east street, ashburton UNDER THE MANAGEMENT~OF MR ifisDREW BLACK. Bronze Medalist for Watchmaking, London, 1887. Certificated from the City and Guilds of London Institute. ' Certificated from the British Horological Institute, London. First Award of Merit as a Workman frcm the People's Palace Exhibition, Ltado I, MR ANDREW BLACK was a student at the British Horological Institute and passed through all the different; Branches, making two watches, one a key winder and one keyless; he is therefore thoroughly competent to repair properly any watches that may be entrusted to him. He has noticed, while m the colony, that watches are very often entirely spoiled through being entrusted for repair to men who lack the necessary training. No one but a practical man can understand how to repair a watch properly, and as there is no royal road to watchmaking, good teaching and years of practice are necessary before a man can (with truth) call himself a watchmaker. Anyone possessing a valuable watch cannot therefore be too careful to keep it out of the hands of un trained men. All work will now be done personally by MR BLACK.

The rate ot freight on wool per steamer to London has been reduced by one-eighth of a penny per pound. It has been noticed by a London financial iournal, as one of the causes of the failures of so many Australian banks and loan companies that many of them hold such vast quantities of land that when a pinch comes they are vinable to realise, and are compelled to stop payment. In New South Wales twelve banks and financial syndicates own about 45,000,000 acres of land, one institution alone owning 8,500,000 acres. The Palmerston and Taieri football clubs were to have met on the Queen's Birthday, but at the eleventh hour the Palmerston Club were compelled to cry the fixture off. Their default is thus explained m a letter , sent by their secretary to the Taieri Foot- ! ball Club: "We had a team picked and everything arranged for the match, but three or four of our best men (including the captain) joined the Salvation Army the other night, and on that account declined to play for us, and we cannot supply their P The Onslow Biscuit.
