The Auckland Automobile Association.

Being formed m May, 1902, the Auckland Automobile Association is probably the first body of its kind established m the Southern Hemisphere. A goodly number of motorists are enrolled, who, besides owners or part owners of cars, include importers, and any person interested m the sport. Motor cyclists are also eligible for election. A subscription of £1 is. per annum is charged, country members paying only half this amount. Every member, however, must at once appear for examination on being notified by the Secretary. The examination comprises the theory and practice of motor driving (steam, electric or petroleum). The following are the office-bearers .—. — Patron, His Excellency the Governor, Lord Plunket ; VicePatron, Sir John Logan Campbell ; President, W. B. Leyland, Esq. ; Vice- Presidents, Drs. Knight and Purchas, and A. Meyers, Esq. (Mayor of Auckland) ; Committee, Drs. Purchas and Knight, Messrs. Chattens, A. Skeates, Petford and Stuart Milne ; Hon. Treasurer, J. A. Moody, Esq. ; Hon. Secre-

tary, A. Cleave, Esq. A meeting of the members is held at the Club Rooms, 52 Queen street, Auckland, on the second Tuesday in every month at 8 p.m., and the monthly run is held on the following Saturday afternoon.
