COUNTRY SALES.

' '■' On Friday 20th, I hold a clearing sale of farm stock, plant etc, at the homestead J T. lall, Newlands, when every v' lot offered was sold, aged draught horses bringing £8 JLOs to £9 10s ; inferior £3 10s to £7 ; light harness horses £5 15s to £6: Cambridge roller, £9 10s.

There is much talk in city circles (says the " European Mail" of May 2) about the circular which arrived by yesterday's mail from New Zealand from the chairman of the New Plymouth Harbour Board, notifying that "the board will probably be unable to provide sufficient funds to meet the coupons of its bonds due in London on May 1." The wonder is why this news wa3 not wired, see ing that it was doubtful whether the circular ■would reach here by the date on which the money was due. It appears that the holders of coupons yesterday had to be content with 10s lOd in the pound, and the question is •Jiow whether the investors who have put their money into this Harbour Board will be content with 4 per cent instead of 6 per cent in the future. This partial repudiatiou of a colonial loan, together with the letter which Appears in 1' The Times "of this'morning on colonial indebtedness, is likely to create a very uneasy feeling amongst those investors who are not well acquainted with [the wealth and resources of our great Antipodean colonies.

HOW PILLS ARE MADE

The Custom of taking medicine in the form of . pills dates far back in history. The object is to enable us to swallow easily in a condensed form disagreeable and nauseous, but very useful, drugs. To what vast dimensions pill taking has grown may be imagined, when we say that in England alone iabbnt 2,000,000,000 (two thousand million) pills are consumed every yavr. In early <fays, pills were made slowly by hand, as the demand was comparatively small. To day they are produced in infinitely greater : 'rapidity by machines especially contrived •for the purpose, and with greater accuracy, too, in the proportions of the various ingre ; dient* employed >', 

No form of medication can be better •tfian ,' * pill, provided only it is intelligently }>i« pared.. But right here occurs the difficulty. : ICasy aa'it.may seem to make a pill, or a i, , million of them there are really very few " pills that can be honestly commended for ; , popular use.. Most of them either under 'l •fioofc' or Overshoot the mark. Am everybody • • takes pill* of some kind, it may be w«U to ; mention what a good, safe, and reliable pill should be. Now, when one feels dull and . sleepy;* and has more or less pains in the . head, sides, and back, he may be sure hia ,«,■ bowels are constipated, and his liver sluggish. , ; To, remedy t;hi« unhappy state of things there is nothing like a good cathartic pill. , 'It will act like a charm by stimulating the ■ liver into doing its duty, and ridding the ■' v digestiveorgans of the accumulated poisonous Blatter. Bat the good pill does not gripe and p&in us, neither does it make us sick and miserable for a few hours or a whole day. It acts on the

. ,■ j entire glandular system at the same time, else ;.. .the; after effects of the pill will be worse than ha disease itself. The griping caused by most pilla is the result of irritating drugs '' which they contain, Such pills are harmful, ■ and should never be used. They sometimes even produce hemorrhoids. Without having *ny particular desire to praise one pill above another, we may, nevertheless, name Mother - f Seigel's Pills, manufactured by the well "> known house of A. J. White, Limited, 35 Farringdon Road, London, and now sold by all chemists and medicine vendors, as the .only one we know of that actually possess every de*irable quality. They remove the pressure upon the brain, correct the liver, and cause the bowels to act with case and

egularity, Qhey never gripe or pro duce the slightest sickness of the stomach, .•r any other unpleasant feeling or 'symptom. Neither do they induce further ■'• constipation,' as nearly all other pills do. As a further. and crowning merit, Mother •i -Seigel's Pills are covered with a 'tasteless and harmless coating, which causes them to . resemble pearls, thus rendering them as : pleasant to the palate as they are effective '' in curing diseases. If you have a severe cold and are threatened with a fever, with ; pain's in the head, back and limbs, one or two doses will break up the cold and prevent the fever. A coated tongue with a brackish taste in /the month is caused by foul matter in "the" stomach. A dose of Seigel'a Pills •will effect a speedy cure. Oftentimes partially -decayed food in the stomach and bowels produces sickness, nausea, etc. <. Cleanse the bowels with a dose of these pills, and good health will follow. Unlike many kinds of pills, they do not make you feel worse before you are better. They are, without doubt, the best family physic ever discovered. They remove all 'obstruction to the natural functions in ither box without any unpleasant effects. It ehould. be explained that this mos , remarkable cure Is due to the fact tha ■ rheumatism is a disease of the blood Indigestion, constipation, and dyspepsid ■; cause the poison from the partiaily digested food to enter the circulation, and the blood deposits it in the joints and muscles. This is rheumatism. Seigel's Sprup corrects the digestion, and so stops the further foormation aud deposit of the poison. It then removes from the system the poison already there, ft-if not a cure-all. It does its wonderful w«rk entirely by its mysterious action upon tk« digestive organs. But when we remem ber that niria-tentß.of our ailments arise out of those organßwecan understand why Seigels Syrup cures any diseases that appears to \)9 so different in their nature.

Ashburton Racing Club.

♦ * The annual meeting of the Ashburton Racing Club was held on Saturday even ing at the Club room, Commercial Hotel. There was a good attendance. Mr C..W. Purnell occupied the chair. The report of the Committee was read as follows:— AUNUAt KBPOBT, 1889-90. In submitting their report for the last season, your Committee nave tocongratu late the Club upon the success of the past season. The total receipts amounted to £1385 2s 4d, compared with £1340 17s 2d the the previous season ; and the expenditure to £1394 14s lOd, compared with £1251 4s 9d the previous season. The principal items of receipts and expenditure in the two seasons compare as under : — RECEIPTS.

The decrease in the amount received in fees from owners is due to the Committee having materially reduced the fees for nomination and acceptance. There was also a falling off in the number of entries owing to the small, number of horses of three years old and\upwards intrainingin Canterbury during the season. Good fields, however, started for ,the various races, and the racing was better than has been seen here" for some years. The attendance of the public has shown a slight improvement, and the returns from the tofcalisafcorshowa very satisfactory increase. There has been an increase in the mem bership, but it is still far. short of what it should be in such a district a 8 this. A substantial increase in the amount of stakes was made; and the southern boun dary for the district races was, after a conference with the South Canterbury Jockey Club, extended to the river Wai taki—a step which, while reciprocating with the South Canterbury Jockey Club,, imparted more interest to the races cori fined to district horses. The sum of £194 11s 6d has been expended upon perma nent improvements. It is hoped that shortly the erection of a new Grand Stand may be undertaken, and when this is done the Club will be relieved from the heavy drain upon their resources, nearly £200 a year, to which it has been subjected during the past few years on this account. A plough training track is in course of for mation on Mr Tucker's property (late Qufll's), at Allenton. This has been taken for the benefit of owners ?|and trainers in the district, and it is hoped that they will recognize the desire of the Club to assist them in this respect, and give the Club a cordial support. The Committee anticipate, however, that the track will entail some expense upon the Club. The Committee have had the rules of the Club under consideration, and a revised code will be submitted to this meeting. The balance sheet was also submitted. A sum of £10 is at the credit of the Club's Distressed Jockey's Fund. All fines imposed on jockeys at race meetings of the Club are applied to this fund. After some of the figures had been ex plained, the adoption of the report and balance sheet was moved by Mr Purnell, seconded by Mr Hugo Friedlander, and carried unanimously. Six new members were balloted for and elected. The revised rules were submitted, and considered seriatim. Some further slight alterations were made, and the code adopted as amended. The question of printing the rules was left to the incom ing Committee. The following officers for the ensuing year were elected :—President—Mr E. G. Wright; Vice-President—Mr John Grigg; Stewards—Messrs Crisp, Denshire, Hugo Friedlander, J. C. N. Grigg, T. Leahy, W. M. Lyttelton, and J. M. Tweed; Judge—Mr M. Stitt; Treasurer—Mr D. Thomas ; Clerk of Scales—Mr R. Fried lander ; Committee—Messrs Crisp, Den shire, Hugo Friedlander, R. Friedlander, T. Leahy, R. McOwen, C. W. Purnell, W. Rollitfc, E. Saunders, M. Scott and J. M. Tweed. (Messrs Stitt, Thomas and Purnell are Stewards, and Mr Thomas & member of Committee ex officio). . Mr H. Friedlander moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman of Committee, Mr C, W, Purnell, for the manner in which he had conducted the many meet ings held during the year. The vote was carried by acclamation, arid briefly acknowledged by the Chairman. The Chairman moved and Mr R. Fried lander seconded a vote of thanks to Messrs Crisp and Denshire and Dr. Leahy for acting as handicappers at the Spring Meeting, when there was a difficulty as to obtaining a suitable handicapper. This was carried unanimously, and reference was made to fche very satisfactory mariner in which Mr J. Oresswell had discharged the duties of Handicappea at the Autumn Meeting. A vote of thanks to the outgoing Com mittee and Stewards was moved by Mr F. Russell, seconded by Mr W. Rollitt, and carried unanimously.

At a meeting of the Committee held at the close of the general meeting Mr Purnell was re-elected Chairman, and the date for the ensuing Spring race meeting was fixed for Wednesday and Thursday, November 19 and 20.
