A Westport paper says that ; Mr. G. H. Gothard representing the Westport Trotting Club, interviewed the Reefton Trotting Club in regard to to racing fixtures, suggesting that, if Reofton would forego its meeting this year, and allow its date to come to Westport, Westport would agree to forego its date the following year. The Reeiton. Club, after considering the position, came to the conclusion that it could not do as suggested, as it had made all its ■ arrangements for it s meeting, including the getting of approval of its programme. It is suggested that Westport Jockey Club may be able to secure the second date formerly held by the Westport Trotting Club, and hold its meet-, ing on that day. The meeting would, ! in all probability, bo for local horses only, so a® not to clash with, other Coast fixtures. • i Call and so® th e special reductions f made in Ladies’ Tweed Coats and in Winter Millinery at Misses Addisons. 1 —Advt.

Tho circulation of dirty, filthy bank notes is becoming both a scandal and danger.” remarks tho current issue of the “Mercantile Gazette.” “The not.< circulation is now very largo,” the journal continues, “because notes are legal tender and unquestionably some of the bank notes that pass from hand to hand are a menace to public health. “If a tradesman or shopkeeper sent out goods half as dirty as some of the notes circulated by the banks tho Health Department would very soon be on his heels. The Department, could very reasonably make a periodical examination of the notes in the tills °f the banks, and condemn those that are unsafe from a health point to ho circulated.” We have some attractive lines in Eider-down Quilts; low prices and pretty -designs.
