Dunedin, February 23. The weather is veiy fine with every prospect of a.delightful week. The only feature m this morning's work at Forbury waa a splendid mile gallcp by.Crackshot. Occident was not on the track, being re stricted to walking exercise on the beach. There is more interest m this year's Cup than there has been m any Cup since Vanguard's, and there is a large amount of speculation. "The Admiral "m the "Star" pronounces for Occident, with Merrie England and Cruchfield to fill the places; while "Mazeppa" plumps for Cruchfield. Merrie England who will have Derrett'a services is second favorite, while Cruchfield's price is now fours. Prime Warden and Rosefeldt each have a good folbwingi neither may effect a sur prise, Sharp will ride Occident and Buddicombe will probably have the mount on Cruchfield. The Champagne Stakes ought to provide a splendid tussle between DayjDream and Stepniak. The Pubiican's Jays between Clanranald, Heather Bell and Huguenot, all being very fit.

The Washerwoman's Song.

Wring out tho old, wring out the new, Wiins out the black, wring out the grey, Wring out the white, wring out tie blue— And thus 1 wring my life away. An occupation strange is mine ; At least it seems to people droll That while I'm working at the line I'm going, too, from pole to pole. Where'er I go I strive to please, From morn to night I rub and rub ; I'm something like Diogenes— I almost live within a tub. To acrobats who vault and spring Tn circuses I take a shine ; j They mane their living m the ring, And by the wringer I make mine. My calling's humble IH agree, But I am no cheap calico, As some folks are who sneer at me, I'm something that will wash you know. I smile m calm, I strive m storm, With life's stem difficulties cope, My duties cheerfully perform, My motto —" While there's life there s soap." Wring out the old, wring out the new, Wring out the black, wring out the grey, Wring out the white, wring out the blue— And thus I wring my life away. —Exchange.

The Rifle Association Meeting.

(PER PEESS ASSOCIATION.)

Wellington, February 20. Major Somerville arrived m town last night and went out to the range at Trentham this morning to get everything m readiness for the opening of the meet ing on the Bth prox. The camp will be m command of Major Arthur Douglas, of Canterbury, not Lieutenant-Colonel Newall as previously telegraphed. Dr Lemon has made arrangements for tele graph lines being carried on to the range, and the Morse instrument will be placed m close proximity to the Press room, Major Somerville is experiencing consider able difficulty m regard to catering, being unable to secure anyone to undertake to i contract. He expects, however, to make satisfactory arrangements next week. He anticipates that the meeting will be a large one, and not less than two hundred and fifty competitors are looked for.

The First Railway in Jerusalem.

The first railway m Jerusalem will le opened m the spring of the coming year (says the London "Standard"). It is a short line, running only from Joppa, the nearest port on the Mediterranean, and intended to accommodate the growing passenger and other traffic between that place and the Holy City. The work of construction is being carried out by a French Company, who bbgan laying down the line m April, 1890. It is fully expected that the speculation will be a paying one, The company anticipates, at all'events, making large profits, after paying the shareholders a guaranteed interest of 5 per cent. It is stated that over 40,000 persons land at Joppa every year, m order to make a pilgrimage to •Jerusalem and other spots celebrated m sacred history. The number of steamers and other vessels putting into the port of Joppa is now upward of 800 a year, the destination of mosi ot' the passengers and merchandise they convey being the cipitalof Palestine. In evidence of the recent rapid growth of the traffic, it may be mentioned that Joppa has trebled its population within the last thirty years. Tourists will be able to take a leturn ticket from the port m question and Jerusalem for 29 francs, and, what is more, they will be able to do the journey m a far shorter time with infinitely greater safety than hitherto. The rush of tourists from all parts of the civilised world to Jerusalem will, if the expecta tions of the promoters are fulfilled, be something phenomenal m the immediate futKre,

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 — 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 low fever, I was attended by Dr J. Boycl, 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 hours for nine or ten days it was out of all danger. I would persur.de 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 the most wonderful of medicines.—Youis etc., E J.
