[REUTER’S TELEGRAMS COPYRIGHT. ] Napier Harbor Works. Melbourne, Yesterday.

Mr Gulcheth, of this city, whose plans lor the- harbor at, Napier have been selected by the judges in London, re ports as follows of hfs scheme:— It proposes that at first groins 750 ft long be: formed at the Bluff to prevent shingle accumulating when they are constructing, which will probably be within two years. Groins 2,000 ft long will be carried put from the north coast. Only a portion will be completed at first, blit extensions will be made as necessity within three years. The east mole will gradually advance as the satur deepens the channel. The mole will probably be 400 ft at first, but 800 ft are provided for if necessary; The channel will then be dredged, and it is expected that a depth of 20ft will be obtained within five years instead of 12ft as at present. New quays will shoal in the channel from the Iron Pot to the bridge, thus forming an island. The works will generally be of timber, With * rubble filling. The proposed scheme is estimated to cost L 250,000, but it is expected that not so much as that will be required, probably only Li 2 5,000.

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 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 Ist Award of Merit, Ashburton Exhibi tion, March, 1881 Ist Prize Medal, Napier Show, 1881 Ist Prize Medal, Invercargill Exhibition, November, 1881 Ist Prize, Launceston, Tasmania, 1882 Ist Prize for Lighfand Heavy, Dunedin, 1872 Ist Prize, Gore, 1882 Ist Prize Medal, Taieri Show, November, 1881 Irt Prize, Pa tea Show, December, 1881 Ist Prize, Riverton Show, December, 1881 Ist Prize, Oamaru 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 i Ist Prize Sonthbridge, 1882 | FIRST PRIZE, ASHBURTON, 1882. i The Principal Advantages op this t Harrow are as Follows: ( It is 25 per cent. Cheaper than any 1 other. 1 Because of its simplicity, it is more a durable. The flexible and spring-tooth working c of the Harrows produce a steady strain, e which prevents horses from having sore shoulders. v A twelve-foot Harrow can be taken to c pieces and put together again by any boy in five minutes’ time, ( Every tooth being a component part of j the Harrow, the extra labor and expense of tools, bolts, nuts, threads, shoulder pieces, framework, etc., is entirely done away with. j Each tooth acta independently of the others, and will do its work thoroughly over level, rough, knolly, or unevenly ploughed ground. If 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- i ment, or that can be taken to a black- J 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 ground, without turning over the turf. Because of the flexible and spring 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 it. It is a perfect Chain or Seed Harrow, when turned on its back, acting an inch or inch and a-half in the soil, leaving a smooth surface. 1132 VTORTH BRITISH AND MERCAN TILE INSURANCE COMPANY.
