A Good Gathering of Petrol and Steam Vehicles at the Annual C.M.U.A. Event. Full List of Prize-winning Competitors.
I T WAS only to be expected thataLiver pool, as the pioneer of motor parades in Lancashire, would provide some keen competitions at the fourth lannual parade, organized by the local branch of the Commercial Mater Users Asso-, dation. Whatever doubts there may have been four or five weeks ago as to. the justification for this interesting fixture, they were completely dissipated by the splendid procession of steamers and petrol vehicles on the parade ground on September 29th. About 80 machines,grouped according to the nature of the business of the owner, (a) haulage contractor Or (b) other than haulage contractor, paraded, and they were classified according to the date of their debut in the domain of road delivery service.
The two main events of the day were the competitions for the Sentinel Silver Challenge Cup and the ThornYcroft Silver Challenge Cup awarded by the Sentinel Waggon Works (1920), Ltd., and J. I. Thornycroft and Co:, Ltd., for the beat fleet of three steamers and petrol vehicles respectively of any make, and to be held by the winners for 12 months. One company—Fauna and Co., Ltd., sugar refiners, of Liverpool—won the two, • By the way, the three petrol vehicles —which were a credit alike to the owners and the drivers—were real show models„ and had transparent plate-glass panels fitted in the bonnetcasings, giving a complete view of the well-kept engines. The Ran-ier machine, whicl won a first prize in the 1918 petrol section, has achieved the remarkable record Of winning four first prizes in its class—, one at each of the parades held in Liverpool.
We give below an analysis of the entries, hut it •should. be remembered that. some vehicles were entered both for the single classes and, the fleet prizes, consequently duplication is unavoidable. Fleets—Steamers: 18 Leylands, 12 Sentinels. Petrol 12 Leylands, 3. Hallevs, 1 Albion, 1 Ka,rrier, 1 Dennis. Sin)* vehieles.—Steam 19 Ley= lands, 16 Sentinels 1 Foden.

An innovation was a non-members' class, which attracted eight entries.
One of the,interesting features of the parade was the presence of a fair number of tankers, one of them, owned by Fairrie and Co., Ltd. having a capacity of 2;000 gallons of fuel oil of nearly eight tons weight. The British Cane Molasses Co-. had several Halley tankers en parade.. •
The parade through the city was participated in by about 110 to 120 vehicles, many of them with decorative van bodies used for advertising purposes.
