ship’s he&d canted towards the Bluff in consequence of the steering gear not act ing promptly. She grazed sharply on a point opposite the beacon. Capt. Ander son at once called all hands on deck and had the boats cleared away. The wells were then sounded, but no water was found; .meantime she was headed into Elmslie’s Bay, with the intention to beach her if necessary, and she was kept in that position for half an hour. At the end of that time, as no water was reported in the well, the vessel left for Picton and thence to Wellington. As the patent slip is en gaged, the steamer will go on to Lyttel ton.

They combine Lightness of Draught, Practicability, and Cheapness, and meet the approval of all who have examined them. Over 500 at work in New Zealand since 1880. This Patent Harrow has been awarded First Prize at the recent Exhibition held in Christchurch New Zealand, May, 1882, and the following prizes were also gained 1 after competitions, trials, and testings:— Ist Prize Medal at Taieri Agricultural Show, 1880 Ist Prize at the Mataura Show, Gore, 1880 Ist Prize at the Invercargill Show, 1880 1 Ist Awari of Merit, Ashburton Exhibi tion, March, 1881 Ist Prize Medal, Napier Show, 1881 Ist Prize Medal, Invercar. ill Exhibition, November, 1881 Ist Prize, Launceston, Tasmania, 1882 Ist Prize for Light and Heavy, Dunedin, 1872 Ist Prize, Gore, 1882 Ist Prize Medal, Taieri Show, November, 1881 Ift Prize, Patea Show, December, 1881 Ist Prize, Riverton Show, December, 1881 Ist Prize, Oatnaru Show, December, 1881 Ist Award of Merit, Dunedin Exhibition, 1881 Ist Prize, Dunedin Show, December, 1881 Ist Prize, Christchurch Exhibition, May, 1882 Ist Prize, Invercargill, December, 1882 Ist Prize Sonthbridge, 1882 FIRST PRIZE, ASHBURTON, 1882. The Principal Advantages of this Harrow abb as Follows: It is 25 per cent. Cheaper than any other. Because of its simplicity, it is more durable. The flexible and spring-tooth working of the Harrows produce a steady strain, which prevents horses from having sore shoulders. A twelve-foot Harrow can be taken to pieces and put together again by any boy in five minutes’ time. Every tooth being a component part of the Harrow, the extra labor and expense of tools, bolts, nuts, threads, shoulder pieces, framework, etc., is entire'y done away with. Each tooth acts independently of the others, and will do its work thoroughly over level, rough, l.i.nlly, or unevenly ploughed ground. It is the only Harrow in the world that can be taken to pieces in ten minutes, and securely packed in a bag ready for ship ment, or that can be taken to a black smith’s and sharpened, at half the cost of any other. It is the only Harrow in the world that will do its work thorough and well in harrowing crosswise over new ploughed i ground, with-.ut turning overturn turf. Because of the flexible and spring- I tooth movement of the Harrow it is im possible for any of its teeth catching [ against roots or rocks, thereby making it much easier for the team that is drawing j it. It is a perfect len'i or Seed Harrow, j when turned on its i.ie':;, cting an inch or inch and a-half in the soil, leaving a 3 smooth surface. 1132 f 1 ]\7 ORTH BRITISH AND MERCAN -1 TILE INSURANCE COMPANY. ® Established 1809. , Subscribed Capital Fire Fund j Life Fund f Premiums for 1880 £2,000,000 1,201.243 3,380,107 951,173 Ashburton Agency; P.
