than ever "with he flag, and owners' and riders' complaints were both loud and deep* Of the racing there is little to say. Magpie won the Hurdles very comfort ably. The two best-conditioned of the candidates for the Ashburton Stakes were left »t the post, and yet it was a good finish, though had all got off on equal terma the result would probably have been different. Still, this raco must be g renounced a success, and we trust the lub will continue it, and back it up witih at least one other substantial stake, so that a good attendance will be attracted. The Novel Race was very funny, the elect of tne stable being; defeated by tlie second string, despite the strenuouvS efforts of the rider of the latter to prevent it. The sale of the winner gave the substantial addition ot £44 to the funds of the Club. Until a quarter of a mile from home almost anything might have won the Autumn Handicap, but at the finish Doti Pedro under the whip ran right away from his opponents. Bean Nash won the District Welter Handicap without a great deal to spare, Bay King running very disappointingly ; and Car ronade got an advantage at the start for the Flying Handicap which enabled her to stall off Young Cheviot's challenge at the finish, Victim who had been ridden a hard race m the previous event, making a hard struggle also m this.

Holloway's Pills.—With darken'ng clay? and changing temperatures the digestion becomes impaired, the liver disordered and the mind despondent, unless the cause of tlie irregularity be expelled from the blood and body by such an alterative as these Pills. They directly attack the source of the evil, thrust out all mpiit'ities from the circulation restore the distempered organs to their natural state, and correct all defective or contaminated secretions. Such an easy means of instituting health, strength, and cheerfulness should be applied by all whoae stomachs are weak, whose minds ars harassed, or whose brains arc overworked. Holloway's is essentially a blood tempering medicine, whereby its influence reaches the remotest fibre of the ame and effects a universal good. ,
