A CREDIT TO CANTERBURY.

Messrs Steel Bros"., of Addington, the well-known carriage and motor body builders, have a specially fine exhibit of very choice specimens of their carriage manufacture.' They show, in particular, a splendid assortment —four in number—of their well-known tray gigs,-.which are the most popular vehicles in Canterbury, and there are few towns in the province where one will not see one of these smart, wellmade, compact gigs, with everything under cover and bearing the distinctive mark of the Addington firm. Not content, with this display, they also show their well-known governess cart, which also speaks for itself. The main portion of ;he exhibit, which should be of especial interest to the country visitors, is the farmer's spring dray. There are three specimens of their class, built for different weights, and these are very handsomely and strongly made, and carry from 15 cwt to 25 cwt. Every farmer should examine'these.

The whole exhibit is a credit, not alone to Addington, but to the Dominion. «...
