The 25 mile Annual Road-Race of the Queensland League which was run off over the Sandgate course near Brisbane on Saturday last proved another Massey-Harris success. Sweneson on that machine secured first place, while Benjamin and Brandt on the same jigger secured first and second fastest time.— -**., A captain in the Royal Army Medical Corps, writing from Muttra, India, to the editor of the Irish Cyclist, says of Dunlop tropical tyres : " I have had only one puncture in my last four thousand miles over very bad roads, which speaks well for my tropical Dunlops. Every new pair of tyres I get seems better than the last, in fact you can't sell a bike here second-hand unless it has tropical Dunlops." — *% The attention of those about to purchase or lease hotels, is directed to the advertisement of Messrs. Dwan Brothers, the wellknown hotel brokers and estate agents, Wellington, which appears elsewhere in this issue. The firm is prepared to treat about houses both in Wellington city and suburbs, and also in the Wairarapa and Marlborough districts. On reference to the list it will be seen that the prices and rentals are such as to suit the requirements of all classes of clients. — „,% Lovers of Church music will be interested in the list which Messrs. Louis Grille and Co. of Liverpool street, Sydney, publish in another page. Besides various Masses the firm directs attention to four oratorios by the famous priest-composer, Don Lorenzo Perosi, who ha 3 come so prominently before the public within the past few years. Although but twenty-six years of age, he has already composed more than half a dozen oratorios, about fifteen Masses, and several shorter pieces. About the beginning of the year all Italy was talking of the genius of this composer, but now his works are known all over Europe, and some were produced in England a few months ago, when they stood the test of the keenest criticism. There can be no doubt but that Don Perosi has taken rank with the foremost of living composers. Among the oratorios stocked by Messrs. Gille and Co. are Don Perosi's two great works— 4 The Resurrection of Christ' and the ' Resurrection of Lazarus.' — »%
