held, where as many
as possible will be enrolled and ways
and means discussed. If possible, the
club will become the proud possessor
of a clubhouse of its own on the other
side.'' to encourage motorists to get
over oftener. as well as to afford a
place of pleasant recreation.
Committees viii be appointed which
will get into communication with the
California aud Coast automobile asso-
Citations and secure all possible in
formation concerning tours on the
Coast and in the other divisions of the
country. Steps will also be taken to
arrange for frequent reports from the
various districts of Oahu concerning the
state of the roads, which information
will be on tap at all times for the bene-
fit of Honolulu people. BY this means
motorists will save themselves many dis
appointments through taking the belt
trip when it looks sunny III Honolulu,
only to meet bad weather elsewhere,
or, on the other hand, refrain from
taking a trip because it is muddy IN
Honolulu, when it might be perfect i'll
ali other places.
The names of the clubs organizers
Will be announced later.
1t is always interesting to mark the
usages and customs that grow i'll and
with the automobile world, and the fol
lowing concerning royalty on the road
will prove no exceptions:
King George s motor cars do not bear
| number plates Those of the German
royal family are recognized by their
warning signals. They alone may use
the two and three-noted horn.
| The ears used by the German en-
peror and empress have their approach
heralded by three noted horns and those
of the royal princes by two noted horns.
/ No infringement of this prerogative by
| ordinary motorists is tolerated.
! The fact that the royal cars, both in
| England and in Germany, may so easily
| be distinguished is an indication of the
| confidence which exists between the
monarchs and their respective peoples
| saws the Gentewoman. In less happier
times it would have been counting dan
ger to have carried such marks of dis
! tinCtiOn and even now in less fortunate
! lands the rulers dare not travel SO
openly.
The rivalry between the different
garages of the city in keeping THEN
shops at the highest standard possible
has resulted in the city getting the
very best in repairing machinery foI
| the care of its autos.
The Associated garage has concen
trated on its tire department; Others
| have concentrated on their electrical OF
their mechanical departments. but al
have reinforced their specialties with
such complete aIl-arouud shops that
they have not contracted the weakness
