Agricultural Motor Trials in France.
The committee which organized last year's trials at Melun and Laon is seeking to hold a further competition in Paris. It is proposed to hold these tests from tf e 25th to the 29th of next month, and to give consumption and other performances certificates. We fear that the notice is too short for any English manufacturer to be inter

We are inclined to think that British makers will look with more favour upon the trials which are to be organized, under the direction of a committee of which Prince Pierre D'Arenberg is President, at Bourges, from the 25th September to the 6th October next.
