The retent 1,000 miles reliability trials for motor cycle,. Pas conclusively demonstrated that the main sane. of trouble in these wonderful little locon•otives are rapidly being eliminated. TEle tains were exceedingly severe, the weather adding an efficient contribution. The engines themselves proved very reliable, but neither tyres nor freewheel clutches seem to be strong enough as yet for the work impreed upon them. Belts also gale much trouble. One ensile was damaged by the poles. i fain of the sparking ping breaking and dropping into the cylinder. This should be a warnI tug to use DIM plugb in future.

However. all difficoltes hare now been I removed, and the Ratlaity companies' Almeria- : tion has (uneasily reeolved on the immediate intivoduction of the new rates; and conditions. It is just as well for cyclist, to note that the near conditions embody a "limited risk" rate, I ;that is to any, under the new tariff the railway eampany is only liable for daulavy, to the machine in transit if over ton shillings. In order to cover small damage under ten shit' tinge in value it is necessary for the cyclist to take a peens inen-rance ticket. irrespective of the length of the journey.
