CYCLECAR AND MOTOR CYCLE | NOTES. [BY CELERITER.J TOURING ABROAD. THE INTERNATIONAL LIGHT CAR RACE. As there seems to be a growing tendency among motorists to spend part it not all of their holidays abroad in order to obtain a change of scenery, though how any can truthfully say they have seen even the greater part of the magnificent and varied scenery to be found in our own Isles, I will deal this week with touring abroad. As there is this tendency it may perhaps be useful to consider some of the formalities to be undergone before leaving for foreign land and on arrival there. Prior to 1910 the formalitida that had to be gone through on landing in a foreign country were very trying to the traveller by motor, but thanks to the good offices of the various automobile bodies, conditions have changed and it is now a much simpler matter I to pass the customs and obtain driving licences. On going abroad one has tirst to consider the two main items, the import duty on the machine he is taking with him, be it car or motor cycle, and the regulations as regards licences and taxes. Thanks to the International Touring Regulations which came into force in 1910, many of the formalities can be got over before one even leaves these shores. One may obtain triptiques and driving licences from the A.A. and M.U. or from the R.A.C. on application to either on payment of the necessary fees, even though not a member of either body. The procedure is as follows The would- be tourist writes to either of the above bodies stating his intention of touring abroad and mentioning to what countries and on what machine. He will then receive forms which must be filled in, giving information as to himself and his car or motor cycle for customs and license purposes. A form will also be forwarded giving particulars of the fares on the boat and on rail, if required a form is also attached so that the tourist may order the necessary tickets through the club or association. Tickets and customs papers (triptiques) will then be issued to the tourist, who in the meantime has to pass a purely formal driving examination in the hands of a local examiner, and having passed this examination and his machine being certified as fit for touring abroad. As regards brakes, silencer, etc., an Inter- national driving pass, available for 12 months, will be issued to him for which- ever countries required, provided they are < couutries which are included in the Inter- national Agreement. A plate bearing the letters G.B. is also supplied, and this is to be attached above the rear numbers of the machine. Having obtained the pass and the triptique there are no further formalities to be gone through. Of course it is understood that the passes and triptique are not obtained free. The International travelling pass and G.B. plate costs 7s for the two, the examination of car and driver cost 7s each; half fees are charged in the case of motor cycles. As regards the customs a deposit has to be made with the Club to cover the amount due. This is much more satisfactory than leaving the money with the frontier officials < abroad. The customs duties for the follow- ing countries are as follows Belgium, France, Holland and Switzerland, motor cycles free, though a special customs card must be obtained from the club, or A.A. machines having sidecars attached can also be taken into the above countries without payment of duty if only for a short period. Tricars are included under the heading of motor cycles. In other countries the cus- toms' duties are as follows :—Austria, motor vehicles weighing not more than 36 cwt. £ 3 Is per cwt; Belgium, cars based on present value, 12 per cent. ad valorem France, cars £1 per cwt; Germany, motor cycles weighing 1 cwt. or less, £ 2 10s per cwt., weighing 1 cwt and not more than 2 ewt., £117s Gd per cwt. Cars under a ton £1 per cwt., over a ton 12s 6d per cwt.; Switzerland, care 16s per cwt. The customs deposits are refunded in full on returding to England, providing the customs papers duly signed by the customs' authorities are returned to the club. A couple of small photos (head and shoulders) of each driver are required by the club, one for retention, and the other to be pasted on the International pass. The International pass holds good for 12 months, but can be renewed free of charge if application is made before the expiration of the twelve months, providing the same car or cycle is being used. Application for forms and all particulars should be made in the first place, either to the nearest branch of the A.A. and M.U., or to the bead office, Fanum House, Whitcomb- street, London, W., or to the Royal Automo- bile Club, Pall Mall, S.W., who will give ,the name of the nearest local examiner. France is probably the most popular ground for British motor tourists abroad. There are three ways of crossing the channel into France-via Folkestone and Boulogne, a boat crossing each way morning and after- noon and taking cars via Southampton and Navre, a boat crossing each way each night, and via Newhaven and Dieppe. The Folkestone route is probably the most popular as there are better facilities for handling cars and cycles there than at the other ports, though the Newhaven route is improving in this respect. To Holland, one may go via Hull or Harwich. Holland offers many picturesque scenes, though the roads are for the most part second class, generally narrow and continually passing through hamlets, there- fore high speed is impossible, though in France, the reverse holds as there are no speed limits except through the towns. In mapping out a tour, if one has not been abroad before, and unless some definite objective has already been decided upon, one cannot do better than apply to the A.A. or the R.A.C. for help in the matter, either of those bodies will supply selected itinaries providing one gives some information as to the part of the country one wishes to see. THE INTERNATIONAL LIGHT CAR TOURIST TROPHY RACE. The light car race which is to be held in the Isle of Man on September 24th is already creating a great deal of interest. The race will be the first to be held on the open road in which light cars only have competed. There have been races at Brooklandti for light cars and cyclecars, but a road race always appeals to one as being more interest- ing and more instructive than a track race. The conditions under which the race will be run are now to hand and it is very interesting to note that in view of the controversy at present raging in the motor press as to the correct, defining line between a cyclecar and a light car, the International Federation and the Auto Cycle Union, under whose rules the race will be run, have done away with the weight limit so far as a maximum weight is concerned, though a minimum chassis weight of 385 lbs is imposed. Engine capacity will be limited to 1,100 cc. which is the present limit for cyclecars, but as there will be no maximum weight restrictions many light cars will be allowed to compete which underthe existing definition (which imposes a maximum chassis weight of 6 cwt) would not have been eligible. No doubt in forming the rules, the A.C.D. had in mind the fact that manufacturers would naturally not overburden their 1,100 cc. engines with too much weight, and on the other hand they would not lighten their frames to such an extent as to endanger a breakage, though those conditions allow all the legitimate light cars to compete; there is not much encouragement for the genuine cyclecar with an engine any less than 1,100 cc. and there are many cyclecars with smaller engines than this and with chassis weighing less than 385 lbs. which are perfectly sound and good for every day use. To compete in the race, however, they will have to weight up their chassis and this will probably spoil their chances when competing against the machines with larger engines. The only alternative to this will be to fit larger engines, up to the limit of capacity, then if this is done the machines will not be standard and it will be difficult to the public to discriminate which is the best performance put up by the machines competing. As this is the first race of its kind one must not ask for too much, and possibly the promoters will learn much from this event and next year either modify or alter the conditions or hold a separate race for genuine cyclecars, only placing a price limit as well as an engine cubic capacity limit and making no restrictions whatever as regards weight. The race next September will be run over a triangular course starting from St Johns, through Ballacraino with its dreaded corner, Kirk Michael, and Boel back to the start, a circuit of 15 miles odd which will have to be covered ten times-what monotony for the drivers. The A.C.U. appear to be anticipating a big entry as not more than three cars of one make will be accepted from the manufacturer. CHAIN VERSUS BELT DRIVE. A correspondent writes asking why I did not mention shaft drive in my last week's article. If he looks through it again he will find that I did so, and am of the same opinion as my correspondent, that shaft drive will ultimately become very popular if not universal. My correspondent says that shaft drive has proved very satisfactory on his machine.

USE or Hop SUBSTITUTES.—In the House of Commons on Wednesday week, Mr Courthope asked leave to introduce a Bill to prohibit the use of hop substitutes in brewing. He ex- plained that matters which had proved con- tentious in previous measures had been entirely eliminated in the present Bill. Although he would like to see legislation compelling the marking of imported hops, he had dropped that provision. Also he had changed the wording of what might be called the prohibition clause, which in the past had been held to interfere with legitimate operations of the brewing in- dustry. As the clause now stood he thought that, while it would entirely prevent the use of any substitutes in brewing, it would not prevent the legitimate and necessary use of chemical substances for cleansing and disinfecting pur- poses. He gave figures to show that the use of substitutes was a growing practice, but declared that they were not used in any case by the better-class brewers, and the great bulk of the industry were quite prepared to see their use prohibited. The demand for this Bill was further supported by hop-growers and the trade. The Bill was brought in and read a firet time.

I FOOTBALL NOTES. I [By THE TYKE."] ) There was a fairly good programme of matches in the Worcester League on Satur- day,when Hereford City further strengthened their position by visiting Evesham and beating the Wanderers by a goal to nil. Ledbury Town were at home to Evesham United and were defeated by 4-1, their heaviest home defeat this season. Ledbury were practically at full strength, as Partridge returned to the team, but Hoult was too unwell to turn out. Mr E Rowlands was referee and Ledbury were represented by Vicarage Smith, Partridge W Powell, R Powell, Griffiths; Watts, Goodwin, H Taylor, J Taylor, C Taylor. Evesham United were strongly represented, but were without Roberts, who is now playing for Stourbridge in the Birmingham League. Partridge won the toss, and elected to play down-hill. Cotton, the Evesham goalkeeper, was first in action and kicked away a shot by J Taylor. Then Evesham broke away, and Vicarage saved smartly by placing a hot shot over the bar. Evesham were the first to score, as from a corner Vicarage mis- judged the ball, and Heritage, who was un- marked, simply nodded the ball into the I net. Following this there was some spirited play by the home forwards and halves, but the Evesham goal bore a charmed existence. Goodwin worked clean through and it seemed impossible for him not to score, but his shot cannoned off the goal-keeper. Another time Goodwin hit the post with a hot drive, and really it seemed as if Ledbury were not to score. Then, as usually happens, the United broke away, and Cole drove in a screw shot which Vicarage had no chance with. Before the interval the visitors scored again from enother breakaway, Tallis getting in a ground shot which Vicarage went down to, but as he pushed the ball away it glanced off the post into the the net to his evident surprise. At half-time the United were leading by 3-0. Soon after the resumption of the second half, the United left half drove in a long shot which bounced awkwardly for Vicarage, 4ut he got his hands to it only for Layton to dash up and hook into the net. Cotton was prominent for a clever save soon after, but he was at last beaten after a pretty movement, in which the ball went via Griffiths, J Taylor to C Taylor, who crossed to Watts, and the outside right touched the ball inside to Goodwin, whose shot hit the inside of the far post and went into the net. Later Good win and Watts made a run on the right but Goodwin allowed the ball to go out. There was no more scoring, and the final whistle went with the score 4-1 in Evesham United's favour. Candidly, the Ledbury forwards gave their worst exhibition this season, and that after starting fairly well. Generally, how- ever, the team did not seem to be so cohesive as usual, and after they had failed to score after that 15 minutes sustained attack in the first half nothing seemed to go right for them. Vicarage was not in his best form, or the United would not have scored four times. Changes will have to to be made in the team, and some means devised whereby another centre-forward can be tried. This position was terribly weak on Saturday, and a Bennett or a Hoult would have made a world of difference. The respective right backs were the outstanding figures on the field. Evesham were the better balanced side, their halves especially being a fine trio. # On Saturday last, on the Edgar-street ground, the Ledbury Brotherhood met the R.A.M.C. in the final of the Hereford Junior Cup. The cup has never been taken away from Hereford but once, when Colwall. with the help of half-a-dozen Ledbury players, managed to secure it. The Brotherhood were hoping to bring it to Ledbury and were extremely unfortunate in not doing so. Both teams had their strongest side out, and the Brotherhood were represented by:—F Shinn E Harris, S Elleetmore J Smith, G Hankins, E Chadd; William, W Smith, Wilf Smith, J Walker and R Evans. Before a record gate, the R.A.M.C. kicked off towards the Cattle Market end. The Brotherhood soon showed themselves superior and pressed nearly the whole of the first half. Wilf Smith drove in a splendid shot which bit through the netting. The referee gave a goal and placed the ball In the centre. One of the linesmen, Dan O'Neil, protested, and after a consultation of about ten minutes they agreed that the ball went through the outside part of the net, and the goal was disallowed. After a few minutes Jim Smith scored from 30 yards' range. In the closing few minutes' play before half-time, R.A.M.C. broke away and scored, thus the interval came with the scores 1—1. 0 On the resumption the play assumed an end-to-eod character. This seemed to suit the li.,A..M C. for they soon scored. The scores were again equalised by Wilf Smith. The R.A.M.C.'s third goal came with terriffic force into the net and Harris tried to head away but the ball glanced off his head into the net. They soon after scored their fourth goal, bringing the game to a close with the R.A.M.C. winning by 4- 2.
