Cold, windswept* and dreary, the Wellington wharves on Monday evening presented a'cheerless sight ([says the Times) J .Especially was this so about midnight, when the steamer Mapourika drew out for Tier run to Picton. Even up to the last minute it was somewhat'doubtful if (the boat would go, and that the trip was not relished by travellers was evident by ■the very small number who undertook it. One man had particularly hard luck. During the day the 'Mapourika was berthed at (the King's wharf, and the person in question tramped around there and duly installed his baggage on board. He left "his hotel in the evening at about a quarter of an hoiir before the advertised time of sailing, find a smart walk of some ten minuites: brought 1 him to the King's wharf., only to find that in the interval the Mapourika had been shifted to the other end of the berthage area, and was lying at the Taranaki Streat '.. wharf. A desperate race round ensued,: but the unfortunate traveller arrived a minute too late, and saw the vessel shpping her lines with his personal I effects on board. However, he tookthe matter philosophically. "It's dn-ty outside, and they can have it i all on their own," he remarked to a j shivering group of sympathisers. | If credit is a convenience, "The ! Dresden" will gladly extend (the ad- | vantages of , its popular and liberal • time-payment system bo that you .will ! be able to. furnish your home with a j piano. You merely pay a small de- ! posit and then instalments of 20s .a j month, or more. In no other warej house in New Zealand—or iii Aus- | tralia either—are there so many i pianos and organs under one roof as i a{fc the- Dresden P&no Company's in Wellington. It is a wonderful stock tto select from. 'Then, too. there can Ibe no bargaining with the Dresden .Its first price is its last—and lowest, j Inus, a child could purchase a piano ; .inst as ndvanfcageonsly as could a { man. Ihis is the essence of 'fairness. »No wonder /'The Dresden" possesses • the confidence of the public. The ; Company s manager in the North , ; Island is Mr M. J.
