ASHBURTON A.& P. ASSOCIATION.

HORSE PARADE, Committee of Management : Messrs J. C. N. Grigg, R. Milkr, M. Stitt, C. Reid, T. Langley, Denis McKendry, and J. Small; Secretary, Mr Jno. J. 0. Quane. Tlie annual Horse Parade, under the auspices of the Ashburton Agricultural and Pitstaral Association, took place to day; at the Show grounds, and was fhe best on record for the Association. The entries comprised eighteen draughts, eight thoroughbreds, six carriage and roadster horses, and three pciiies making a total of thirty-five. In quality as m number the parade was the best the Association has ever had. The hcrses were, as a rule, m better condition than they usually are —not loaded with flesh, but m solid healthy condition for the season. Visitors to the Ohristchuich Parade were unanimous m declaring that the display here wos far before that at Christchurch, and, indeed, for general excellence the horses paraded here would be hard to beat anywhere. DRAUGHTS. Taking the entries m the order m which they appeared "on the card, first comes Mr T, Langley's Athelstane, now a shapely massive horse, having been m regular farm work all winter. His blood is as good as could be wished, and it is no surprise to hear that he has already fulfilled one-half of his allotted season's duties. M:- J. Gilmour's recent acquisi tion Woodlands—imported from Victoria to the Tai Tapu district, where he has left some promising stock—comes next, «nd if he remain m this district he will no doubt command, ori his style alone, a substantial amouut of patronage. Of the same owner's Kelvin nothing need be said f by his fruits he may be known, and he appeared as fresh as a two-year-, old. sirN. Fitzgerald's Empei or, a four year-old, is light at present, but ha 3 the makings of a nice horse. Mr W; Damson's ■ Sir William Jervois is of a different stamp—low set, well-legged, lengthy and active, and will improve' further as he leaves juvenility behind him. Mr Daniel McKendry's Diplomacy is another hovse that is as we.l} known to our readers as he is to us. He will take a deal-of beating m any show ring. Mr .John O'Shea's Prince Imperial has filled . out almost beyond knowledge since last parade, and though he is but five years old, lias a massive, powerful appearance that will tell m his favor. Mr D. Ross' Filial, a tfaree-year-old son of Kelvin, is a very promising colt, and a credit • to his parentage. Mr W. A. Gray's Yoitrtg Heaconsfield, is one of the active sort; of g-»wl quality, but,, carrying less flesh than soriuj of those r pteseiit", looked rather light. He is just ihe stamp for the plains. Mr C. Biyliss', Sir Archibald is a inuch-itnpovod horec, ' of i»ood quality and style, 'i h.311 comes Mr John Small's Loid Cranley, a thickly built three-year-old, well set on grand legs, who m J. Porter's care will give the besi- of them a run for the championship this year. Mr Peter Cunningham's Callum O' Glen, who dividedjhonors with Mr Small's colt last year, has, his growing yet to do, biifc Jot his size nothing m the, parade was more shapely 'or showed higher quality. Mr J. McDonald's Awatnoa, the hero of many an Oamaru. show* is well-known as a grand specimen of suhstance, quality and style. Mr M. Friedlander's Young New Style is a four-; year-old of higli quality tlmfc promises to be a big horse. He will have to bo reckoned with m the show-ring. Mr T. Mee's, of Oamaru, Napoleon is a splendidly-bred horse of great style and quality, excellent bone', and tine hair, well set on, and should find a purchaser without much difficulty Mr F. M. Rickman's Protection i» by the same sire as Callum o' Glen-that grand horse Extinguisher—and has many of his characteristics ; nothing on th* ground is a better type of a worker or has better style and action. Mr J. McDonald's The Banker, another four-year-old of the com pact order ; and Mr Clark's Banker's Hero, a four-year-old much out of condi tion, conclude the list of draughts. THOROUGHBREDS.. The Thoroughbreds are mostly well known m the district. Johnny Faulkner is as handsome and gay as ever. Perkin Warbeck 11, under Mr James Carlan's care, looks a* if he were well aware of the recent successes of his stock, Lady Zet land and r Coliin«wood. Torrent is the most showy of the ring—quiet as a sheep, and showing qualifies that should recommend him to owners of hunt in* or stoufc hack mares ; Macilleathcan, looking better than ever ; Zcixes, or rather smsill Bnndoora horse, but b.toufc and of fair quality ; old Tekoa, who can point to a numerous descent of rare travellers m harness, a: d some-clinkers on the trotting track ; Harkaway, rather gross m condi tion, though we are assured; he has been ridden over fciCcs eVeiy day during the winter ; and Burlington, than whom no horse.in the county has got more useful all-round stock. TB-OTTEHS. The trotting sires are a strong feature of the Parade. There is the gigantic and handsome Camel, closely related on both sides to the champions of the trotting track ; General Tvaccjr, the four-year-old brother to the champion lientucky, and whose three-year old brother could ;not be bought for 300 guineas in.' Duijedbi last week" Blackwood Abdallah, the; $ire of Bedale, Remnant, Link, Miss Parati, Semolina, Victoria 11., Butcher Boy 11., DunoMi Abdallnh, Berlin Abdullah, and many other noted trotters ; his son Dun can Abdallah, out of Fanny, by bheilds (imp.), out of Fanny Fern, one of the fastest trotters m Otago, and a really mcc little liowe ; the Rakaia celebrity Wilkin, wlicse performances on the track are fresh m the memory of our readers ; and the genuine grey, Rou « , who holds his own with them nil for style, and has high credentials at the stud as a progenitor of hunters, trotters and carnnge horses. rosißs. Three n|ce ponies were entered. Mr Rule's Selim and Mr Silcook s Brilliant are old friends, and there is a new comet m a very handsome pony of Shetland descent, bred at the famous shed m the Isle of Timor, Mr Rickmans Highland Tlufimrade was the most attractive tfcal has ever been held here, and the Com mittee of Management and the becretan m entitled to great praise for the result,

Having had inflammation of the bone of the leg, which came on after a severe attack of low fever, I was attended by Dr J. Boyd, who had made strenuous efforts to save my leg, but without success. He found it necessary to amputate my limb. Having heard m the meantime of the wonderful cures worked by the Eucalypti Extract, I obtained a bottle/ and the extract had not been applied more thaii an hour when I began to feel greatly relieved. After applying the extract every four hcursfor nine or ten days it was out of all^tlanger. I Would persuade al who may be effected with any such disease to give the Eucalypti Extract a trial, and I am eony^ieed that they *vill find it the most wr/fderful of medicines.—You; s, etc., E.
