AN ANNOUNCEMENT. vVe have to announce that the second series of 1916 "Studebaker" cars are now on their way to New Zealand, per s.s. Pakeha, from Montreal, due to arrive shortly. These oars come from the Canadian assembling .and finishing branoh, Walkerville, Ontario, and are 'remarkablo for their exceptionally fine finish, necessitated by the demands of the overseas Studebaker trade. Many valuable *" detail improvements ore incorporated in the second series models, one of the most noteworthy of these being tho provision of independent and separately adjustable front 'Beats of the "bucket" type, togethor with adjustable nedals. This refinement should especially appeal to the lady- driver or tho exceptionally tall or ' short man, whose comfort is not adequately provided for by the usual fixed dimensions in the front of the oar. Another important modification is the relegation of the petrol tank to the rear of the oar, and the provision of a very efficient vacuum feed to carburetter. There are many minor modifications and improvements, all designed to add to the comfort and convenience of both driver and passengers, while in appearance the car is handsomer than ever. The new Studebakers willbe on view at Studebaker Agencies shortly, and all interested in the latest developments in American automobile design are invited to inspect them.

On Monday evening an interesting and instructive lecture on Russia was delivered by Mr. J. H. Kirby in the Island Bay Methodist Schoolroom. There was a fairly large and appreciative audience. The lecturer traced the history of this remarkable people from their tribal days to the present. The Rev. E. Drake occupied the chair. At the close of the lecture Mr. Kirby was accorded a very hearty vote of thanks. Apparently, in the words of a para< graph which appeared yesterday morning, the Reservists under the Military Service Act living at Miramar have "a sense of duty done and peace of mind." On both Monday and Tuesday evenings members of the National Reserve were in attendance at the local Town Hall, and found on both occasions that .there was no call for thoir services—not one Reservist putting in' an appearance. Arrangements have been made for membors of the National Reserve t« attend at the Town Hall every ovening this week, and those who desire to take advantage'of their presence will receiv* every assistance. If an express train, moving at the rate of 45 miles an hour, were to stop instantly, it would give the oassengers a shock equal to that of falling from a height of 40ft. ; A jolly good touring companion is DINGO EUCALYPTUS EXTBACT-bae special virtues not possessed by many 60called Extracts. If you would know the real reason for the supremacy of tht DINGO EUCALYPTUS EXTRACT. Buy a bottlo; your Grocer eells it.—Advt,
