TAKES DIAMOND’S PLACE

Fiijst Hand, though a failure in his brief career on the flat, is to have a chance to make good as a jumper. His breeder, Mr. F. Armstrong, is apparently satisfied) 'to concentrate on his good purchase, Manawatu, in his quest for another Grand National winner, and he hug l presented First Hand to Mr. T. Newman, of Nelson, who had ithe ill luick 'to lose Diamond in the last Grand National Steeples. First Hand is now in T. R. George’s team at Trentham and he has already geen given his first schooling lessons. Now six years old, First Hand is bred both to jump and to stay, and h e is solidly enough put together.' He is a bay gelding by Greyspear, and his diam, an unraced mare named Palmist, is a. full-sister to tho Grand National Hurdles winner Sleight of Hand, being by Mystification from Rouble, a halfbred mare by Wonder, land, bred by the late- Sir George Hunter. An earlier progeny of Pal. mis'l’s- was Airforce, who won a number of small races' sontg years ago in Mr. Armstrong’s colours.

A prophecy that’s coming truer every day! When Lord Craigavon visited this country, years and years ago now, he of course sampled our toasted tobacco, and pronounced it good, and he added that in his opinion it has a great future before it. Since those days toasted has made such astonishing strides that it has outstripped all its competitors, and actually got on level terms with the imported article! Everywhere throughout New Zealand, from the farthest North to the farthest South, from the East Coast to the West, you’ll find “toasted” on sale. There’s a rare charm about this beautiful tobacco which differs from all others, not only in flavour and aroma, but in its comparative harmlessness due to the toasting of the leaf and the consequent elimination of the nicotine in it. . This ingenious and efficient process is the manufacturers’.own. The only genuine toasted brands are Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. If you want pure and i wholesome tobaccos, smoke toasted! It will never let you down.
