A DOCTOR'S TRIUMPH and £SO WAGER on a MORRIS MINOR CAR Cootamundra is still talking about the result of a speed lest made between that town and Sydney last Sunday, when Dr A. E. A’lum, popular local medico, and Mr Lea. Deal, agent for Morris cars, covered the distance in 6 hours 28 minutes in a Morris Minor, thus winning a wager of £SO and cover* mg themselves with dust. Lord Craigavon , Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, is at -present visiting New Zealand. Talcing advantage of this visit, the D. 1.0, has secured a. sample range for special displays of Pure Irish Linen of exceptional beauty, and fineness, and this week are mailing a special feature of these high-elass Damasks. The range is of samples only—that is, there is one set of each variety, in a specified she. But it is also so- extensive that no customer 'will be disappointed. Inspection Cordially Invited D.I.C. .Recently Mr Deal came to Sydney on business. in. the Morris Minor, and °n his return announced that he had completed the outward journey in 6 hours 45- minutes. His statement was received with some scepticism in the billiard rooms of Coota. No little car could do the ' trip in that time, he was assured, and, anyway, he wps boosting his own car, wasn't he? Scepticism gave place to. ridicule, and at length he decided to have a show-down. Ho told his critics that he was prepared to do the journey again in the same time if anyone would put up £SO to say he couldn’t. Nobody accepted the offer at the time, hut a fortnight later the subject was resurrected by outsiders, with the result that the wager was made in a sporting spirit between Mr E. Batros and Mr Deal. Dr Allum agreed to drive his own 8 h.p. Morris Minor on the test, accompanied by Mr Deal. Neither had done any racing before. They left Coota. at 7 a.m. on Sunday, and were officially checked in at Sydney at 1.58 pm. .Half an hour's stop at Goulhum for breakfast, which was allowed for in the wager arrangements, was made, so that the actual running time was 6 hours 28 minutes —ah average of 42% . nup.h,. Petrol mileage was 43 tn.p.g.' ' At times the little bus reached 63 miles an hour. N As an indication of the interest- taken in the evmt in Cootamundra, the two men were inundated on Monday with telegrams of congratulation.
