Substantial progress has been made with the raising of tho ground ov.r a section at. the north end of Caioline Bay. which the. Beautifying Association intend to lay down in grass and shrubberies. A considerable depth of sand and grit has been scooped from the sea flout to form thartificial subsoil, and 1 a, low wall of rubble, block.-.' is being made lo protect fhe made ground from injury by occasional liwivy seas. The ridge of shingle that is growing up on the sea. front, howvvrr. promis! s to form, an efficient, protection from injury of that kind. When tho scooping has been done, some clay ami soil are to be got. from tho railway cliffs, and probably some of the elay from-tho drainage tunnels will be utilised-for this purpose.

One of the inn«t important points in selecting a motor-car is to be sure and gel the selling agent to show you his stock of spare parts; it is a fact that is only too often overlooked by the purchaser.
