A THOROUGHBBED OF SIOTOHDOM JUST ARRIVED AT CHRISTCHUKCH. At this season of • the year the young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of gee-gees, and sporting similes come readily to tlie pen when one comes to describe the latest, daintiest, and most luxurious of motor-cars of the Minerva breed to arrive in this city. The Minerva is noted, not' particularly because it is equipped with a Silent Knight engine, the apotheosis of the motor engineer's" art, or because tho celebrated Antwerp firm turns out the best Silent Knight engines in the world, but rather because the name "Minerva' 'on a ca.r denotes tho limit of attainable perfection in materials, mechanism, finish, and design. The three-sealer croam-colourcd 14.25 h.p. Minerva which is at present awaiting a pin-chaser in the garage of Adams, Ltd., makes a distinct app>nl both to the aesthetic-and engineering faculties of the experienced .motorist. At a timo when t-lin city is crowded with American care, built primarily for cheapness, a car such as this latest of the Minervas cornea refreshingly to the eye. Hi every detail it evidences tho eye of tho artist aifd the brain of the master mechanician. The section wind-screen, the electric lighting installation, tin low. luxurious seats, the beauty of the upholstery, tho fine flowing ! ! nes of the bodj;—trim as a yacht from stem to stern, without' corners, gables or projec- 1 tions—all these are but a titho Of the refinements and excellences of this thoroughbred among modern cars. And tho . price? The price is fixed 011 an honest ■ basis. Tho London price of-the chassis is ' jc.l-10, of tlie ■ hotly and extras ,CB7 K, and , of (lit* C.A.V. lighliiig set J.MO 12«. Bd. To these charges are. added tho cost of ' importation only. The car is one to lie proud of, and Adams, Limited, invito correspondence from anyone who is in- j terestcd in motors, to whom photos and particulars will bo posted.—Advt. , JTor Chronic Chest Complaints, I Woodj Great Pcpjornuat Cum, Is, (3d.* 1
