Coming Changes in Fashion. It is many years since tlie Change in Fashion has been so complete as it nndoubtly will be this year; every thin- 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 gone from the Broad Plat Hats to the Harrow Crown High Hats. The Majority of Muslin Eobes 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 Satm finished Silks such as' Mescalines will be much in demand. Dress materials generally will have the bright finished effeet 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.

ACROSS AUSTRALIA. A HAZARDOUS MUTOK JUUUNKY. l!y Klectrc Telegraph--IMUJT DARWIN. Aug. 22 T,,u motorists Mc.-sn. Duttoii and Auns'T. have, arrived licie from Adelaide ia Talbot, motor-cars. Loth nivu and irwrliin-s arc- in excellent condition after their long and hazardous journey across Australia, which was accomplished with only one set of tyres. The- party had >ori"e tiving experiences among the sandhills. Mi..si, Dutton and Aunger attempted to cio-*- the Australian Continent last year, hut in consequence of heavy mhis in the interior, had to abandon their attempt and leave their Talbot car at .Tcnnant's Crick, about V.OO miles from Adelaide. Th*. vcar tiny left Adelaide on June 30th, ami though " mecl : mx with considerably difiiculties, made more satisfacloiy progress than on the lirst attempt, and at T.imant's Creek picked tip the car abandoned last y.-ar. Although the motor Lad be.it exposed iv the weather for nearly nine months, the engine was fuimd little" the worse, and the motorists eon tinued -their journey with the two Talbot cars-. The last progress report received fioiu them w;m to the effect that after inching iough country and ant hills, Sturt's plain was reached on Friday, 7t!i int. The grass was thick and high, and there were ruts about 2ft deep. The giound was much cracked, and was severe on the ;pr. : ngs and .wheels. Afterwards 11 miles of thick forest was the leading car making its way through mikill trees and bitches, which fell like li ;y before a scythe. K became necessary to rope the body of the old car to thu frame. The day's run was 42 miles. On Saturday tiny ran through thick finber 10 l>aly Waters. The natives '•■ id .-et lire to the forests, and the c .•nutty was in Maims for mile*. The long grass caused the lire to spread rapidly, and the only chance of the motoriist.si was to make a dash through three miles of burning country, wi'h the llamas keeping f'.ct high on both s'des of the ear. Thu last ten miles into Daly Waters constituted the fastest tun of the whole trip. They wt'ie almost choked with smoke, and the car was covered with burnt leaves. Sole N.Z. Agents.
