At the luncheon on the Adelaide Cup day hie Excellency Sir William Robinson took the opportunity of replying to those persons wh'' cavil at him for according hia patronage to the turf. Sir William said — “ He was aware, as regards racing, that many gdPd people objected to it on prin ciple, many anonymous representations have been made to him urging him to take no part in racing because of the bad in fluence which surrounded it. It was a grief.to him at any time to wound the susceptibilities of conscientious people, whatever their views might be ; but this was just one of those questions in regard to which persons in his position must be guided by their own opinions of what was right I end be felt that the more racing was conducted by people of probity and position the more likely it was to be evil influences which ad mittralysurrounded it, and on this ac count he, fejt. it his duty, inasmuch as facing toouldexist, whether he encouraged it or not, to do what he could, by his in- to see that it was maintained on that footing which.; would justify right ninded people and well-wishers of the community in taking part in it.”

ROBT. JOHNSTONE, F. Ferriman. F. Ferriman AS FOR SALE HARROWS BY HAXTON & BEATTIE, Patentees and Sole Makers of the Celebrated SPRING TOOTH FLEXIBLE HARROWS. 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 Christchurcti 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 Awarl 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 Light and Heavy, Dunedin, 1872 Ist Prize, Gore, 1882 Ist Prize Medal, Taieri Show, November, 1881 Ist Prize, Patea Show, December, 1881 Ist Prize, Riverton Showj 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 Ist Prize Sonthbridge, 1882 FIRST PRIZE, ASHBURTON, 1882. The Principal Advantages of this Haekow ake 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 entirely done away with. Each tooth acta independently of the others, and will do its work thoroughly over level, rough, knolly, 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 ;; bag ready for ship ment, or that can t ta! e i to a black smith’s and sharpened, at half the cost of any other. it is the o.'ly Harrow in the world that will do its woC: thorough and well in harrowing crosswise over new ploughed ground, without turning over the turf. ° Because of the flexible and spripg 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 AT ORTH BRITISH AND MERCAN IV ' TILE INSURANCE COMPANY.
