MOTORS AND ROLLER. SKATES.
United Press Association.—By Electri* Telegraph.—Copyright.)
LONDON, October 6.
While it is customary to hear attacks on girls and on cocktail parties, there have been two signal instances of their stamina during the week-end, when fifty women motorists dr'oye over .a hilly test route throughout the night in the London-to-Exeter trial. Fifty checked in at the conclusion. A men’s trial over the same distance has not yet been recorded. Furthermore, happy girls were to be seen driving the cars on their return to-day, smoking cigarettes, with men passengers asleep. 'file second feat was that of longdistance roller skating, from London to Brighton, a distance of fifty-two miles. Out of twelve men and foqr girls who set out from Westminster Bridge, six men gave up, but only one girl. A fierce gale and rain storms swept the road for the whole distance, v,i, o if£ times was ankle deep with water,
*sot one spill,” proudly announced the winning girl on her arrival at Brighton.
