Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

The Parade will be held in June ; entries will be invited and the general conditions issued on, approximately, the 15th September next. Entries will close on the 1st of January, 1912, but late entries will be received up to the 31st March, 1912, on payment of a fine of one guinea per vehicle, and from the 31st March up to within one month of the parade on payment of a fine of two guineas per vehicle. Members of the C.M.U.A., whose subscriptions for 1912 have been paid, will be allowed to enter their vehicles free ; non-members on payment of a fee of 10s. per vehicle. No demonstratibn or semi-demonstration vehicles will be eligible to enter for the Parade.

Inspection.

The garages, drivers and vehicles will be inspected by an engineer appointed by the Association. The inspection will commence on the let January, 1912, and will consist of a visit to each of the garages, a general viva-voce examination of the drivers there, and an inspection of the vehicles and of the logs and records under working conditions.

Markings.

Marks will be allotted in relation to the drivers' personal qualifications, the total mileage, weekly mileage and age of the machine, the nature of the work, the intensity of the work, and the general condition of the vehicle due to the driver and not due to the owner or due to construction.

Drivers.

If arrangements can be made, the drivers may be given a number of tickets for some popular exhibition as near as possible to the Parade centre. If it is impossible to make such arrangements, a sum of money will be given to the non-winning drivers, by way of consolation. Drivers may be changed, after the date of entry, up to the 15th May, 1912, provided one week's notice is given to the C.M.U.A. After the 15th May, no change of driver will be allowed, but, in the event of a driver's being absent, through illness or other cause, on the date of the Parade, his vehicle may be brought to the Parade by another man, but the driver who was originally named will alone be eligible for such prizes as his vehicle may earn.

Parade and Prizes.

The Parade will be a short one, say, the morning only if held on a Bank Holiday, or on a Saturday afternoon, and the Association is endeavouring to arrange for it to be held in an open space where all the vehicles can be collected together. The following prizes will be awarded on parade : (1) Drivers' Prizes.—To be judged on the results of the above-mentioned inspection.

(2) Engineers' Prize.—A cup or cups will be offered for competition amongst engineers for the vehicle or group of vehicles showing the best condition on parade.

(3) Owners' Prizes.—TITE COMMERCIAL MOTOR Challenge Cup will again be offered for competition in the team section : the judging will be on the result of the report of the engineer appointed by the Association, with a small percentage of marks for method of presentation and general appearance of the team on parade.
