Tho Tourist Trophy Race on June 11 in.-the Isle of Man was a strenuous test ovtfr 600 miles of mountainous country. '•Twenty-three of tho world's leading c;i.rs started, and only six completed the course.- Several of the leading makers entered teams of three cars, but only ono team of three Mihervas was left in tlie race after 150 miles, and they finished up second, third, and fifth. This result indicates the need of long-dis-. tanc'e road contests to improve tho reliability of the present-day car. The Royal Automobile Olub of "England promoted the Tourist -Trophy Race, after a lapse of six years. The contest demonstrated the reliability of the Knight Sleeve Valve Engine for continuous strenuous work.
