It has demonstrated, these things in actual competition, under competitive conditions, and it has demonstrated them less publicly, but not less effectively,, in eyery-d;ay the hands of thousands of motor-cyclists. Ever since we. first introduced the "Triumph" to the; New Zealand market tho machine has- grown, in popularity until to-day it is tftd standard niotor-oycle in the machine by which all others are judged.

Operative' bakers (states ths Melbourne "Ago") are demanding day labour, as. opposed , to night labour, and'th» public, tfith. even greater insistence, 1b demanding fresh-baked bread fot breakfast. These two demands constitute, the horns of a dilemma, between idiioh. is tho master baker. Obviously ho cannot satisfy both, and tho eighth annual Convention of Fed.- J eral master bakers' expressed its mouu opinion that, hi present conditipns, day labour is impracticable. Master bakers,, as much as operatives, would _ welcome day labour from a personal point of view, but they recognise that they have a "boW' in the- public. Still, there are hopes of a settlement which -will satisfy all parties, Mr, R. Bobbins, a Melbourne baker,, 3ias been experimenting for some timo, with a View to preserving the fresh-: ness of bread, and he claims 'to" havo discovered a solution (whether chemical or : not lie did not Say) which, if a loaf is. dipped into it, will achieve the desired TO-, suit, » that an expert cannot tell tho differenco between a newly-baked loaf and. oiio whic'h is throe or four days old* At ■present the cost of tho preparation bars its commercial success, but the inventor, who declines, at present to disclose, any details, has hopes of making his. idea practicable in; a few months. ■ The Gisborne "Times" has. the follow-, ing paragraph: "The ill-fated are often hoard to wish for the, 'hick of a Chinaman,' and such a possession would be vaiuabis if tin fortune of the smiling Celesr ■ tin! who spent two days at the Gisborne races can be taken as & criterion. He visited the totalisator window far two big dividends of the second day, each time gleefully tucking Jflotcs into tiro pockets of his -nether garments. Before leaving Gisborne he- cancelled his steerage, passage south and procured a saloon faro, so as' to Jivo up to his quicMy-got .wealth. ■
