The party, after the Beafton races, left for Christchurch in Mr McAlpine’s Studebaker car, and after a short stay there left on their return, and, in order to get back to the Coast in good time, left Christchurch at the time when the milk merchants were dooing their rounds. Just as they were crossing the Riccarton railway crossing, an engine, with a large number of trucks attached, appeared out of the morning haze, and, before anything could be done, had smashed into the rear of the car. tearing two wheels off and completely reversing it. The occupants of the car had a miraculous escape, especially Mr Perotti, who was sitting in the rear seat. The car was brought to a repair shop, and three thankful travellers made the return journey by the express.

The weekly stock sale at Addington on Wednesday was generally satisfactory from the point of view of vendors. Fat sheep, fat cattle, and fat lambs all improved in price, and there was also an improvement in the values of store lambs. The entry of fat sheep was short, there being barely sufficient to meet the requirements of butchers. Values improved by Is Cd to 2s a bead on late rates, and generally prices were too high for exporters to buy to any extent. Good sorts of fat cattle were better thaii they were last week by 20s a bead, and, in the case of fat lambs, the rise averaged from Is to Is 6d a head in advance of fast week’s values. Forward store cattle wore in demand, and dairy cattle were also inquired for. Yealors, which were ill short supply, made bettor prices than they did last week. Haveners, especially the heavier sorts, sold cheaply, and porkers, while they opened well, declined in price in the later stages of the sale. Store pigs made late rates.
