The meeting of the Ashburton Trotting Club was hbld to-doy oa the Tinwald racecourse, ins&ead of on the Club's track by the Ashburtoa saleyarda, the change of locality having been made in conse quence of the Ashburton Licensing Com mittee having decided to issue no condi tional licenses. A more suitable course for a meeting of the kind could scarcely be found, and with the perfect weather of the morning, which bade fair to hold throughout the day (and fulfilled its promise, too), and the large nnmher of eighty-one acceptances, the meeting was a great success, and in pleasing contrast to the last two, which were marred by deluges of rain, Mr Stone, of the Tin wald Hotel, supplied liquors, MrJewitt solid refreshment, and Messrs Maaon and Koberta worked their totaliaator. Tha track, although scarcely as firm, (on account of the wet of last week) dried considerably with the light nor'-west breeze of yesterday, and was by no means in bad order. Following are results up to time of our going to press :— Maided Handicap (saddle), of 16 soys. One mile and a half. 24 Mr P. Devane's br m Victoria 11., aged, 13sec bhnd scr (Compton) 1 45 Mr R.

The Convent.

The work of shifting the convent is progressing with rapid strides as wi 1 be seen by the fact, that between one o'clock and six o'clock yesterday after noon it was taken from the belt to Mr Hefford'b gate and by to-morrow morning ifc is intended to have crossed the railway line. This is due to a great extent to the sound and methodical manner in which the work is being done, and a half hour occupied in watching the modus operandi is very interesting and is well Bpent. On either side of the road are placed lengthways two rows of planks, and on these wooden rollers—about five feet long and six inches in diameter—are placed a few feet apart, and on these rollers the building rides, and as through its motion the rollers are displaced others ar« placed in front of the building and take their turn. There are 27 rollers ion each eide of the building. The (planks on one side of the road are really a movable tramway of heavy timber, ! raised to neutralise the sloping ground. A rough estimate of the weight of the build ing puts it at 100 tons. By to-night the convent will doubtless be very near its destination, but on its arrival at the rail way crossing it will have to wait not only until all the trains have passed through, bnt until the telegraph wires have finished their day's work—about two o'clock in the morning. The wires will be then disconnected from four of the telegraph posts and will thus fall to the ground.* Th«y will then be buried in the ground, until the convent has passed over.

New "Bikes."

Almost every year we see new de velopments and improvement upon itn provement ia cycling machines, and the lowering of th»3 records advances almost with equal pace, The recent annual shows in England have brought out improved machines and cycling requisites, and among the interesting features of the Paris Cycle Exhibition are mentioned—the Valere bicycle, in which hand levers are made to aid the work of the legs, increasing the speed of the ordinary road machine from about five yards per revolution of the pedal to about eight yards; the Quadruplet bicycle, about three yards long, which also makes eight yards at a revolution of the pedal, and with which the mile and half mile records have been lowered by a few seconds in England ; the Meyan tricycle, designed for a theatre Stage, which advances only six inches at a turn of the pedal; the Veloroom,' or parlour cycle, a stationary apparatus , on which a person too obese to ride may get the exercise of riding.

THE ASfiBDKTOB GtABDIAN: WEbttESDAI JUNE 13, 1894.



The paintings by colonial artists to be offered by Messrs Friedlander Bros, at the Orange Hall, on Saturday, are being hung to-day, and will be on view to-morrow and Friday. At the Supreme Court, Timaru, to-day, the rape case concluded with a verdict of acquittal. Decree nisi was granted in Orton v Orton, husband's petition for divorce on grounds of adultery. The parties were married in 1891, and quarrelled and separated soon after. A special * Gazette,' of sixty-one pages, has been issued. It contains the new rules for Magistrates' Courts. Under last year's Act all former rules are revoked, and the new code comes into force on July 1. Stipen diaty Magistrates of all the Courts iv the principal towns are given both ordinary and extended jurisdiction, and twelve others, in cluding the junior Magistrates at Auckland, Nelson, and Christchurch, are appointed to exercise ordinary jurisdiction only. At the Christchurch Police Court yester | day Henry Rose (18) was charged with having at Ashburton on May 25 stolen a watch and chain value 20s, and 17s 6d in silver, belonging to James Abercrombie. Accused pleaded guilty. Sergeant-Major Mason said that the prosecutor stayed at a boarding-house at Ashburton. The prisoner stayed at the same place for one night, and when he left took the prosecutor's watch and money. The watch and chain had been recovered. Accused had nothing to say in answer to the charge, and was sent to gaol for one month. Rudyard Kipling speaks thus of the British Empire:—" Worth study ! I was almost going to say it is the only thing worth study. At any rate, the more I see of this planet the more I know the bigness -no, not the bigness, the greatness—of England. Why, don't know how great you are. You don't discover that in Fleet street and Piccadilly. But go abroad, get outside Britain, and then yon begin to realise its ■ size. The other peoples feel it keenly enough. The great lazy giant has only to torn in his sleep, and he sets their nerves all a-quiver to know what he is doing. He turns round again and drops off with a snore; but he has broken their rest for the night. That is one of the things you find when you post yourself just on the other side of the rim of the Empire, as I have done."
