MR 3TLATMAN. Mr Flatman possesses a name which admirably sums him up from an intel lectual point of view. iJis oratory is as flat as the proverbial ditch water, and oiie wonders what sort of men and women are they who, m Pareora constituency (the neighborhood of Timaru) eltcted him as their spokesman m what- Sir George (*rey was wont to grandiloquently entitle the " Council Chamber of the Nation. Mr Flatman is an amiable individual, no doubt, bu f he is political mediocrity per sonified. On a Road Board, may b?, or a Hospital Board—his aspect is somewhat funereal—he might be at home, but m the House he is "flat," very, very flat. However, he votes consistently and per sisrently on the Government side, and the Ministers love "flats." Their majo rity is mainly composed of—let us pass on!

MB MCLACHLAN. "Gotcheraircut?" is, I hear, the fami liar, not to sty rude, exclamation of the small boya who occasionally hover round the House, when their juvenile optics rest, for a moment on the chosen of Ash burton- Mr McLachlan is a regular Esau m the way of hair. If politics fail him, and he loses his £240 a year, the member for Ashburton has no need to fear for a living, for I'll wamnt there are ' *»« Vigor" manufacturers who would al ways assure him a modest competence as a walking advertisement, more or less genuine, of their wares. Beyond hia hair, which is perfectly Papuan like m quantity, and a deep guttural, wild '•Hielandman 5' kind of voice, there is nothing very noticeable about *' Ash burtdn." Ashburton, as a town, is a flab flabby port of place, which only awakens to any apparent similarity to "life" on the occasion of a sheep sale, and pa such an occasion I can easily imagine Mr McLachlan to be m his glory, seated on a fence m the local "yards " and discassing the relative merits or defects of Brown's wethers or Robertson's ewes. Whether the House may yet find that McLachlan ia something more than a purely local "poleteecian," with a superabundance of hirsute adornment, I can't say. So far, at least, Mr McLachlan has not shown signs of developing into a Yogel, an, Atkinson, or even—the drop is great— into a McKeuzie! But time and the barber can work wonders. When che McLwhlan gets his hair cut, who knows what marvellous evolution may take place ?

Ariel Bicycle Club.

The second annual meeting of the Ariel Bicycle Club was held m the Arcade rooms last evening. There were about thirty members present, and Mr David Zander occupied the chair. ANNUAL REPORT ANX> BALANCE SHEET. The chairman read the annual report and balance sheet, which were adopted. The reporE dealt with the financial posi tion of the Club, reviewed with much pride the successful season's racing—one race meeting m the Domain and four road races and thanked the Caledonian and the Friendly Societies for the liberal manner m which they ha** placed events on their programme, m which the mem bers of the Club were allowed to compete. The Club had also been represented at the Caledonian Society's and the North Otago Cycling Club's meetings atOaraaru. The report referred to the enthusiasm with which touring had been engaged m by the members, noted with pleasure the increased membership (84 on ths roll), recorded thanks to donors of specnl prizes, and to others win had aided the muse of cycling, and closed with the ex pressinn" of a hope that the coming year would be even more prosperous than the The chairman, m moving the adoption of the report, stated that he was quite sure, if the Club could secure a public holiday on which to hold its race meet ings, Ifc would very soon occupy the posi tion of one of the strongest Cycling Clubs m New Z aland. NEW MEMBERS. Father O'Doanell, and Messrs R. Wilson, Edge, and G. Neill were elected members. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. Iho election of officers resulted aa follows:-Patron Mr J. 0. N.

The New Zealand Cyclists' unton wrote asking if—in the event of Messrs L B. Sharp and Albert Turner, of Australia, visiting New Zealand during the coming season-the Ariel Club would pay the expenses of these rideru while m Ashburton, and place before them a sum ciently attractive programme. It was decided to reply that m the case of the club being able to hold a race meeting on a public holiday it would accede to the proposal. RAXAIA CYCLISTS.

UNLIKE the mangold, this crop will not stand much forcing. When over* i fed, the roots are spongy and don't keep well. They have also a tendency to dry rot. This is particularly the case when forced to a great degree. Excessive forcing increases the bulk, but the increase is entirely m water, so that the value of the turnip crop is not increased, but lessened. — Gouldhxg. JUST enough Nitrogen should be given to give the Turnip a quick start through the " fly;" and for this purpose I can recommend my Bone Dust.
