Coming Changes in Fashion. It is many years since the Change in Fashion has been so complete as it undoubtly will be this year; every thing that a Lady can wear on the Street will be strikingly different in Style from what was fashionable last year. In Millinery the Style has "-one from the Broad Flat Hats to the Narrow Crown High Hats. The Majority of Muslin Itobes will be worn this Season with Deep Printed Borders and Several Attractive Samples are now on view at Penrose's. Satins which have been back members for many years are coming on to the Market, and with them all Satin finished Silks such as Messalines will be much in demand. Dress materials generally will have the bright finished effect which is noticeable in either Mohairs or the materials made of Silk. For dresses and Millinery of the most stylish kind a liberal display is to be seen at Penrose's. Orders for dresses arc now being booked and at most reasonable prices. Here are some examples.

Aug. 22. Tvo motorist-. Messrs Dut'.on and \!ili"i have arrived here from Adclalue In Talbot motor-ears. Both lueu and machines are in excellent condition after their long and hazardous journey across Australia, which was accomplished with onlv one set of tyres. The party ha« some trviug experiences among the sandhills. MessT-i Dutton and Auiiger attempted to eio.-*s the Australian Continent last year, but in consequence of heavy rains iu the interior, had to abandon their attempt anil leave their Talbot car at, Teiuiant's Creek, about 14C0 miles from Adelaide. This vear thty left Adelaide- on June 50th. and "though " meeting with considerable difficulties, made woie satisfactory piogress than on tlie lir.-t attempt, and at Teiinau'*» Creek picked up the ear abandoned last year. Although the motor had been exposed to the weather for nearlv nine mouths, the engine was found little" the worse, and the motorist-? eon tinued -their journey with the two Talbot ears. The last progress report received from them was t«» the effect that after ci'Lcshrg rough country and ant hills. Sf'rfs plain was reached on Friday. 7th hist. The grass was 'thick and high, and -here were ruts about 2ft deep. Tho ground was tntteli cracked, and was severe on the 'springs and wheels. Afterwards 1! miles of thick forest was- penetrated, the leadiug ear making its way through small tree.-* and bitches, which fell like hay before ;i scythe. It became necessary to rope the body of the old car to tho frame. The day's run was 42 miles. On Saturday they ran through thick timber io Daly Waters. The natives hud set lire to the forests, and the country was in Halites for inilctf. The long glass caused the lire to spread rapidly, and the only chance of the motoririt.-> was to make a dash through three milts of burning country, with the Haines keeping feet high on both sides of the car. The las: ten miles into Daly Waters constituted the fastest run of the whole trip. They weie almost choked with .smoke, and the car was covered with burnt leaves. Sole N.Z. Agents.
