The Burgess company, however, manufacture the tractor type as well. The objection to the "pusher" type is its low speed and less sensitive response to manual control, a necessary sacrifice to safety, but one Avhich the military service cannot afford to make; hence the tractor tj pe is preferred by the military, while tne "pusher" type is more acceptable to the sportsmen KILLED HORSE AFTER SMASH-UP Automobile and Vehicle Collided while Parties were Returning Home from Social Affair Nkar Hunterstown.
