TRENTHAM RACES.
WINTER MEETING.
CAPTAIN JACK WINS THE STEEPLECHASE.
IMMENSITY AHEAD IN THE HURDLES.
A RACEHORSE KILLED,
, After a week of rather unsettled weather, the Wellington Racing Club was favoured with a lino day for its Winter Meeting, which opened at Trentham yesterday, and for the season of tho year there was a. record attendance. Those present included His Excellency the Governor. (tho Earl of Liverpool) and party, several ittiuisters of the Crown, and numerous racing delegates, who are in tho city in connection with the ■several conferences being held during tho week. As a res'ilt of the recent rains, tho going .on the racing track was heavy, but it was in capital order when compared to what it has been at some previous winter' meetings. It was not against Rood racing, and notwithstanding the big fields in the jumping events thore was a minimum of falls, the most serious being in the big steeplechase, when Antarctic came to grief and broko lu's neck. Generally the sport was full of interest to the public, though only one actual favourite prevailed during tho. afternoon. Speculation on the totalisator was brisk throughout tho day,' and the total investments on the machine (£34,146 10s.) were greatly in excess of the total on any previous day of a winter -meet ius. Thfi big increase is' to be partly accounted for by tho fact that there wero eight.races on yesterday's programme as against seven on each day of the last winter meeting. ' '; A Big Steeplechase Field. Kauroa was withdrawn from tho Wellington Steoplecliaso in favour of his stable companion, Waterworks, but all. the other acceptors stood their -ground, ■ so that tbo held of 17 runners was a record in tho history of the race. Peary was mado favourite, with Bercola.and the Auckland candidates, Captain- Jack and Rutty, next, in domaud. Any chance which Ruffy had was extinguishedthrough his running off at tho first* fence,..but none of the other.candidate? met .with mishap until tho last'round was entered upon. The three favourites' all got round safely, but Peary and Bercola never looked to have winiiing chances. Sir Lethe made the pace for two miles and a half, but Captain, Jackj who was always in a good position, easily headed him at that stage, and won. with a good deal in hand from* Jackman.' The latter was well ahead of Sir Letho, while that. useful'jumper, Silvoi Monarch, finished fourth, Captain Jack gavo a remarkably good di&v play of. jumping, and never placed-a foot wrong at any part of the journey... Jackman and Sir Letho also jumped well throughout, but tho last-named tired to .nothing it tho last few furlongs. The-Spaniard, whowas tailed o. in the early'stages'of the race, v made up a good deal of ground in the last round and finished in fifth position, just ahead of Bercola. At tho log fence, about six furlongs from homo,-AntarDtic fell and broke uis neck. ' " , , , .'■'•; Parliamentary Handicap; Tatimi was the only, withdrawal from tho Parliamentary Handicap, for which Bluestono waaniado a pronounced fa--voiirite. J. Buchanan, who it was thought would rido Bluestono,' did not, conic; from Auckland to the. meeting, and'in his ahsenco A. Julian was given the mount on tho grey horse. ; Froni the' start Bluestono took, the lead piloted -the .field to the straight,bbutt t lie had been hard pressed all the way by Pursefiller, and when Portraiture 'challenged the favouirto in l tho straignu ho quickly lost tho lead." By the time the post was reached he had dropped back to sixth place. It was a case of a favourite being very easily disposed of. Oliver rode one of his best races on Portraiture and judged tho"pace, of the race to a nicety.' Commotion, who was always prominent, was in second place with a length to spare from tho fast-finishing Sir Knox, who was closely followed by Byron and First Consul. The Winter Hurdles. Sixteen runners contested tho Winter Hurdles-, Admiral Soult/Immensity, and Royal Arms being backed in the order named. /Admiral Soult never appeared to' be really dangerous at any stage of tho racei although'--ho among tho first half dozen six furlongs : frcm home. Royal Arms led over the first fenco, but' he did not long, retain the'lead and was in severaL'difEe.r-eht-positious throughout the- race.. Entering tho' straight thp last time ho came through an opening on" the rails and managed to second.place, .behind Immensity, who oarripd 41b. overweight in. order tliat she might have the services of F. M'Cabe as.horseman., Gleno'rchy, who was a rank outsider,ran a surprisingly good race, and-was actually in the lead six furlongs frpni home, but ho was beaten into,third placo at tho finish. Cloudy Dawn, who was not prominent- until the straight was reached, -.finished in fourth ' place, just ahead of Admiral Soult. The Great Northern winner. To Onga, was not. among the first half dozen.' . The Mjnor Events. Ruatangata was a ■ strong favourite in tho Vittoria Hurdle Handicap, but although lie'was always in a handy position and finished, very fast,' lip siifV fered dofeat by a head. Parewanui, who was in front from start to,finish, struck thp last hurdle, but quickly recovorad his stride, and.just lasted long enough to stall off a late run by Ruatangata. Cheddar looked to havo a good winning chance five furlongs from homo, but he finished indifferently, and must have been - a dozen lengths or more bo-' hind the second liorso, while the southern candidate, Margo, was a poor fourth. , Bluestone and Moutoa Girl, who. claimed engagements in tho Parliamentary Handicap, were withdrawn from the. Stewards' Handicap, and the further scratching of Royal Sleeves left nineteen runners in tho event. Gipsy Bellp and Mount Victoria wore the'favourites, but neither gained a place, though Mount Victoria led for nearly five furlongs. Kaniki was actually first away from the barrier, but he was steadied, whilst Mount Vic'tor ; a and The Great Mogul carried on the running. Whon_ the straight was fairly entered, Kaniki shot to the front again, and won rather comfortably from Tatimi, who came from tho'ruck. Ko>y, a stable companion of tho winner, was a fair third. Mowbray was in the fighting foe just before reaching tho straight, but he finished a long way behind tl|o placed horses. In«enkonder was withdrawn from the Hack Steeplechase, and in his absence the favourite was Bonny, who carried over a thousand tickets on the machine. After shaking off Stnckado five furlongs from home, Bonny looked to have the race in his keeping, but- Northern caught him at the Inst fence and beat 111111° in the run homo. The feature of tho race was tho fine exhibition by R. Gray oil the winner. Entering the last round Northern had.suclr a lot of ground to make up that his chance ■seemed hopeless.' Gray, however, cut oil' all the corners between the fences, and sn placed his mount in a_ winning position by the time the straight was reached. ' In the Trial Plate the Karaoiu eaudi-
date. Shaki, and tho locally-trained Need were the favourites, and they finished first- and second, after having had the remainder of tho candidates beaten at any stago of the race. George, Wailaiul, and Try. Fluke carvied tho bulk of the money' in the To Aro Handicap, and tho form had been Bummed up fairly accurately for Try Fluke and George both returned their supporters dividends. The finish between this pair was a capital ending to nn interesting day's sport. RESULTS.

A HUCE CROWD. Every available bit of space in the Town Hall Concert Chamber was packed 'to its utmost capacity last night, whon the Veedee Specialists gave their'big public demonstration. ; In addition quite a number of people had to be turned away as there .was nowhere to accommodate them. Many people had, come long dis- ; taaces .to'see the world-famous little Veedeo in action, and a feeling of suppressed expectancy pervaded the great audience. ' ■ Sufferers'of ajll sorts and conditions were present, while many had come on behalf of friends who were themselves unable to . be present. Numbers of the .sufferers had tried various remedies in! vain for, their complaints, and they were looking forward to the Veedee Demonstration to see , if, ot last, they could find something to' bring them relief. And , they-were not • disappointed/ for last night proved conv clusively to the most sceptical what a wonderful force is curative vibration when applied by the agency! of the Veedee. - ~ At 8 o'clock, sharp the, Veedee Specialists made their appearance' on the platform, and were.warmly.greeted by those present.- Proceedings- were opened Jby •Mr. A. B. Scott,'the general:-manager :of Veedee's . Australasian tour, who . briefly explained, in a few well-chosen words, what are the objects, that the Specialists', seek to : attain. -. Mr. Scott told his hearers that they were not going •to be asked to take anything on faith. They had been invited to. .bo present, because the Veedeo Experts could substantiate 'every,, claim that they. made. All : they asked was to be allowed toiexplain and'demonstrate, and that,those.present should believe the, evidence" of their own ears and eyes. The Veedee .was not an.experiment. It had been in use for some 11 years already, and, during that time, had '~ been the means of relieving thousands of 6nfferer3. The Veedee was tho first practical hand-driven Vibrator ever made, and was to-day-the only praotical.Vibra- , tor in existence. • There, had'been many imitations put"on the market from time to time which had endeavoured to gain a. certain. vogue on the strength of the 'Veedee's genuine reputation, but one and all had ifailed because they had never ; ' been 'able,to. imitate the Veede9 in one . main thing,,viz.,-its power to cure. Tho Treason for this was that tho Vtedee was . the only adjustable Vibrator, that is, . the only one, in which,' by a,simple mechanical device, the force and destiny of the. Vibrations could be regulated exactly to suit the requirements of eph particular patient and each particuiar complaint. This, in itself, told the story of the -Veedee's success; arid the : failure' "-'of'■•imitations.'- As evidence' of the Veedee's Fame, Mr. Scott showed some slides on the screen, giving pictures and testimonials from such well-known peoplo '. as Madairio Melba, Father ■ Bobinson, - "Snowy"? Baker, Lord Roberts, General Baden-Powell, H.M. the-Queen of Spain, .'■.■ C. B. Fry, . and a 'number .0f... others equally weli known. . '":,-'" ■" ■•'.„.. '■ THE; , - Professor W. T'. Wright, 'the Veedee .., Expert and lecturer, :was . then introduced. , Professor' Wright has ' come to Australia,'from', England 'especially, to preach the gospel of Curing by Vibra- • tion. and he was given a-most hearty reception. ' The Professor then proceeded to elucidate the theory of Curative- , Vibratio'ji? for the benefit of his hearers. Ho explained how. by greatly increasing the blood circulation, and then strenetheuing'the kidneys,'the wasto matter in ; .the body is carried awav .through the natural channels. T£'a'.person is'suffering from som<' comnlairit primarily caused by congestion, the only really effec'.tive means/of 1 dealing with the complai.nt 1 is to' dispel the'-primary cause, namely, the congestion. This, i.Voedce Vibration doe 3, and, obviously, 1 once the cause of the trouble is removed, the trouble itself soon'disappears.. . Nowhere can this , be seen better than in the■•-.; case.,.' of Rheumatism, in which.the pain is caused -by the accumulation of Uric.Acid'.Crystals around the joints, which on th° surrounding nerves; Now, Veedee Vibration, by ■ .'constantl v.... hammering.-, at these crystal's,' .eventually ■ breaks.; them down; just, as hammering-on a' piece of chalk will eventually reduce it to a powder. As the minute particles of crystals get smaller and smaller they are able to be carried awav by the blood, and eithor breathed out through the lunw, or discharged through the kidneys. The Vibration, : besides ■ breaking down tho ' accumulation, also increases the circulation of the blocxl, and so helps it to wa.sh away the'impurities. In cases of ■ Nervous/troubles, too, the Veedee can do. . a ; vast' amount of "good. .'ln all such complaints as Insomnia. Neuralgia, Paralysis. General Debility, and /.Loss of Power, Vibration, of the affected nerves soon,.brings' about relief. .Pro- '■' fessor Wrieht 1 quoted-from Dr. J.-Morti-mer-Granville, the :. world's greatest authority on Vibration, who .savs:. ,"Every orcah of the body may, in the ' absence, of ~ utterly disabling organic disease,, be made to perform' its proper functions, by': exciting : the ..nerve which' ' supplies it with energy: .In. ; this.-way I have seen ; the inveterate. torpidity, of many organs overcome by a few;, succes-sive-Vibrations."- The ;Prpfessor ,also nuoted'from Dr. Ackland. of St. Thomas' Hospital. London;' Sir Almoth- Wright, of St. 'Mary's Hospital, London; and various-other authorities, in support of his contention that Vibration, ■; is : the only rational means of dealing with various complaints. ■■ '■ . Professor. Wright concluded his remarks by- screening a series of most interesting physiological .slides, and'was able by their aid, to .illustrate the various points ho had-mado; during the course of his I lecture; >.. '• PLATFORM CASES.. The first case treated was that of .'Mr. A. E. Anstice, of 101 Adelaide Road. This gentleman • has for a four years suffered from - locomotor-ataxia, and at the start walked painfully up and down the platform, evidently sufferine,. greatly from this dread complaint. The Veedee was put-to work, and in a very few minutes Mr. Anstice was able to move about with much greater freedom, and was amazed at tl)9 improvement which-the. machine had been able to effect in such
a short space of time. The audience warmly applauded this magnificent result. Mr. W.- Williams, of Severn Street, Island Bay, was the next patient to engago attention. pMr. Williams trouble is lumbago, and when'the machine was first put to work on him the parts affected were so painful that he could hardly bear'*the pressure of the instrument. Onco again, however, tho little Veedee proved its worth, for it was not many minutes before Mr. Williams declared that .the pain was gone, and that he felt lovely. Ho. then dropped a piece of paper on the floor and picked it up, as he .said, without the slightest discomfort, a thing which ho had not been able to do for a. very tag time. "I feel a new .man!" Thus spoke Mr. J). O'Mara, of Island Bay (who has been a victim of Rheumatism for three years) after the Veedee had been at work on him for a short time. He informed the audience that he considered that the machine had done'wonders in his case, and that lie never believed that anything could do so much good, in such a short time, thus confirming the Veedee's to "instantly stop pain.." , FREE TREATMENT. The Veedee Specialists have, opened new. and- luxurious premises in Wellington, at 125 Willis Street, where all sufferers are being treated free of charge. The use of tho Veedee is especially indicated in aill such cases as Rheumatism, Lumbago, Gout, Arthritis, Deafness. Constipation/ Indigestion; Liver .and' Kidney troubles, Asthma; Female troubles and Obstructions, Insomnia, .Neuralgia, Hysteria, Paralysis, Stiff' Limbs.and Joints, Nervous and General Debility Loss of Power, .and all persons suffering from any of these troubles should call'at tho Veedee Institute, where they will receive free 'treatment, and advice. The Veedee is ideal for -self-treatment _in the home, and no one carefully following the directions printed in tho book supplied with each machine, can fail to get\good results. Moreover, everyone ' who calls at the institute can rely on getting an honest, straightforward opinion, as to. whether the Veedee will be suitable for ■their particular case. The Veedee Specialists will not; sell a. machine where •it cau do no good, because _ they will not bring. the . Veedee into disrepute. Cases were then called for treatment on the, platform, and several aged and middle-aged men and women responded. It was noticeable, that most of these limped and.: hobbled painfully, alonj, whilej others held hands and arms in Cramped'positions, due to the ravages, of Rheumatism, gout, sciatica, etc. 'Others still, appeared all right to the casual onlooker, but these, were the persons suffering from deafness, or other troubles! not outwardly visible.' . • ' : ■ ■'. .- : : THE CROWD CHEER. By now the audience, deeply interested, seeiiicd convinced, of^ the Veedee's remark abl powers, and'.ioboeredi every .'.fresh case.: All through the proceedings the applatso was free and spontaneous. This was only to be expected, as the results obtained in | somo of the more difficult cases were j really astonishing. machine Was next requisitioned to loosen up the stiff joints from which-Mr. James Clarke. ,of 2 Garratt Street, City, suffers. ; This gentleman -stated that his was a case of five years' standing, but it was not more than five minutes beforo the "little steel, doctor" made him feel many years younger. He declared to the audience-in-his quaint brogue that he felt ."just champion." . A couple of deaf cases next occupied the: attentions of the Specialist. ■' The first was that of Mrs. E. Tannahill, of Pelone Road, who "for twelve long years had been a victim of this dread complaint., The Veedee came to, the rescue, however, and in a very few moments Mrs. Tannahill was able'to hear fairly well." The other deaf case, was Miss, Anstice, of Adelaide Road. Her case also yielded .in a satisfactory way _to the gentlo influence of Veedee Vibration. Mr, J. G. Inkisell, of's Coombs Street, City, then asked to be treated for paralysis, from which he has suffered for two years. This patient was in a rather bad general condition,, but after treatment he had much better control over his limbs, and 1 declared that a large amount of feeling had- come back to his arms and legs. Wellington 6eems to. be singularly free from .Sciatica, for the only . instance .of this trouble which came under the notice of the Specialists last night was that of Mr. P. Kelly, of Brcoklyn, who has been a sufferer for.five years. After treatment, his story was'the-same as in tho case? of the other patients. He had a much freer movement of the limbs and all the pain was gone : . One case that tho ' Specialists were rather doubtful about -attempting at all was that of .Mrs. Wilks, of 25 Halloway Road, City, who has been deaf for.sixty, years..;To effect improvement looked almost impossible at the start, but . Mrs. Wilks's hearing was'obviously improved by tho treatment which she underwent. Tho audience were delighted with this .fresh triumph and/voiced their approval ,'in no uncertain manner. ' : Mr. D. Anderson, of 12 Wright Street, City, hobbled, along'the stage with the aid of two sticks. Mr. Anderson's trouble; .'is. paralysis. Probably no one in the ; building was more surprised than the patient himself'when ho found that he could move along without his sticks at all. He would hardly believe it himself, but soon gained confidence when he found that his limbs would support him. "A-locomotor-ataxia case was then attempted. Mr. Stanley, of Pitt Street, . Wadestown, was the pationt. Prior to the application, of the machine, this'gentleman had the greatest difficulty in propelling i himself along the stage, but after a few I moments' treatment ho was able.to get along with case, and declared himself as highly pleased with tho results obtained in his ease. •' . . A number of other cases were also taken and showed improvement in a greater or less degree. The audience was most enthusiastic throughout, and generously applauded the efforts of the Specialists. At the conclusion a large number of people made appointments for private treatment al the-Veedee Institute, 125 Willis Street.
