WHAT THE E.M.F. CAR CAN DO.

On Wednesday. December 6th last, Mr. R. Limbrick’s 30-h.p. E.M.F. car left the Carlton Club Hotel, Hastings, at 5.20 a.m.. en route for AVairoa, with four passengers, including Mr. Eustace Lane, who had arranged to deliver a political address in Wairoa on the evening before the elections, and he was very desirous of being back in Hastings on the morning of polling day. AVell. to go on with the story, the E.M.F. arrived in YVairoa at 1.30 p.m.. and left for home again at 10 p.m.. and arrived back in Hastings at 8.15 a.m. Such good time was made through the night that the car arrived three hours too early at the XVashout, and consequently this time was lost in waiting till the horses arrived.

AVhile the memorable gale of AX ediK’sday was raging, levelling telegraph poles and de-roofing sheds, etc., the powerful E.M.F. car was ploughing hei way over mountain tracks and through rivers with as much ease as if she were travelling on good macadam, and during the whole journey not the slightest adjustment was necessary to any part ot the car. and she was driven by a mere lad of 16.
