In this paper, a matrix which is similar to Hamilton operators has been developed for Cayley numbers in eight dimensional Euclidean space E(8) and a new motion has been defined by this matrix. It is shown that this is a homothetic motion. Furthermore, it has been found that the motion defined by regular curve of order r has only one acceleration centre of order (r - 1) at every instant.
