by tbe Automobile Club of Victoria, the programme comprising a voitui’btte race, a heavy car race and a motor cycle race. Given fine weather some very interesting races were anticipated. Tbe same club intends holding a 4.00 miles Easter tour through the Western District, the route being through Geelong to Western District, thence via Hamilton to Ballarat, and back to Melbourne. The roads over this course comprise tbe finest in Victoria. To neglect a chain after, or during, a wet ride is to invite trouble. Wh en the chain is exposed, the rain will always get to it in a short time, and the chain protests in loud and unmeasured tones. When this begins, don’t go on driving through the mud in misery, but dismount and wipe the chain as dry as possible. Garry a rag for this purpose ; then drenoh it with oil, and you will find that after another mile or so it will have quieted down, whilst the next day will probably find it none the worse.
