RELIABILITY TRIAL

MOTOR RACING DRIVERS RUN TO ROTORUA NEXT WEEK Much enthusiasm has been aroused among Auckland motorists about the reliability trial to Rotorua next weekend, conducted by the New Zealand Motor Racing Drivers' Association. Entries closed this week with a total of 54 cars. The competitors will leave from the Auckland Railway Station about six o'clock next Saturday morning, and arrive at Rotorua that night in time for tea. Although the trial is completed-when the cars reach Rotorua, an enjoyable evening and sports gathering on the Sunday have been arranged. Although actual details of the tests on the journey are not available it is certain that the winners of the £SO prize-money will have nbly demonstrated their ability as efficient motorists. An ample stop will be made in the middle of the day for lunch. Many of the drivers have made arrangements through the association for accommodation at Rotorua, but a few who have not would be well advised to see to this detail as soon as possible.
