A THOROUGHBRED OF MOTORDOM JUST ARRIVED AT CHRISTCHURCII. At this season of the year the young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of. gee-gees, and sporting similes come readily to tho pen when one comes to describe tho 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 a'pothcosis of the motor engineer's art, or because tho celebrated Antwerp firm turns out tho best Silent Knight engines in the world, but rather because the name "Minerva' 'oil a car denotes tho limit of attainable perfection in materials, mechanism, finish, and design. Tho thrce-seater cream-coloured 14.25 h.p. Minerva which is at present awaiting a purchaser in tho garage of Adams, Ltd., makes a distinct apjwal both to the nesHietic and engineering faculties of the experienced motorist. At a time when tho city is crowded with American, cars, built primarily for cheapness, a car such as this latest of the Minervas comes refreshingly to the eye. In every detail it ovidencos tlie cyo of tho artist and tho brain of tho master mechanician. Tlio section wind-screen, tho dectrie lighting installation, tlu low. luxurious seats, the beauty of the upholstery, tho iino flowing Imips of the body—trim as a yacht from stem to stern, without corners, gables or projections—all these are but a titho of the refinements and excellences of this thoroughbred among modern cars. And tho price ? The price is fixed on an honest biisis. Tho London price of the chassis is j1340, of the body and extras £S7 Is., and of tlio. C.A.V. lighting set iMO 12s. Bd. To thcie charges nro added the cost of importation only. Tho car is one to bo proud of, and Adams, Limited, invite correspondence from anyono who is interested in motors, to whom photos, and particulars will bo posted.—Advt.

Don't despond. Never mind how many, tilings you liavo tried to euro that stubborn coufjh of yours with. Ono thins will certainly rid you of it without delay —"NAZOL." Sold everywhere, is. Od.— Advt.
