OLD CROCKS' RACE.
LONDON-BRIGHTON EVENT. British Official Wireless. RUGBY, November 19. The annual race from London to Brighton of "old crocks," for motor cars more than 30 years old, attracted 99 entries, and 68 of these completed the course. The winner was a 33-year-old Napier. Its owner first purchased the car in 1902, but sold it six years later. Two years ago he rescued it from a rubbish heap in Kent. This car attained a speed of 50 miles an hour. The oldest car in the race was a Constatt Daimler, built in 1894.
