Each letter will be dated when received, and money paid to first “ tipster.” Competitors not restricted to one trial, but can try as often as they please, and it is not compulsory to have tickets in Consultation, thus giving anyone the chance of obtaining the above valuable prize. In the event of winners not being tipped, the £lOO will be equally divided between the Otago Benevolent Institution and Industrial School, (Caversham.) It will be observed that Ada is disinterested, having placed the money beyond her control, and it must be paid to somebody—hence her declining to receive tips herself, for she will not accept any. Applications will be received till 27th October, and must be addressed only to Sporting Editor, Otago Witness, Dunedin. Please keep copy of tip. Winner must apply for prize within one month after the race. ■ 279

Electoral Notices. EAST COAST ELECTION. MR . LOCKE will address the Electors at the times and places as follows ; — Saturday, 12th July, Tologa Bay Tuesday, 15th July, Schoolroom, Patutahi Thursday, 17th July, Schoolroom, Wae-renga-a-hika Friday, 18th July, Hall, Makaraka Saturday. 19th July, Bruce’s Hall, Ormond Monday, 21st July, Macfarlane’s Hall, Gisborne 268 TO THE ELECTORS OF THE EAST COAST DISTRICTS. "g^LECTORS,— You are aware, by a previous notification published in the newspapers, that it is my intention to again solicit your support for the coming election. The large majority which returned me as your member for the very brief session of Parliament assures me that the same honor will be conferred on me at the close of the coming contest. It will be my pleasure, as it will, I feel, be my duty, to address you at the several centres of the districts, when I will explain my views and what are my intentions as your representative. I have the assurances of late Ministers that, whether in or out of office, they will give their most cordial support towards advancing the interests of the Poverty Bay districts. The little I was able to accomplish during the two or three days I was in Wellington is, I think, a guarantee of the bona fides of their intentions. You may feel certain that I will go for that party who are at once willing and able to assist me in advocating the many requirements of this long neglected electorate. It will have been seen by you that Mr. W. L. Rees, who stood lowest on the poll at the late election, has laid an indictment against me under the Corrupt Practices Act. The charge I shall meet, having a strong wish to court investigation. The motive which has

actuated Mr. Rees in this action is too transparent to require explanation. Electors, I have no fear of the result of this contest. I believe you know that my political expressions are sincere, and that what I promise I will do my best to perform. I am, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, 265 SAMUEL LOCKE.
