La Motosacoche.
We understand that this machine is growing in favour, as indeed it deserves, on account of its good qualities, which are lightness (it weighs only TOlbs-, speed (thirty miles an hour at a cost of one and threepence), climbing power (up to 1 in 8 without assistance), and great simplicity. It is, besides, free from jerkiness, running smoothly always, and can be handled with ease by persons of medium physique. The cost of one we know of has been worked out for running upkeep and depreciation (10 per cent.) to 2s 5%d. for 100 miles. One Wellington firm estimates that its traveller gets through a week's work in two days with one machine, and another has six of them in use.
