The “Sport and ‘Varsity” Trial, run under the auspices of the Ulster Automobile Club, was held on Saturday, February 2nd. There was an entry of 36 cars, and the weather conditions turned out to be ideal. The first check was at the Kennels of the Co. Down Staghounds, and from there the trial led to Crossgar, Killinchy Cross Roads, and Ballywalter, finishing in Donaghadee. At the various checks competitors had to perform sundry musical, poetical and

artistic feats, foruhich proficiency marks were awarded. The judging was done by the competitors themselves. The average speed throughout the trial was 20 m.p.h. The winner proved to be F. M.
