The Feilding Sports

The Ninth Annual Athletic Festival of Feilding will be held on Boxing Day, the 26th instant. The popularity of this gathering has advanced year t>y year, as has been evinced by the steady increase of the entries for all • "the events. This may in some measure be accounted for in the excellent • management of the working comm i ttoe, and the wisdom and tact of the judges exercised in the carefully carrying out of the various events in their respective order. Without any exception the handicaps have given satisfaction, both to the competitors and the public. . The excellent plan of handing over the [ prizes, at the conclusion of each event , v fe a source of great satisfaction to the winners, who are thus saved the ineyifabje delay which is too often •* inflicted where committees are composed of well-intentioned but inexpe- . rienced sportsmen. As no intoxicants are allowed to bo sold on the ground, there is no fear of any persons being present who might bo liable, from over indulgence, to mate themselves objec- '"' tipnable to the numerous women and ■ .children whose presence makes the " ; scene on the lawn so chniTuing. All we have to hope for is fiac weather, and that granted we are safe in saying that the sports this year will be the **t)est of any of those preceding. The catering is in the excellent hands of those jpopular purveyors Messrs Summers and Mayhew, and their booths sjaromige.tp be very attractive.

THE BAD AND WORTHLESS are never imitated or counterfeited. This is especially true of a family medicine, and it is posit ire proof tiiat the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As soon as it had been lestod find proved by the whole that Hop Bitters was the purest, best and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal ihe notices in vrhich the press and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. 8., with variously devised names in which the word " Hop" or " Hops" were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same an Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies cr cures, no matter what their style or name island especially those with the word "Hop" or "Hops" in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuine American Hop "Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the white label, and Dr Soule's namp blown in the gl-iss. Trust nothing else. Druggists and Chemists are warned against dealing in imitations or counterfeits.
