REPORT ON WAI-RONGOA NATURAL MINERAL WATER SPRINGS, Bottled only at the Springs, NORTH TAIERI, N.Z. /GOVERNMENT REPORT FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES-It is invaluable for maintaining alkaW-lnce 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 Wa'.-rongoa Springs to the celebrated mineral springs at Plombieres, in France, where the late Emperor Napoleon 111 often visited for the purpose of benefiting hia health. As thß results of my investigation, I em of opinion that, the Wai-rongoa Mineral Water Springs are of perfect purity and especially suitable for preparing a high class natural Mineral Water. A. G.

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, Errington, Rancor, and Euroc'ydon which ran second in the autumn challenge stakes.
