The Schools' Excursion

* Such a gathering of school children was never before seen m Ashburton as that which assembled at the railway station this morning, to take advantage of the generous invitation of Mr &. Lr. Wright, M.H.R., to spend a day m the Springburn bush. Train accommodation was provided for two thousnnd children and adults, and the glorious morning caused this to be taxed to the utmost. The Ashburton, Hampstead, and some of the smaller town and country schools assembled m their stan dards and received tickets, then embark ing under the direction of their teachers and the members of their School Com mittees m excellent order. The first train took the Ashburton and Hampstead schools, with the accompanying adults, and must have had quite twelve hundred passengers on board when it moved off, punctuelly at 9.20. This train stopped only at Tinwald until Mount Somers was reached, The second train left Ashbur ton with four or five hundred on board making several stoppages. Mr Wright was on the platform and was most energetic, m seeing that all went right—which it did.

Our reporter telegraphed from Mount Somers at noon :— Mr Wright's first train, of seven covered trucks and eleven passenger cars, left punctually at 9.20. It was under Guard JBrittenden's care, and did not stop, except at Tinwald. till the destination was reached. In this train there were over 1000 souls, children and adults, being the Hampstead and Ashburtyn contingent. The second train, of seventeen carriages, conveyed all the country schools, picking up the Tinwald, Westerfield and Mayfield schools, the latter at Valetta. The first train arrived at 11.10, the second at 11.40. There is splendid weather, and the arrangements are perfect and the children m high glee. There are over 2000 passengers m all, and the trip cannot have cost the liberal donor less than £120. Many went to the caves at Mount Somers.

Certainly the Most Effective MEDICINE m . the world is SANDER and SONS : EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. Test its eminent powerful effects m Coughs, Colds, Influenza, etc.; the relief is instantaneous. Thousands gave the most gratifying testimony. Read this certificate:--"24th April, 1885 -r Messrs Sander and Sons,—lt is with the greatest of pleasure that I testify to the excellence of your Eucalypti Extract. Having had inflammation of the bone of the leg, which came on after a severe attack of i'.ow 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 than an hour when I began to feel greatly relieved. After applying the extract every four hcurafor nine or ten days it was out of all danger. I would persuade al who may be effected with any such disease to give the Eucalypti Extract a trial, and I am convinced that they will find it %hs most wonderful of medicines,—Youis, «tc., E J.
