The Wellington Automobile Club was formed in July last by Mr. C. M. Banks, the present Secretary. His Excellency the Governor, Lord Plunket, is Patron of the Club, and the other officers are • — President, His Worship the Mayor ; Vice-Presi-dents, Drs. Collins and Young, Messrs. A. de B. Brandon, C. Elgar, T. M. Wilford, M.H.R., and W. H. P. Barber, M.H.R. ; Hon. Treasurer, Mr. H. R. Dix ; Auditors, Messrs. H. Wardell and F. N. R. Meadows ; General Committee, Messrs. R. T. Turnbull, J. H. Owen, T. Inglis, J. N. Palmer and Dr. Purdy. There are now 39 members, of whom 30 own cars, and it is expected that both the membership and the number of cars will largely increase every year, as there is no doubt that present-day cars are m every respect satisfactory, and motoring has an undeniable fascination for old and young persons of both sexes.
