Mt. A. H. Jl'Lean, of the Tourist Motor Coy., Ltd., of Hastings, now-in America, cables that he can secure three English "Commer" Motor lorry Chasses, viz., one 51, one 44, and one 3£ tons; and as it is practically impossible to secure good reliable lorries from England on acoount of the war, merchants, carriers, and contractors have now the exceptional opportunity- of securing one of these by getting in touch with us at once. The s.s. Niagara leaves America on September 28tli, and if wo receive'an order by about 22nd, the lorry could be shipped by this 6tirmer and would arrive in Auckland about Ootober 18th, thus being in plenty of time for the coming wool season. Messrs. vulliams and Creagh, the well-known slipping agents at Napier, are at I resent nsing two "Commer" 35-ton lorries, m<l havo now ordered another "Conimsr, to arrive ex the s.s. Niagara. The Ic wrist i Motor Co., Ltd., of Hastings, will be pleased to furnish further particulars on application.—Advt. .

THE B.S.A.—FAVOURITE WITH MILITARY DISPATCH ■ EIDERS—AND WHY. ... It has sometimes been ssid, with much truth, that the business test is the best test of any motor. War is tho grimmest business of mankind, rnd tho military motor-cyclist stakes his life, very often, upon the reliability of his mount. Hera is what Sergeant R. E. Schofield, R.E., 6enior instructor of the Motor-cycle Section at Aldershot, has to 6ay:— Nearly over? dispatch rider that has gone to .the front has passed through my hands,', and I isn therefore in a position to'judge how the different makes of machine are in favour. Tho B.S:A. is by far away the favourite, and it has yet to happen that a B.S'.A. has failed to act up to its well-earned repute. ... I may 6tate that 50 per cent, of the machines here are B.S.A.'s." A motor-cyclist with tho Sec ond Cavalry Division, British Expedition, ary Force, writes in a private letter: "The roads arc hellish. ... My H.b.A. is .tho goods. I never have to touch it.. They ore tho bikes, my boy. They knock tha __ and any other make you like to men. tion into a cocked hat." There are plenty of other letters from tho front, all to the snmo effect. We nro landing 20 of the latest model B.S.A.'s ex s.s. Marlborough this week, and caa give immediate de. livery. They are ideal machines fo; either solo or , side-car service, and theif reliability is fatuous. Tho h.p. is 4}, ant the throe-speed countershaft gear is f<ol< proof and wonderfully efficient.
