The triumph of the motor-car for military transport is being acclaimed in Melbourne. Twenty tons of cabin equipment for the Australian Field Artillery were delivered for the defence department at Capo Schanck by special motor vehicles within thirty hours, including all stoppages. The motor wagons were those employed by a local firm in their ordinary business. They were driven by members of the defence forces who are not expert motorists, and yet they did in thirty hour? what it is reckoned a similar nuts of three-horse teams could not have done in nine days. Sis of the care came through the test without the slightest damage, but owing to heavy rain two of the cars fell into trouble on their second trip, and had to be hauled back to Melbourne by their fellows. Otherwise the experiment was a unique success. In this issue Mr. F. Plumtree announces that he has purchased the business of the Auckland Clothing Company, and will reopen on Saturday next, April 13, with a large clearing sale. Ha intends to follow the cash system, and will sell none but the highest class of goods. The whole of the stock purchased from the Auckland Clothing Company will be offered at considerable reductions, and intending shoppers are asked to reserve their purchases until Saturday.
