MOTOR-CAR RACING
AUSTRALIANS BOUND FOR MURIWAI
Dominion Special Service.
Auckland, February 26.
An endeavour to take back to Australia with them the principal honours to be decided at the big motor-car racing fixture at Muriwai next month will be made by three noted performers on the track who arrived from Sydney by the Maunganui yesterday. They are Messrs. Taylor, A. E. C. East, and Hosklng. They have brought with them one four-cylinder and one eightcylinder Bugattf car. Driving the Bugatti eight, which is the property of Mr. Taylor, Mr. East won the New Zealand Light Car Cup last year with an average speed of 75 miles an hour. He will defend the title next month. The cup, which is a handsome silver trophy, was brought to Auckland by Mr. Taylor. In addition to taking part in the principal events at Muriwai, the visitors will attempt to break the record of 109 miles an hour for Australia and New Zealand. Mr. Taylor stated that the cars were in perfect shape, and he anticipated that they would do well at the races.
