, [Bt Glbncob.] Mr. H. M'Mnnaway, of Bill, Hamurana, and Co., was in town yesterday on a flying visit. He returns to Hunterville by the Main Trunk express to-dny. Word-comes from Invercargill that Jan has contracted a very bad attack of strangles and was in. rather a bad way last week. '' ■ Guiding Way picked up a nail at Feilding recently,- and. his;-foot swelled up a lot. His owner intended to race him at Ellerslie along; with Ngatimaru, but tho trip has now-been, cancelled. Judging by her splendid showing in both her races at Bulls it-appears as if Rill u now baok to her yery best form. Her

win in the Welter on. Thursday was onlj achieved after on extra fin© effort, tho finality of which can bo judged when it is pointed out that she carried 9st. 81b., got badly chopped once, and then cut out tho'ssven furlongs in lmin.' 28 l-sseo. A prominent feature of the Rangitikei meeting was the fine horsemanship shown by A. Oliver, who rode four winners. One prominent sportsman who .was present at tho meeting characterised Oliver's finishing run on Bill in the Welter on Thursday as equal to the late "Wally" Clifford in his best days. Some of tho Auckland riders who. had mounts at the Bulls me&ling are responsiblo for tho statement that Waimangu lias gone sore, and unless rain comes (shortly, there is little chance of the black horse being teen at his best on Boxing Day. C. Pritchard has received a letter from the Marlborough Racing Club asking him to convey to Mrs. M'lntosh the club's sympathy with her in her recent bereavement whereby she lost her ton Harry, who was killed while riding at the Riverlands meeting last month. J. Hennah leaves for Hastings this morning and will at onoe commence training operations on Julian. As, was anticipated sometime ago E. J, Mason has abandoned his trip to Ellerslie with Cherubini and Canute. H. Cutis, with the Chokebore team, arrived from Riccarton on Wednesday morning, and went on to Auckland that night. Gipsy Belle, in charge of H. Telford, will ho railed to Auckland on Wednesday next Tho Yaldhurst team, in charge of R. O'Donnell and comprising five horses, go north at the 6ame time. Manawakoha. has left R. Brough's stables at Hawera, and is now trained privately. The hurdle horse Gaelio is shortly to be shipped to Sydney. • Royal Marine' is to bo sent to the West Coast for the Xmas meetings, and will !>"> shipped by the Mapourika on Tuesday next. Weights for the first day's events.at the Wairarapa Racing Club's meeting are due on Monday. Nominations for the Wellington Racing Club's summer meeting are due on Friday next. ■ Acceptances for the first day's events at the Manawatu meeting close on Tuesday. The Auckland Cup candidate Royal Soult has arrived at Ellerslie. The Coromandel horse has a lot of frientb for the big handicap. ■ _ The Kegel gelding Hcanga, after spellins: for some time, has resumed work at Ellerslie under the charge of C. Coleman. Trireme, Quarantine, Countermine, Glenfinnaii, and Scottish Star, who were engaged in different events on the first day's card of the Dunedin summer meeting, have been allowed to drop oat of their races, and this no doubt means that Sir George Clifford's stable will not be represented at the fixture. Acceptances for th* Taratahi-Carfertas Racing Club's meeting close on Eriday next. A cable message received in Palmerston North last week stated that Mr. T. Wilson's Powder Foi (Menschikoff—Jioella) had won a race in Melbourne. Detaili by the mail show that' the horse wa3 favourite, and defeated a bij field in the December Parse at Moonee V alley. Backers were unable to cash their tickets for some little time after the race. M. Fraser, the rider of the winner, was so exhausted that he fell off after passing the winning-post, and in doiar so lose both his irons. These, together with the horse, were soon recovered by the clerk of the course, and Prase- remounted and returned to the weighing enclosure. Meanwhile the incident caused a bit of a stir in the ring, but the "all right" signal was eventually given. Owners are reminded that acceptances for the first day's events at the ilarton Jockey Club's meeting close on Friday. Tho" Melbourne stipendiary stewards have .been directed to report on race meetings on the evening of the day of which they occur, when, possible. This is as it •should be (says an exchange), as then the stewards will be giving their own impressions of the racing, and will escape any suspicion of being influenced by newspaper or other ticularising any case, it is not too much to' say that some racing inquiries have been entered upon at a rather late date, not so much because of what stewards have seen .themselves,-but because-it-has-been ' impressed #upon them that they missed something alleged to have been noticed by many other" onlookers: The attendance at recent meetings point to a continued growth in popularity of "unregistered'' racing in Sydney, and it is ' not surprising people interested in proprietary "registered" clubs arc becoming somewhat anxious. The "pony" olubs, as a result of their.respective courses being within easy tram-ride of the city, have a decided pull oyer the "horse' olubs, and even the bait of seven-event programmes will. help the latter but little when their meetings clash with those of the former. .It is not so many years ago that the idea of a "pony" meeting proving as attractive as a'horse" meeting was treated aa an excellent joke, but now each of the former is run to a good profit on the occasiorf of a clash, notwithstanding that it is unusual for less than -ESCO to be given for an afternoon's racing. Following the usual practice in the Central Mission, the Christmas season will be celebrated by a gift service to-morrow eveiiifigln the New Theatre.' Baskets will be placed at the entrance door, and opportunity will thus -be given for gifts in kind to be given for Sister Mildred s Christmas work. Attendants are reminded that all gifts, provisions, grooeries, etc., aa well' aa cash offerings, will be used to brighten the Christmas of many whose homes have little of Christmas sunshine. The Rev. E. 0. Blamires .will oonduot this sunshine service, and will be assisted by the Central Mission Band, and Mr. T.' U Newton as soloist. The .publio are invited to avail themselves of the benefits of the. scheme and forward the movement for a pure milk supply by insisting that milk supplied to them ■ has Deen examined by the Health Office. Tho Minister for Publio Health has licensed the depot in Dixon Street as a milk station, and an officer has been appointed to examine all tha milk being delivered to and from the deis drawn to the advertisement in this issue of an important sale of dairy stock, and also the same owner's farms, to be held by the H.B. Farmers' Coop. Association, Ltd., Dannevirke, at iiorsewood on Thursday, December 19. Mr. Hutchinson has a very fine herd of oows, but owing to dissolution of partnership he is forced to sell off. His three properties will. be offered for sale, on very easy term's, and no reasonable offer will be refused. As dairy farms, the 100 and iflacre properties are hard to beat, and as buyers will have the opportunity of buying the oows as well as the land it is anticipated that a large attendance of buyers will be at this sale. Arrangements will be mado by the auctioneers for con-, veying outside buyers to the sale..

TERRIFIC HEAD AND BACK PAINS. BILE BEANS A SAFE AND SUEE REMEDY. • Mrs; E. ]JJ. Campbell, of 7 Eae Place, : ■ffoolloomooloo, Sydney, says:—"Severe attacks of dyspepsia made me very downhearted and disinclined for work. I suffered greatly with wind round the heart and stal)-like pains in the back. Every time I would breathe I would gasp, the pain was 60 acute. My liver became sluggish, which caused me to have awful ' beaaaches. I dreaded riding in trams or any conveyance, the vibration causing terrific head pains. Frequently I had . attacks of dizziness and two or three years ago these were so bad that I fell down in tho street. General debility oaused me awful suffering and my life became mtol"I was tired of experimenting with various eo-oallcd oures and remedies, for nothing which I took gavo me any re-, lief. However, I commenced a course of Bile Beans, which was tho starting point of my lost health being restored to me. Bile Beans quickly banished the headaches and pains in the. back,, and roused niy liver to normal activity. In a short time tho fiatulenoo had ended, and I ivas able to get about without fear of dizziness or any painful symptoms. I regularly took Bile Beans until all my ailments had gono, I was freed from debility and once more I enjoyed the best, of health. Since Bile. Beans cured mo I have never had any return of my old banish headache, piles, • liver trouble, indigestion, biliousness, constipation, debility, stomach, disorders/' anaemia and fenml© ailments.
