The Nevj Zealander of the 6th February says :—“ The Wellington Jockey Club deserve from the newspapers all that they’ pay for and nothing more. They’ know very well that one man cannot report the races, and so extract the price of another’s entrance and stand money from the various papers. For our part we would just as soon pay for two tickets as one, as the' extra expense makes little difference lathe cost of a daily’paper. The secretary of the club pesters the press with locals, and one thing and another, about 0/!q races, for a couple of months before'Sk# event comes off, gets the programme the race meeting printed and published on the cheap, and sends us one press ticket.WJien the next race meeting* takes place^ as far as we are concerned, arrangements shall be entered into altogether, and if the Jockey Club likes not our terms, they can take their advertising elsewhere.” Well-dressed Men.—Among thosehabitual errors of conduct which are common in both careful and careless persons, not one is more often met with than disregard of the advantages derivable from being well dressed; yet whoever live's observantly in such a County as Patea, is soon convinced that this mistake is fruitful of mischievous results. All of us instinctively judge from first impressions;we proceed from the exterior to the interior; a well-dressed man gratifies our fondness for beauty and our appreciation of neatness; and there is no one, however cynical or unobservant, but is pleased when a well-dressed person, even-if a stranger, passes by, and disposed to think favorably of him. This universal disposition cannot safely be offended. To be habitually a sloven is ter constantly,though unconsciously, offend numerous persons, among whom the favour of some maybe valuable; and therefore a shrewd man is not content to make himself neat, now and then, but always will appear well dressed. He keeps his clothes in good order, and is careful in the selection of a tailor.

In bringing this maxim before public notice, R. A. Adams, Cardigan House, is gratified by remembering that the disposition of a great many of his customers to appear in public well dressed has been met by the combination in his goods of selection, material, good fit, and low price. He obtains his cloths in the most advantageous markets; he employs first-class cutters and workmen; he avoids obsolete fashions; and lie' is content withmoderate profits in the place of the exorbitant percentage which only a few years ago was universal, and still is frequent in the tailoring trade. His gloves, hats, shirts, hosiery, ties,and scarfs, are also such as will please the most fastidious. Whatever experience, capital, care, and good taste can effect on the trades-' man’s side, is done by E. A. Adams, in order' that all his customers may realise the substantial advantages of being well-dressed;-and that his efforts give satisfaction, is shown' by the rapid and steady increase in thcnumber of those who deal with him.

Attentive to the changes of costume neces-' sitated by varying seasons, and of style by the dictatee of fashion, 11’. A. Adams has now on hand a large and carefully selected stock of cloths suitable for all seasons.—ll. A. ADAMS' Cardigan House, Carlyle.— advt. Holloway's Pills and Ointment. —During' piercing winds and excessive variations of temperature every one is more or less liable' to internal and external disease. Throat,chest, liver, bowels, kidneys, and skin, all suffer in some degree, but may be relieved by rubbing in this Ointment,- aided by proper doses of the Pills, for administering which full directions accompany each box in truth any one who thoroughly masters Hollowuy’s “ instructions,” will in remedying disease, exchange the labor of an hour for the profit of a lifetime.- All bronchial,pulmonary,- and throat disorders require' that the Ointment should bs thoroughly well rubbed upon the skin twice-a-day' with consderable briskness,great persistence and regularity.
