Going Ahead.
The alterations and additions to Keegan and Casimir's coach building factory are approaching completion, and are much needed for the increasing business of the firm. The work is of the very best, and the material, as good as money can buy. The firm has just turned out a most elegant and substantial three-quarter, shaft sulky, to the order of Mr D'Arcy Lowe. The upholstering in leatherette, the varnishing and painting, are all of the highest class, and no better vehicle could be built1

A First-Class Prize.
The thanks of the Mudgee Agricultural Society are due to Messrs. Keegan and Casimir, the well known coachbuilders, of Perry street, for their handsome offer to the Society at last Saturday's meeting. This firm has donated a prize of a first-class pony sulky, valued at £18, as a prize at next year's show for the guessing competition. A vote of thanks was passed to the donors. If properly worked up, with such a tip-top prize to be won, fully £100 could be realised by the Society. This only means 2000 guesses. A special committee should be formed to look after this competition, and then it will most certainly be a success2

Keegan and Casimir's Guessing Competition.
The "guessing competition," advertised by Keegan and Casimir, coach-builders, of Perry-street, has been closed. Many of the public failed to see the joke, and the firm has been fairly inundated with letters naming the missing word, but unfortunately they all failed to send the entrance fee of £18. Competitors should read closely the advertisement, which appears for the last time in this issue4

Messrs. Keegan and Casimir's Factory.
Messrs. Keegan and Casimir report excellent business at their Perry-street coach factory. There is a good deal of new work in hand, and the repair branches are kept very busy. Last week, Mr. M. Shannon, of Biamble station, took away a very fine buggy built to his order with silky oak panelling, and best leather trimmings. It is a splendid vehicle, well calculated to uphold the firm's reputation6

Business Good.
Businessmen in Mudgee are certainly beginning to feel the benefits of the improved weather conditions. Messrs. Keegan and Casimir, coach builders, of Perry-street, state that this is the busiest winter they had since the business was established. Among vehicles being built is a lady's drop front phaeton of special design, to the order of Mr. J. R. Atkinson, and a four-wheeled van for Mr. J. Curran, cordial manufacturer, Mud gee. This establishment has a great name for sulkies, and several are being built. There is one ready for Mr. James Nott, of the Talbragar, one for Mr. Walsh, of Budgee, and another for Miss Harris, of Budgee. Mr. Keegan recently took a trip to Sydney to make a selection of a big lot of material, and he brought back with him a one man trotting sulky of excellent design, which is likely to take on here. The repair branches of the shop are kept fully employed, and in fact business hums7
