The trial waa a difficult one, including. In Its .course over 30 miles of very hilly country. This car is the latest runabout of the curved Kournier. A year ago the Wlnton Motor Car rlage company sold two Wlnton cars to the United States government for army work. Tha vehicles were turned over to the signal service and were first used at tha regular maneuvers at Get tysburg and at Camp Atascader, since which time they lave been In almost constant llise. . The. good work of the Wlnlons was so strong a recommends' tlon for automobiles In army service that the government decided soma time go ta pUrcni solicited from various manufacturers. but the order was pieced with the-Wln ton. This new car will be delivered to the department In Washlngton wlthln a week crTO days. IA T-emarkable feature of the "spring business Is the demand' for" the very best of the American cars,, regardless of price. Thia demand Is being made largely by the class who formerly were patrons of foreign cars. An Illustration of this Is found in the fact that al though It now the middle of May the Electrlo Vehicle company haa been uu able to keep up with the demand for the 36-40 boras Columbia which sells at J4.000, $5,000 and ti.600gccordlng to the design of body. x-r- i i "Hollander a Tangeman report that they have Just added to their list of for eign drivers the well " known French driver Louis Chevalet His first per formance In' this country wlllba to drive their 90 horsepower Fiat at the Worcester, .

It Is likely . that the Peugeot car to be used will be a 24-80 horsepower and the Coco a S0-JI5 horse power machine. The match will prob ably b the best two: out. ofjhree five mile' heats; , . - f l Sen llolladay yesterday sold the last of tha Wlnton cars that- were shipped to him, which la evidence of the favor In which these handsome silver-finished cars have been received.
