TWO ANCIENT AUTOMOBILES

Last week marked the birth
day" of the two oldest motor cars
in, existence. The Oldest is French
car which was purchased by the
mayor Of Troye, in the Champagne
district Of France on December 4,
1891, so it was twenty-five years
old last Thursday. The second old
est automobile in active service is
alsn French car, which was COM
pleted on November 80, 1898, and
so was twenty years old last Sun.
day.
The present owner worlds most
ancient motor car is the Able Ca
vols, of Renneville IN the Somme
district Of France. He bought the
crude contrivance from the mayor
of Troyes. its original owner, in
1894. The cure loaned his machine
to the British Motor association for
its exhibition, where it attracted
more attention than any of the
newest models. The prelate was
given a modern car to use while
the old one was On display, but he
asserted that he much preferred
the ancient vintage automobile.
According to the cure. the oldest
car has required but one overhaul
ing since it came into his possess
ion, and had never been in the
hands of the repair man at the
time he bought il. He asserts that
the car has been on the road every
day until it was sent to the English
exhibition.
The relic of past age Of automo-
bile building has a speed OF twelve
miles an hour, which is quite suf-
ficient for the needs of a country
clergyman. It's tires are of steel, and
while this has its disadvantages, the
cure hiss never had to spend a cent
in upkeep. The motor is two,
cylinder affair, and consumes com.
paratively little gasoline.
An English automobile journal
says of this patriarch among cars
"a layer of grease was applied
to the gears; occasionally they
were washed out with kerosene
but for twenty.one years they have
been turning In a bath Of grease
and dust. When they were dis
mantled for the overhauling Of the
car recently they were found still
to have several years of useful life.
A short jack shaft is driven by
means Of a pair of bevel gears, and
the final drive is taken to the Iear
axle by means of single exposed
chain. Tiller steering is fitted, and
all four wheels are wood with steel
tires"
So far as longevity and cost of
upkeep are concerned. many own
ers of modern high priced cars will
envy the Able of Reneville. .-Ex-
change.
The attention OF the county COM
missioners is called to the old car
owned by Able Gavois. They might
buy it and save the big wad of
money they are now paying for re-
pairs on the road supervisors ma
chine.
