On the splendid wick»t provided tli's advantage enabled them to put up l->«> before they were t*jfc rid of—Perry 32, and Pritt 54, both showing sound and vigorous cricket Priti's 54 was un doubtedly the best innings of the tour ; he made his score without a chance. Abhburton replied with 47 and things looked ve>y bad indeed. However, following on, the complexion of things changed somewhat, for when time was called, our score stood at 139 for the loss of 8 wickets, Chapman 55 and A. Buchanan 39, making havoc with the loose . Timaru bowling. Thus a most enjoyable game concluded in favor of Timaru. l»uring the afternoon, a few visitors put in an appearance, and tea supplied by the ladies was much appreciated. A Buchanan 18, C. Chapman 14, and E. Buchanan 8 were the best batting averages of the tour. Messrs Pearpoin*; and Smith, of Geraldine, and Eaymond, of Timaru, are especially deserving of our thankn for their attention and kindness, as an assistance to cricket in Ashburton and South Canterbury the tour was eminently successful, and its beneficial effect will be felt in seasons to come.

HARVESTER TRIAL.

THK MERCER NO-CANVAS MACHINE.

' Last Thursday a public trial of the Mercer no-canvas reaper and binder wad given at Mr Hu^h Kennedy's farm, highs. The machine was a new one, and was quickly fitted on the field, and drawn by two horses, set to work in a crop of oats of vmed height and weight, some parts being little more than a foot high, and others six to seven feet high, while some were thickly and others very sparsely grown, and some clean and others badly broken and tangled by the , wind of the previous Monday. The J machine did good work, leaving a clean stubble, and packing and tying the sheaves well. The Mercer machine is v*ell known now, and it is not neces sary to describe its mechanism. Its distinguishing feature is that canvas is entirely dispensed with, the elevating being done by » series of forks attached to endless chains. The grain is not shaken in the least during elevation. The Mercer may not be the perfect harvester, but it marks a great advance in agricul tural mechanics and hs»s novae decided advantages over the canvas machines, so much so that it appears to be inevitable that the harvester of the future will bo without canvas. Mr Taylor, manager of the Ashburton branch of Messrs Reid and Gray, the agents in New Zealand for the Mercer harvester, conducted the trial. Most of the neighbouring farmers dropped in during the day to see the work, with which they expressed great satisfac tion.
