Marquis De Dion was the first man to make a commercial vehicle which was a great success fifteen years ago. A Darraeq at the same time also brought' out a small runabout which was at once recognised as being buiit on correct lines. Thwhole world have copied these two firms • by adopting ' such a feature as the cardan shaft in place of the everlasting troublesome chain system. Consequently other firms who now claim to be up-to-date by adopting thissystem are fifteen years beyond the times. De Dion and Darraeq lead, others'followAs for magneto ignition three years ago we bad this magnificent system in use on our ears in Row Zealnd. Again we lead. Some people are wondering why there are as; manv Darraeq and De Dion cars on the "New Zealand roads as any other two makes put together; the answer is simple : they were the first in the colony seven years ago and nave stood the rough roads so exceptionallv well that it is now a byword as reliable -as a Darraeq or a De Dion. Both these cars are made in Taris. the home of the world's motor business, although they are owned by British Capitalists who prefer investing their capital m good and well tried foreign factories than kto invest in small concerns who keep on chancing their patterns from year to year, and whose products are still only experiments which unfortunately are pushed upW the market as up-to-date but fifeen years beyond the tint's. Our challenge of last week has proved this as not a single agent as come forward to match his .car with ours: consequently we are fully justified in claiming the Darraeq and De Dion the lest on the market...

T-ennei. president- of the Timaru Tennis Club presented Mr Knubley with a handsome gold albc-rt, from the members of the club. In congratulating Mr Knubley on his promotion in the bank's service, Mr Tennett .took occasion to express the regret at the loss to the club of a most useful, hardworking and enthusiastic honorary officer ,and member who was held in the highest esteem by all who had met liim. ' Mr Tennett as manager of the Bank of New South Wales at Timaru on behalf of the staff, past- and present, also presented Mr Knubley with a handsome flask. Mr Tennett"s expressions of regret and goodwill wer<? voiced by others present, and Mr Knubley made a very m#nly reply. Last evening the members of the Ttinity Debating and Literary Club assembled in theii; Club-room to participate in a debate on " Are we degenerating in regard, to Sunday obs.-rv.iiic.-''" In spite of. th rough weather a fair number of members congregat.-d. with the object of gaining some knowledge on the subject. Mr J. A. Valentine occupied the chair. Mr J. M. Millar, the affirmative leader, dealt veiy fully with the question, and pointed out* how the Sabbath was gradually being converted into a day of recreation instead of a day of rest and spiritual refreshment. Mr W. Ramsey,, who led in the negative, spoke with vigour, contending that Sab-bath-keeping wis chiefly a formality, and that the changing n-* of it did ncri. imply any degeneracy. All the numb?r.s present had something to say on the subject. At ih.> close of the- discussion, a vot? was taken, and the affirmative won by a narrow margin. It is seldom such an exhibition is seen as is now on view in Begg's window of violins in all their stages of manufacture,, together with the various tools used by the craft. The specimens exhibited are the work of Begg's Dunedin violin expert. Mr James Flint, who has made thi c branch of musical instrument making and repairing his special study. One of the violins is a copy of a celebrated Klotz. which is a very old family heirloom of the Begg's; the other is a copy- of a vaulable Degani. belonging to Mr Thos. Dow, of Dunedin; both being bitilt to order. Begir's. as is well-known, undertake the building, repairing and adjusting of all classe of violins, and besides their large stock at Tirharu and their various other broaches, their selection of old and valuable instruments in Dunedin Is probably without a rival in the Southern Hemisphere. Mr Huggins, their Ti maru Manager, besides being a- violinist, is an expert in this branch, and will be pleased to explain the various, processes to anyone interested.... "Nipped up."

A warm northerly wind made yesterday too fine a day for mid-winter, an early and decided change was anticipated. This came, in the evening; Lat? in the afternoon a heavy bank of clouds appeared in the south, and driven by a moderately stiff giila this reached Timaru about dusk, and proved to ba th:' herald of a cold, wet and windy night. Wellington housiwivej are retrenching in various directions owing -to the. present high cost of living. An . illustration was; an'mded on Thursday, when the Benevolent Trustees were asked To make ;t weekly allowance to a woman wh/> formerly supported, herself by gong out washing. She explained that now everybody seemed to to. doing their oven washing, hence her appeal for aid. /The Minister for Justice,intends to submit to'- Parliament a- proposal to increase the pay of members of the police force. This decision has h-=en- tome to on, the recommendation of the Police Commis;siouei', who considers thai, owing to the increase of police duties and' the extra co.,t of living, the.rate of pay should be increa--ed. Iris also- understood that Parliament will be-asked to increase the pay of prison wanl'ers. In reply-to a resolution from the Invercargill Chamber of Commerce that the time has arrived for a through night . service between Dunedin and Christchurch, the Acting-Minister of Railways states that such a service is impracticable at present. When through connection between Well : ington and Auckland is established the proposal will be considered in connection with the through service from south to north. Music-lovers in Timaru have recently had s:veial opportunities of hearing both vocalists and instrumentalists from Home arid among the latest, artists from the.'Continent is Mn C. M. Brooke, who is to give a song recital at the Theatre Royal on the 26th inst. Mrs Brooke has the support of a very fine company. The Christchurch papers in reporting a recent concert by Mrs Brooke were enthusiastic in , singing her praises. The many friends of .Mr Dixon, latf manager of* the South Canterbury Dairy Company, will l>e pleased to learn that his company's (Paeroa, Auckland) butter gained two'firsts out of 52 competitors in ieach class at th* Auckland Winter Show, and he has just won the grading competition (also from 52 competitors). Altogether the prizes represent• £32 in cash, together with a trophy consisting of Chambers' Encyclopaedia "of ten volumes, valued at seven guineas, aud a silver cup, valued at 25 guineas, tliis latter being held for the ensuing year. The directors, to mark their appreciation of Mr Dixon's success, have handed him the cash prizes and trophy. ' A petition has be?n drawn up, and is being oirculated for signatures throughout the Ashburlon and South Canterbury districts, drawing the attention of the Commissioner of Crown Lands to the desirableness of reserving for recreation purposes all the available" bush now left round the base of Little Moupt Peel, and bounded by Master's and Aeland's roads. The petition states that those parts of the bush already cut into would become productive of timber if fenced hi and protected from cattle as the ground iss full of se?d. It is stated that the owners of the land w r ithin the boundaries mentioned are quite willing to sell to the~ Government. The usual jveekly meeting of the Life Boat Lodge No.'lol, I.O.G.'JV was held last evening, the G.T. Bro. F. Peake presiding. Three candidates were initiated arid two.persons proposed for membership. The harmony committee reported that- an open night would be held next week ,the proceeds /to go towards the piano fund. After ./the. usual business had been disposed of the programme "Instrumental Night"' was carried out. Items were given by Brothers "Hawkey, Clauahton, Newlands, and Sister Lennie. Harmony was then indulged in, those contributing being Brothers Williams, Kemsley. Griffiths, Peake, Muehmore and Sisters Jarvis, Riellv. Raymond. The lodge was closed at 9.45. The : Otaio School Committee met on Wednesday evening to accept the resignation of Mr A. Martin, iunr. Mr Martin has been a member of the Committee for the last nine years, and. chairman for the past fourteen months. Mr Brunton said the committee was very sorry to lose such a good worker, but as he was leaving -the district it could not be helped. Mr Walton was elected chairman in his stead. Mr Brunton said as Mr Martin was leaving them the: committee wished to give him asmall gift to remind him of his friends at Otaio. Mr D. living then presented Mr Martin with a handsome smoker's companion : a case of pipes and tobacco pouch from the school committee and three other . friends. At the close of the choir practice of Otaio Presbyterian Church on Thursdiay. Miss .Georgina Martin, who is leaving the district, was presented with a silvermounted hair brush and combs from the members in' recognition of her many valuable services. Mr G. Irwin, wdio made the presentation spoke highly of her qualities as ;t member of the choir. He said she was always to be found at her post working harmoniously with 1 all, courteous and obliging. They regretted very much her departure 'and .wished her a. happy, bright and prosperous future. 'The presentation was made at th* schoolhouse, the residence of Mrs D. McKay, who contributed to the evening's enjoyment, songs and music, after which all sat down to supper. When your throat is dry and husky, a. Zymols Trokey will relieve that disagreeable feeling.
