A FEW PRESS OPINIONS ON TA. EDISON'S KINETOSCOPE AND • PHONOGRAPH EXHIBITION :— Lyttelton Times. — "Thepictures shown are steady and clearly defined ; there is no break in the sequence of the various movements of the subjects." Spectator, Christchuech.—" This Exhibition is without a doubt one of the most interesting that has ever visited the Cathe-> ' dral City." i Christchurch Press. — " There is just this about the Kinetoscope, and that is, the pictures are far more natural and lifelike than any we have had here in the past." Ashburton Standard — ''Without doubt the Phonograph which Mr. Colquhoun has introduced is one of the best which has found its way into this colony." Ashburton Guabdian. — " The reproductions are as realistic as if the spectators were in the Ope^Jlouse itfaelf." i The Timaru Herald.—" The Phonograph is now well known, and all we need say of this one is that it gives the clearest reproductions we have yet heard. The Kinetoscopes are marvellous instruments; there is no lantern used to enlarge and blur the pictures. One looks at the moving figures ot perfect distinctness without the least fatigue to the eyes— in fact, you could look at them for hours." Oamaru Mail.—" The Kinetosbope is an improvement on the kinemetograph; the pictures shown are much clearer and less shattered ; the movements of the figures are absolutely lifelike." Mata^ba Ensign. — "The pictures are brought out with surprising fidelity, and the pictures presented to the spectators' gaze look for all the world like a scene in real hfe." Otago Daily Times-.—" The Kinetoscope reproduces a series of events with life-like fidelity ; they are steady and clearly defined, and do not have that dazzling effect on the eyes peculiar to the views produced by the cmemetograph . ' ' The STAE.-nV The scenes are wonderfully* steady ; there is no blurring, and the spectacle is not wearying- to the eyes." NOW OPEN, Next Hugh Inglis's " Cycledom," Wiilis-st. Open -from 10 a.m. daily. Miss Wabd, Pianist. CAMPBELL COLQUHOUN, Manager. " I^TEA-REST AND DEAREST." Such was the message the most conspicuous of colonial Premiers (the Right Hon. Mr. Reid) asked should be sent to the Australians on his departure from England. Like all good things ifc was wrapped in a small compass, and conveyed a whole volume of sentiment in an epigram. Measured by miles the Australasian Colonies are distant indeed from the Mother Country ; but in patriotic sentiment the same pulse throbs when the question of supremacy is questioned, and- in that sense the word ' nearest " is highly appropriate, and the term deaeest" is capable' of more than one meaning. Mi\ Reid conveyed the idea of affection and >6eritiment, but mere commercial men judge it from a cold-blooded £8 d standpoint. "Dearest'" does not' necessarily mean "best," for in everyday life the contrary is found to be the case. For instance, we find' the dearest is not Jkhe best in the matter of articles used on our tables at every meal, and yet it is possible to combine the "PUREST," " CHEAPEST," and " BEST "in one. Suratura Tea is a notable proof of this apparent paradox. Four years ago it came like a gleam of sunshine on a world previously satisfied with the products of the unclean Chinese producers ; now it is considered indispensable by more than half of the people of this colony. Suiatura is not blended with Indian or China Teas. TO HOUSEHOLDERS AND HOTELKEEPERS. BOTTLED ALE AND STOUT. DOG'S HEAD BRAND ! mHE famous DOG'S HEAD Brand of -*- Bass's Ale justly takes the lead in New Zealand. ' ' Dog's Head "is the highest quality of Guiness's Stout, and is brewed expressly for exportation. Nine Reasons why "Dog's Head " Bass is the best — 1. Because it is bottled by Read Bros., who purchase exclusively from Bass & Co. ; ■ consequently it is not mixed with other ales. 2. Because, of the 35 different qualities brewed by Bass, Read Bros, purchase only the E.B. (export bottling, of full gravity), which is Bass's Highest Grade of Pale Ale, for which they pay a higher price than for any other brewing. 3. Because Read Bros, allow their purchases of Bass's Ale to remain in Bass's and their own cellars for a year and a half to ripen. 4. Because Read Bros, bottle under a method of their own, by which the Ale pours out absolutely clear and brilliant. 5. Because Read Bros.' is specially brewed for export. 6. Because Dog's Head is matured before shipment. 7. Because Dog's Head Ale is free from sediment. ■* 8. Because of the absence of sediment, nearly an additional glass of Alb can be obtained Irom each quart bottle, which means the retailer can make trom 4s to 6s per dozen more profit than can be obtained from other brands. 9. Because Read's " DOG'S HEAD " Ale, if opened in the evening and only partly used, will be found in as excellent a condition in the morning as it was when opened . This advantage cannot be overestimated, as many brands are found to be absolutely useless after being opened for a short time. Publicans and Housekeepers, ask for Read's DOG'S HEAD BRAND of Ale and Stout. GAS ENGINE.
