There waa a large attendance ot farmers and otherg, but owing to the dry weather bidding was nofc ken. Ewes and lambs, both crossbred and merino, suffered most in this respect. The total catalogued presented for the day consisted of 5076 sheep and 30 head of cattle, of which my entry comprised 2812 aheep and 20 head of cattle. With the ex ception of two lines of ewes and lambs turned out unsold, all the rest were disposed of at prices as under:—Fat sheep—2 fat erossbreds 14a 3d, 9 fat merino ewes 9*, 29 erossbreds 12s, 29 at 13s 61, 12 erossbreds 12s Id, 22 merino ewes 6i 9J, 124 merino wethers 10b 4d.

Adelaide, So. Australia, whose portrait is given above: "Some years ago, I suffered very severely from soreness and general weakness of the system, being so bitdly affected that I feared even to go from one room to another, on account of the strange objects that appeared to Hit before me. My doctor, after treating me for some time, without any benefit, at last recommended me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I took his advice, and am pleased to say that the effect was really wonderful. Vigour was restored to my system, my nerves were strengthened, my spirits brightened, and I was enabled to return to my usual occupations. I might say that several of my friends and relatives have used Ayer's Sarsaparilla with like beneficial results. I believe it to be the best health - restorer that lias ever been offered to the suffering masses." A%£§ m g%9fo 0* THE ONLY YLK 5 Sarsaparilla With Highest Awards at the World's Great Expositions.

GOVERNMENT REPORT o I'OR MEDICIN AL PURPOSES—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 H_a_peror Napoleon HI 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 a high class natural Mineral Water. | A. G.
