We notice that Mr. Sam Stevenson is extending the spirit of enterprise for which he is noted, and has erected an addition to his livery stables, in the shape of a saddlery and harness department.

The Auckland Free Lance says : —“ Mr. S. M. Wilson, the enterprising proprietor of the Albion Club Hotel, Gisborne, has been in Auckland executing a deed of conveyance. He has taken delivery of a large and handsome drag, built for him by Mr. Alex. Mackie, the eminent coachbuilder, of Durham-street. The drag is a perfect model of its class, light, substantial, and commodious. It is capable of carrying 16 people of 16 stun each. Teams of two, three, four, five, six, or eight horses can be harnessed to the conveyance, and passengers tooled between the wharf and the Club Hotel at express speed.”
