Hertfordshire Automobile Club. — On Saturday, March 26th, this club will hold their opening run of the season, starting from St. Peter's Street, St. Albans, at 2.30 p.m., the route taken being to Hatfield, Hertford, and Stevenage.

The opposition of the club to the imposition of the 10-mile limit, sought to be enforced by the Corporation of St. Allans, is receiving considerable support from several influential tradesmen and residents who have forwarded objections to the Local Government Board and the Town Clerk. It is thoroughly appreciated in the town that if the application is granted it will lead to a great deal of money which at present finds its way into St. Albans from motorists, being spent elsewhere.
