MODERN MOTOR-CARS.

[TO TUB EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—While thanking you for the appreciative review of " Motor Vehicles and Motors " in the Spectator of Novem- ber 3rd, will you allow me, with reference to the remark your reviewer makes concerning the electrical section, to say that he has apparently overlooked the fact that a large part of the space is occupied with the " Riker," "Mackenzie," "Columbia," and the Electric Motive Power Company's vehicles, includ- ing runabouts, four-seated dog-carts, Stanhope and electric vans ?—I am, Sir, &c., W. WORBY BEAUMONT. Outer Temple, 222 Strand, W.C.

[We gladly insert Mr. Beaumont's letter, but we adhere to our opinion that he might usefully have treated the lighter forms of electric car with more fulness.—ED. Spectator.]
