'' GORTON, by Thunderbolt—Lyra, is a chestnut, stands nearly 17 hands high, and his Pedigree .hows him to be descended both on dam and sire's sides, from the most successful raciiag stock in England. Thunderbolt was probably the roost brilliant horae in England of his day, having beaten Buccaneer (who ia credited with the fa-teat mile on record—l.3B), the only time they met; he is also The sire of some of the greatest racehorses in England. The Eedigree of Lyra speaks for itself, being y 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, Errington, Rancor, and Euroclydon which ran second in the autumn Challenge Stakes and won the New Zealand Cup, Derby, and Canter bury Cup.

I may compare the Wai-rongoa Springs to the celebrated mineral springs at \ Plombieres, in France, where the late Emperor Napoleon 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 purity and especiallysuitablefor preparing high class natural Mineral Water. A. G.
