JUNIOR CAR CLUB.

A somewhat novel event replaced the usual half-day reliability trial of the Junior Car Club on November 1st, when a very good number of members assembled at the clubhouse, Brooklands, and took part in a midget-golf tournament on the course which has proved so popular since its installation a month or two ago. There were prizes for the best scores returned by a lady or gentleman, and some very good cards were returned.

After tea the party moved off to the Burford Bridge Hotel, Surrey, where a most enjoyable dinner and dance was held, concluding a very pleasant day, which was voted a complete success.
