Terms moderate. Address—Miss Stoney, care of A. L. Bristow, Puketahi street, Greymouth. AIL-SKIN COATS. To Mr C. F. HOLMES, Tent, Hose, and Oil-skin Maker, Kuraara. Sir—You stated to me when you. took my order for Oil-skin Coats for myself and Mr Gillbanks, that the articles would be much superior to anything of the kind I had ever seen before. I desire to inform you that I have used oil-skins for the last sixteen years, but I never found any to answer so well as yours. They are thoroughly waterproof, and are comfortable to walk in. It is a matter of surprise to me that you have not advertised such. admirable articles, as I feel convinced that they need only to be known to be extensively worn. Reference to Mr Passmore, farmer, Teremakau, or to Mr Gillbank, will prove that I have not overstated the case.—l am, sir, yours truly, John Wills. TO GROCJND SLUICERS li In particular, And to the public at large. I should have advertised before, but the late fire disabled me from supplying any great demand at the time when I was made aware that my OILSKINS were in reality superior to any ever seen or known before. But I am in a position to supply OIL-SKIN SUITS, HYDRAULIC. HOSE, TjLNJ?S r MATTRASSES, AND SOU'-WESTERS, All of my own. make. I shall be glad if my customers, who feel satisfied will, give-, me a written acknowledgment, of their belief in the superiority of my improved article.

The newspapers with account of Derby Race are due to reach Dunedin by 'Frisco mail on the 28th July ; but this Consultation will probably fe closed and drawn before the 20th Jijy when telegrams will be sent to the 246 winners. The public are informed that this will probably be the final Consultation carried through in the colony, as very strong repressive measures are likely to be passed by Parliament this session • and, if so, no consultation on the Melbourne Cup could either be carried out or filled up. With crossed cheques add 1b exchange. Two postage stamps. Postoflice orders or registered letters are recommeuded. ALFRED A.
