The Darracq and De Dion motor cars are constructed by firms of 18 years standing- and without "a doubt experience is a ■, most important point in the construction of a good reliable motor car. Marquis De Dion was the first man tf> make ;i commercial vehicle which was a great success fifteen years ago. A Darracq at the same time also brought out a small runabout which was at once recognised ns j being built on correct linr-s. The whole world havf- copied these two firms by adopting endi a ff.itvnj as the cardan shaft in place of the everlasting troublesome chain system. Consequently other firms who now claim ti> be up-to-date by adopting this system are fifteen years beyond the times. IVi Dion and Darracq lead, others followAs for magnet*) ignition three years ago we I.ad this maenifitent system in use on our cars in New Zealnd. Again we lead. Rome people are wonderintr why there are as many Darracq and De Dion cars on the New Zealand roads as any other two makes put together : the answer is simple : they were the first *n the colony seven years ago and have stood the rough -roads so- exceptionally well that it is now a bvworcl a-s reliable as a -Darracq or a De Dion. Both these cars aro made in Tmtis. the home of the world's motor busme-s. although they are owned by British Capitalists who prefer investing their capital in "nod and welt tried foreign factories than to invest in small concerns who keep on changing their patterns from year to year, and whose products are still only experiments which unfortunately are prislied upon the market as up-to-date but fifeen years beyond the tim-s- Oar challenge of last week has proved this as not a single agent a* come forward to match his nr with ours: consequently we are fntty iiistifir-d in claiming the Darracq and De Dion the fee:t on th« market...

Therj was a fair attendance in the. Parish Hali. Geraldinc, on Tuesday eveniug, when the II v. K. Hamilton gave a lecture on the Early Days or the Church in New Zealand.

Two former teachers of South Canterbury are bu<-y with technical education in Uis Wanganui education district. Mr Hintz is in charge of the northern, and Mr H. Amos of the southern district. Mr Amos, reporting to th; Education Board, tells of 30 classes with 340 pupils, at seven centres; Mr Hintz. of 517 pupils, also at seven centres. The latt:r mentions thai, the Kltham Borough Council has given £4O to the local technical :-cIu;oI. The Wangauui Board has been furnished with means to offer a £2O schhirship. tenable: for two years, the special subjects for examination being nature sfuify and school horticulture. Mr Pirani, a member of the Board, proposes to do away with the District High School in Wanganui, and substitute a technical day •school. This, it appears, has already be:n done at Pahnerc-ton North. Speaking fin the subject at the Board meeting, Mr Pirarii said :—"I say that if the people of Wanganui do not- take the chances that are offered in regard to the establishment of technical day classes at Ihs Technical 'School, it is either because they do not understand the position, or because it has b;;n obscured by those whose interest-•• conflict with these classes-. Tlie object ia to give the growing up children a training in directions other than the professions such as thty cannot get at the District High School. If the people do not want tilts? classc--, it is' the duty of the Board to establish them against the wishes of the people who are supposed to represent the interests of the children."

3i H. P. 1907 TRIUMPH MOTOR CYCLE. We h.ive just, landed the new 1907 Imperial Triumph -motor cycle, and we arc now snaking deliveries of orders held by us. The past season has again clearly de-nion-tnited that amongst motor cycles the Triumph stands an easy first due to efficiency, in perfection in detail, its absolute reliability, its lightness, speed, power, and comfort. Progress* however, is the. motto — greats, r efficiency is the aim of the- manufacturers of the Triumph motor cycle. The marvellous steadiness and even pull of the engine will be a revelation to anyone who has not ridden this machine. The following are exclusive Triumph features —ball bearing engine, patent spring forks, patent foot- rests, long re'-ilient handlebars, patent balance weighted fly wheels, Simms Bosch magneto ignition, patent silencer, patent rim brakes, patent stand and carrier. We hope that intending purchasers, who are perhaps thinking of buying a foreign-made machine on account of price, will inspect the Triumph before doing-this, remembering that the best is the cheapest in the end. Triumphs are all British manufacture. Adams Ltd., The Arcade, .Timaru...

A useful rain fell about-Timaru yesterday morning. It was hoped that the fall would continue for soma lime, and give the country a much-neded soaking. Towards noon, however, the showers became lighter, and in the afternoon th-e clouds broke and the welcome but insufficient rain was all over, for the clay at any rate.

The Coursing Club's Bracelet meeting was opened at the Pluinplon. yesterday afternoon. The weather was against a good attendance, but those who did venture out were rewarded with a, splendid clay's sport. The meeting will be continued this afternoon, when the most important courses for the Bracelet- and an Open Slake will ba run off.,- The special train leaves town at 1.10 p.m., and coursing will start at 1.30 p.m. Given fine weather, and with the weekly half-holi-day; the attendance of sportsmen should be very good. It niay be added that th-a-Club have the cards ouh for the Timaru Champion Stake, which is to be. run in May, 1903. The number of .dogs, at £3 3s each, will be unlimited, and the stake is'to be £l6O, the biggest ever given by any Club in New' Zealand. The first payment, will fall due on October 27th, the second on December 7th, third on February Bth, and final on May Ist. The Club deserve the best of support for such a stake as this.
