OCTOGENARIAN MOTORIST.
(rSOM OUB, OWH COMBSrOHMirT.) SYDNEY, February 3. Youth will have ite fling. Mr Jonas Aloock, who ia a familiar figure in the country district of New South Wales, in which he lives, obtained a license to drive a motor-car when he was over SO years of age. Now, at the age of « years, he has become a member of tho National Roads and Motorists* Association. By way of a little diversion, Mr Alcock occasionally takes on the seven miles of heavy and difficult climbing up the well-known Brown Mountain, in the Cooma district. As enthusiastic as any man who has ever put his hands to a steering wheel, Mr Alcock's chief regret is that he will not be able to see what the motor-cars look like half a century ahead.
