MISCELLANEOUS. ANOTHER F.I.A.T. VICTORY. <pHE twelfth Annual Targo-Florio Motor Car road race, the classic Sicilian event, over a 270 miles course, one of the most difficult testa in the world, has just been won. by a 6-cylinder “F.1.A.T.,” driven by an amateur driver, Masetti. The race comprised four laps of the Island, and it is estimated that- 6000 acute turns had to be negotiated. Yet the average time for the winning “F.1.A.T.” was 36 miles per hour, with a total driving time of 7 hours 5 minutes 5 seconds. A German “Mercedes” was second and another “F.1.A.T.” third, and out of 24 starters only 14 finished, and both “F.1.A.T.5.” were of a much smaller piston displacement than the “Mercedes.” In the 2000 c.c. class, “F.1.A.T.” standard 10-1 G h.p. cars were both first and second, with an average speed of 33 miles per hour. These races are some of the most difficult in the world, and afford a wonderful lest of a car’s general reliability and soundness. This year’s results again prove the supreme quality of “F.1.A.T.” ears, than which none better is made in any country. Buv for permanence, and buy a “F.I.A/T.” There arc three sizes made, and immediate delivery can be given. WILSON’S MOTOR SUPPLIES, LTD., ELTHAM AND WANGANUI. Hawera Agent: Mr. F. V.
