A Heavy Gale

Sydney, December 23 | A heavy southerly gale has befn | razing along the coast for the past few days, but is now moderating. Some anxiety is felt for the safety of the ship Glenfinlas, which left Sydney in tow of the steamer Phoebe te load coal at Newcastle for Lyttelton, There have been nosigns since ci either vessel. It is possible that the ship broke adrift from the tug and went to sea ■while the tug is waiting to pick her up again. Considerable damage was caused to shipping at iMe^castle. Several vessels attempted to enter, but were forced to put to sea again. Newcastle, Deceuaher 23 The barque Durisdeer, from Simon's Bay, w ashore on North Beach. The crew were rescued by the rocket brigade. Salvage operations are proceeding. The weather is rough and the barque's position is bad, so that it is not un likely that she may break up. A tug tried to bring in the barque Durisdeer, but the rope broke, and the vessel was thrown high and dry on the beach, and is now lying broadside to sea, with her yards dipping in the water.

THE THOROUGHBRED STALLION GORTON WILL TRAVEL THIS SEASON IN THE ASHBURTON" COUNTY, and Stond at his Owner's Farm. GORTON, by Thunderbolt—Lyra, is a chestnut, stands nearly 17 hands high, and his Pedigree bhows him to be descended both on dam and sire's sides, from the most successful racing stock in England. Thunderbolt was probably the most brilliant horße in England of his day, having beaten Buccaneer (who is credited with the fastest mile on record—l.3B), the only time they met; he'is also The sire of some of the greatest racehorses in England. The pedigree of Lyra speaks for itself, being by Thormanby (sire of Albany), one of England's most fashionable sires, out of a Touchstone mare. Gorton is the sire of such well-known per formers as B izzard, St Malo, Pique, Con jurer, Emmason, Langley, Enfield, Mistral, Rothamstead, Warrington, Jfiirington, Rancor, and Eurocsydon which ran second in the autumn Challenge Stakes and won the New Zealand Cup, Derby, and Canter bury Cup.

REPORT ON WAI-RONGOA NATURAL MINERAL WATER SPRINGS, Bottled only at the Springs, NORTH TAIERI, N.Z. GOVERNMENT REPORT FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSKS—It is invaluable for maintaining alkalescence of the blood, and, therefore, this particular water will be much more beneficial for that purpose than preparations of mineral water much stronger, artificially pro duced. I may compare the Wai-rongoa Springs to the celebrated mineral springs at PJombieres, in France, where the late Emperor Isapoleon 111 often visited for the purpose of benefiting his health. As the results of my investigation, I am of opinion that; the Wai-rongoa Mineral Water Springs are of perfect parity and especially suitable for preparing a high class natural Mineral Water. A. G.
