"BEAUTIFUL MELBOURNE" MOTOR CARS have decided to make Extended Afternoon Tours from the 1st of November till the 3oth of April, and to advance the fare from 2,6 to but are making an allowance for family parties of fid. on each fare. We beg to thank our numerous patrons for the liberal patronage extended to us in the past, and hope the new trips now introduced will meet with the success they merit. We can ask no more. All-day Runs are also now introduced, which will enable those who desire to spend a day in the Country the opportunity to do no at a moderate cost. The Evening Run to Hampton, Brighton, hc., will prove a boon to those who wish to enjoy an evening run around the beach in comfort.





Leave St. Paul's Cathedral's corner at 2-30 p.m. and run via Bridge Road across the River Yarra at Hawthorn Bridge,then on through Kew and by White Horse Road through Box Hill to Blackburn, where the famous Doncaster orchards may be seen. Have you ever seen the Home provided for deaf mutes ? Well, here it is, just ahead of us. Now we are going to stop for an hour and have a look round. No one will find the time hang heavy here. Visitors may stroll round the beautiful grounds and admire the magnificent flowers growing in great profusion, but are requested not to touch the blooms. Ample time is allowed for a stroll down to the lake, and afternoon tea and refreshments may be obtained at the Institution. From Blackburn, a run is made via East Doncaster to Doncaster, with splendidly kept orchards on either hand for the whole distance, and along this portion of the trip, magnificent and expansive panoramic views am obtained. Doncaster is reached about 5p.m. and the car is headed for home, travelling via Kew and through Studley Park to the Yarra, thence to the starting point.
