Yesterday a sale of pictures on account of Mr C. H. T. Sterndale was conducted at the Rialto by Messrs H. Allchurohi and Co. Lovers of art attended in large numbers, and as the sale progressed the bidding became more and more spirited. The works offered included etchings, water-colours, studies in oils, and lithographs; -and tne whole collection—which, by the way, was one of the finest ever assembled in a Timaru auction room—was eagerly, , sought.

The simple ancl j sturdy construction, clean exterior, | powerful engine and easy running impressed all present. Most noticeable I was the freedom from stops, the engino running continuously (3) hours at one stretch) without- a falter. The power unit is a 30-35 horse-power 'Ricardo engine specially constructed to do awnv with kerosene getting into the crank case. The oil requires changing every •500 working hours—or, in motor car terms, every 10.000 miles. (Tt onlv consumed one pint of oil in the 9 hours’ rain when dobulo-diseing.)
