At The Show.

Mrs Rawlins' Activities. The stewardo' lnnchoon at the Show was once more catered tor by Mrs Rawlins and it proved to be a first rata lunch, the excellence of which was commented ou by officials and visitors yesterday. Mrs Rawlins has also a general luncheon booth under the Grandstand, where Inncheous, afternoon Hs, etc., are served. These are all staffed with experts and there is do waiting. The White House whs at the sums time kept busy all yesterday and will be bnsier with the moreased unmber of visitors who will pour iuto town today and to-morrow and who are in the habit of patronising the wellfenowu establishment. A Remarkable Motor Tyre. While so mcny motorists are assembled at the Show and discussing cars, the question of tyres is very much on the tapis, The falmor Oord Tyre is gaining ground the world over, Amongst its users ate His Majesty the Kiug and his representative in New Zealand, Lord Ishugton, There is an nuormoas different* between the load a Palmer Cord Tyre will carry with safety and the maximum lead foi a Claims Tyre fitting the same size of rim. So it is easy to appreciate why an increasing number of csis are fitted with the Palmer Oord Tyro. Delays due to tyre failure are avoided, and mileago cost reduced without even the necessity of fitting rims of a different size, These advautnp s have led to a very greatly iucrpssad demaud from every part of New Zealand, and a reduction in price lecently made brings t ie valuable tyre within the reach 01 all. Motorists should send to the Department, 165 Manchester street. Ohristcliorcb, mmtioiiiug the Maiiawatd Daily Times.

Mr J. E. Skeate's Cars, Two striking loosing motor cars Which attracted a good deal of admiring attention y> sterday were to be funn*] near the Wolssley shearing demonstration jar's. On<j whs a vivid but artistic green and ths other white. They wav. shown by Mr J. E. Skeates, the well kmwn motor car importer and engineer o( 18 Kin? street. The green car is really a triumph of car constructionand build ins. It is a torpedo do Dion of the latest type, a car de luxe *alued at £750, the body specially bnilt and upholstered by the King's carriage bnilders, Messrs Mulling and 00., of Jjondon. Their work reprfsents the last word in utility, luxury an! beauty and came in for universal admiration. Tiie body is particularly roomy and the seats so constrncted that there is no possibility of the sliding oft' feeling that is sometimes felt in a car at speed, while their comfort is absolute. The engines and chasis of the, great Fivnch firm which pioneered the motor car trade and has niver looked bacb'since, ara quite worthy of the beautiful siting. What a de Dion cau accomplish is well known to all experts, bat there is one instance of a car by a promiuent offioo of the Dunlop Company in Australia, which has beet) running for years bumping all ovr the Continent on the most horrible roads and on roads at all, nutting up records, acting as a starting car, ambulance and finishing rar for all the big mot'r tfsts, yet nevev fails its owner and never has a break, down and it is only an eight horse power. The white rar is a Darracq, of whioh over 300 are now jnum'ng in New Zealand, and Mr Skfat's specially recommends it as a farmers' car. It is a cheaper car than the other, considerably. Very strong and leliable. Mr Ske»tes is on hand to explain all about both cars and also the Deasy-Sidfleley and Arrol-John-son, two woll known makes that lie is agfnt for and the cars of which have been delayed owing to the London strikes.
