THIS Company lias been formed for tl:e purpose of acquiring the sole patent rights for New Zealand of the "Collier Two-speed Gear" for Cycles, and to import or manufacture Cycles fitted with the gear, It is generally admitted by riders of the ordinary machine that its greatest defect, as a means of lacamolion, is the difficulty of mounting hills and riding against the wind, or on bail roads. This is caused by the single gearing, The object of a two speed gear is to lessen the amonut of labour necessary to propel the cycle up bills and ajainst head winds, or on bail roads, a.iil at the samo time to allow a higher speed than usual to be atturned qu level roads, Hill-climbing robs oycling o' much of its pleasure, arid it is tu remove this barrier tlia'. the " Collier TwoSpeed Gear" lias been designed. It is simple in construction, strong, and is built as part ui the machine. In uso, all that is necessary is to raise a knob, titled at the top of the cycling frame, atd the gciritig is changed while riding at any speed. Thus, if a bill is to be climbed, the knob is lowered, and immediately the maohine beconws much easier ti propel. On reaohing the summit, by raisiug tiio knob the higher gear comes into play, and increased sliced is obtaiucd, Tho hard work hitherto necessary to propel a high-geared machine on give and take roads has debarred many people from indulging in the pleasure of cycling, aud it is confidently anticipated that thf" Two-Speed Gear '• will add greatly to the popularity ol the sport. Tho i( Collier Gear" is absolutely new as a simple mechanical motion, and in this lies one great soQiirlty to investors. It has been put to every pracli cal tost, and the hiahoa testimonials have been received from tho leading English and Colonial i idera and engineers, Orders for the "Collier Two-Speed" have already bee.i received from tho leading cycle-makers in Christchurcb, Auckland, Dunedin, Napier, A'c,, anil it lias created the greatest interest amongst cyclists throughout tlio Colo:iy. The immense strides cycling is making throughout the world, not only as a sport, but as a ii:o..ns o! locomotion in the business affairs of life, must be apparent to' evc.'y observer. In Now !feal«ndit i< in its infancy, and the favourable climate (making it practical to cycle almost the whole year round) points to its being much more universally used than in less {avowed countries.

It is estimated by experts that there wero 2500 b : cycles co'd last year ill Now Zealand, and in a very ,'ow years it would not be (urprising to sco these figures raised to 5000. Considering the immcM advantages ot the "CollierTwo-Speed Gear" over thosingle speed cyclo, it is o Mated that at least GOO machines would ho sold the first full season, and it is confidently expected that two-thirdaor the cycles purchased throughout tho Colony, will bo fitted with thin gear, A first-clasi> cycle, fitted with the Collier Two-Spud Hear, sells tor £22 )os, and this at a net profit of £3 8s per cycle, provides tor a dividend of 25 per cent., and loaves a irnlus af £BOO. litis estimate docs Dot include any profit by way ot interest on deterred payment business, or lor sales o' the gear toother makers, which, in itselshould represcni it substactial profit, and (ho Directors have every reason to beliovo that this estimate will be wmjjderablj exceeded, They see in this simple invention as great a rcvolut'on in cycling, as was o«used by the adveut of the now univorfallj adopted Pneumatic Tyre, the company owning which paid, iu W3, a dividend of 200 per cent., an 1 placed £IOO,OOO to tho reserve fund, It is intended to establish the h.-ad oftioo ot tho Company in Wellington, as being tho most central point to work the Co'ony from. No delay will tftko placo in the Company doing business, as the gears are being made j in largo quantities in England. The ' • Collier Two-Speed Gear" Company, Manchester, ate prepared to sapply them immediately. The purchase price fixed by tho Vendor is £550 cash, £SOO in 12 months, 1000 fully paid-up shares, and a royalty of 10s per gear; but tho vendfr is willing to forego reQeiji of any royalty on the first COO (jeara. Tho Vendor has madg pro.visipji for the payment ot all espouses ot forming and floating the Company up to the first allotment of shares." Where no allotment is made application motey will be returned in tall, nntf where tho number cf shares allotted is less than the number amtl|cd,'(or! the sttrpbm will bo appropriated on aecfiunl the allotmenlj money. 'Any will be ■ turned to tho ajijiljoanti S. hmm„ tht propuim may leokamd.
