A THOROUGHBRED OF MOTORDOM JUST ARRIVED AT CHRISTCHUKCH. At this season of tho ywir the young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of gc::-gcos, and sporting similes como readily to tho pen when one comes, to describo the latest, daintiest, and most luxurious of niotor-caTS of tlio Minerva breed to arrivo in this city. Tho Minerva is noted, not particularly because it is equipped with a Silent Knight engine, the apotheosis of tho motor engineer's art, or because the celebrated Antwerp firm turns out tho best Silent Knight engines in tho world, but rather because tlio namo "Minerva' 'on a car denotes tho limit of attainable perfection in materials mechanism, finish, and design. The three-sealer cream-ooloured 14.25 h.p. Minerva which is at present awaiting a purchaser in the gnrngo of Adams, Ltd., makes a distinct apjwal both to tho aesthetic and engineering faculties of tho experienced motorist. At a time when the city is crowded with American cars, built primarily for cheapness, a car such as this latest of the Minorvas conws refreshingly to tho oyo. In every detail it evidences the eye of tho artist ari"d the brain of the master mechanician. The scction wind-screen, the elcctrie lighting ■ installation, tin low luxurious scats, tho beauty of the upholstery, tlio fine flowing ! 'lies of the body—trim as a yacht from stem to stern, without corners, gables or projections—all these are but a tithe of the refinements and excellences of this thoroughbred among modern cars. And the pirn 1 ? The price is fixed on an honest basis. Tlio London price of the chassis is jaiO. of tho liodv and extras J.'S7 Is., and of the C.A.V. lighting set .£'4o 12.=. Bd. To these charges aro added tho cost of importation only. Tho car is one to be proud of, and Adams, Limited, invito correspondence from nnyono who is interested in motors, to whom photos and parUoularfl will be Doated.—A<lvt,
