UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIAL.

Ashburton, September 21, 1898 To Messrs Milner and Thompson, Christchutch. -Dear Sirs.-Your favor of the 20th inst. duly to hand, and contents noted. This is the sixth " Haake " piano the writer has been party to the purchase of through your local agent, Mr H. M. Jones-one fur self, three for private friends, one for the Wesleyan fchi;ol, and one for the Hampßtead school, aud although you have naver allowed my commission (neither do I a.k il) 1 have much vleaeure m statine that the «* Heake' pia. o you sold me iv January, 1892, has given entire satisfaction ; itß tone, etc , is as good nowta when new. I have evt ry reason to believe that the other five pianos have given equal satisfaction. Ia reference to the O. niodel lum n- w orde.ioj! for my frunn, I might say that another firm off-red him a great cotcesMon m price, bub bis mu&nal friends and the writer having more con fidence iv the "Haake" instruments, he has decided m favor rf the more popu'ar piano, because those referred to have proved to be thoroughly reliable.— Yours truly, 9 260 Henry G. Berryman.

Obitoary.— The death is announced of the Rev. George Foster, firßt resident Anglican minister at Timaru He was curate and then inoumbent of St. Mary's from 1860 to 1875. Sinoe the latter date he haß been farming. Suffocated m a Mine.— An Auckland telegram of this « morning states that a fire broke out m the Jubilee mine, Waitekaun, about ten o'clock last evening. A dense smoke is issuing from the mine, and two men are supposed to have been suffocated. Sale of Stallions akd STOCK.--By a mutual arrangement both Messrs D. Thomas and R. Friedtander occupied the rostrum m the Arcade to-day, for the purpose of offering the horses which have been adver tised m our columns dvring the past week. There was a very large attendance of the publio, but whether many of them were buyers remains to be seen. The reports will appear m oar next issue. The Police Commission's Report.— This much talked of State " paper " has come to hand, and iB certain'y a curiosity m its way, ■ince it ia far and away the largest volume of tbe sort that we have received from the Government printer. It contains 1192 pages of pretty closely printed matter, no big maps or illustrations, and tho estimated cost of printing 1700 copies is stated to be £814. Surely some results should be expected from an investigation of which the mere printing coat nearly £1000. Masonic— The annual installation of officers of the Kilwinning Royal Arch Chapter, Ashburton, took place on Friday evening. There was a small attendance of companions, owing m a measure to the rough night. The following offioerß were elected : — Comp. W. Sparrow, Z. ; Comp. T. E. Clayton, H. ; Comp. W. Mcßae, J. ; Comp. T. M. Jones, S E. ; Comp. G. Morrison, N. ; Comp. A. McDonald, lot soj ; Comp. Rumaey, 2nd soj ; Comp. H W Robinson. 3rd Boj ; Comp. T X Clayton, Treasurer ; Comp. W. Patterson, jinitor. The ceremony was performed by P.Z.'a J. Scaly, J. D. Nelson, and E. J. Paul. A pleasant half hour was spent after labor. The usual loyal toasts were honored. The Show.— For many years we have been rushed with orders prior to the shows and holidays, and late customers have been inevitably disappointed. We therefore respectfully invite all who will require new suits, &c, for the approaching tummer to CALL EARLY. We have just opened out our new seaeon's goods, and as we anticipate a further increase of business, our stock of new, fashionable, and; durable suitings, &c, is probably the largest ever shown m Ashbur ton, comprising a 1 the latest novelties, and a Bpecial line of Fox's celebrated Cheviot, serges, which we are making to measure m the newest styles at three guineas per suit ; also trousers to measure m a big assortment of Scotch, English, and Colonial tweeda and worsteds for 15s 6d per pair (usual prices 22s 6d to 25^) » and m aalJ dle tweeds : Suits £3 10a and trousers to measure 17s sd.
