He also used to drive Berlin's full brother, Mambrino Dudley ; and Mr Woodruff says in his book on trotting—"lf ever there was a horse which could trot a mile in 2 minutes Mambrino Dudley could before seeing so much stud duty.

TO STAND at Methven and TRAVEL in the Rakaia and Methven Districts, THE PUREBRED AND HIGH-CLASS CLYDESDALE ENTIRE AWAMOA, AWAMOA is by the champion horse Youcg Banker (1, N Z. Stud Book) imported from Scotland by the Hon Matthew Holmes. Dam, Lena, imported from Scot land, by Luck's AHj g4t Jessie Brown, imported, by Old Times, dam by Loohfergu Champion. AWAMOA is therefore a horse of great lineage ; in fact he is one of the best bred horses in the world. On one side he is sprung from Prince of Wales, and on. the other from Lochfergus ; and anyone wl»o pretends to knowledge in these matters understands that these two sires were the most successful stud horses that the world has ever kuown, Awamoa has been a most successful breeder, The colfc Regent was never beaten in the ring, and lowered the colors of the famous British Lion when only two years old, and was sold at 350 guineas The filly Nonpareil 11. has never been beaten wherever shown. It would occupy too much space to enumerate and comment on all prizetakers that have sprung from Awamoa Besides b.,*ing a great breeder, Awamoa had a good career in the chpw ring. As a yearling he took first prize at jGfaniafu, fjrs at Christchurch, first at Timaru, and first ac Dunedin j as a two-year-old, first at Ghrist church and second at Oamaru j as a three year-old, first at Oamaru and champion of the yard ; following year second at Oamaru and second at Timaru ; and when seven years old was champion at Oamaru. Ib will thus be seen that Awamoa has been successful in the ring ; he has been' very successful as a breeder ; he has proved himself a sure foal getter; hence his value aa a sire, and breeders sftould not miss such a chance, as they have not had such a stallion in the district before. Terms—Guarantees, four guineas. Season mates as per agreement. Grooinage fee §a, payable first service. All mares changing hand;? in any way, first owners will be held, liable, i For particulars apply to SAMUEL TIERNB7, Proprietor, 9flßs Or 'Sroom in charge.

Allother crude oils are to be classed among the turpentines, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. Theße so called Eucalypti Extracts, which may have received dist nctiori at Exhibitions 'as commercial articles and are used for mechanical pur poses only are discernible : — 1.
