To-morrow's championship meeting to be held by the Pioneer Sports Club on the New Brighton Trotting Ground promises to be the best held here for many years. There are seven events to be contested, the chief of which will of course bo the New Zealand Open Championship, over a distance of 12 miles, in which that groat rider Percy Coleman, who has in the past won championships by the score, and is the holder of the world s one mile grass track record, will undoubtedly be the central figure. On this occasion he will be riding a 3A Royal Enfield. His most dangerous opponent is likely to be Harry Mangliam ("-9 Harlcy Davidson), who this season won the Middleweight Championship. Both arc jDOssesscd of that daredevilry essential to the success of a rider, Coleman lias the greater experience on the track, whilst .Maugham will have the advantage of greater horse power. Another rider who should figure in the picture is Reg Ranby, who will be riding a 3A Douglas. Ranby, it will be remembered, rode brilliantly at the last grass track meeting held here, winning the South Island Middleweight Championship, and tho two chief handicaps of the day. . Next in order of fancy is likely to be A. Lemon, of Auckland, on a A.J.S., who is also a title holder. W. Viggers, of Wellington, 3i O.K. Supreme, is another from whom great things are expected, whilst R. Oliver, also from Wellington, will be on a \ Ilarley Davidson, and is expected to run prominently. Of the Nelson quartet. \Y. lliggs (2J Velocette) is the most fancied. Allan Crighton (ISA J.A.P.), who will represent Dunedin, has a

good record as a successful cinder rider, and of the local entrants R. Carpenter, W. Thomas, T. McCleary, and C. Blacklock are the most likely to cause a surprise if one is to be effected. Thore are 18 entrants. At the conclusion of the race the winner will be decorated with the Blue lliband by Mrs Angus Donaldson, wife of the president of the club.

A\i;ition engineers have found that tliey may be able to fill the radiator of an aeroplane engine and seal the top. never to be laced again with enginecooling troubles. This, in effect, has been clone by research* engineers experi- ! meriting with a liquid-cooled engine! which has no radiator, in the ordinary j tcii'e or the term. The agent used .'S I cthlene glycol. which boils at 385 degrees Fahrenheit, instead of 212 degrees as water does. Having a higher specihe heat, it conducts heat away r!! cylinders faster than water, it flows around the cylinders, but instead or passing through coils and tins it. circulates within itself, the hot fluid rising and the cool falling, giving off through the engine casing and external fins the heat absorbed hom the walls. .With the new medium it will be possible for engineers to" buna a motor-car engine with a radiator. only half as large as one that is water-cooled. . ._ s f l , , "' n S advertisement in the classified section of TnE Piiess will sell your goods.
