FIRE IN A MINE

Sydney, July 22 Fire began at midnight in Block Eleven mine, Broken Hill, dense volumes of smoke and flame arising from the southern mine. It is not known which level is burning. There is no one in the mine. The fire in Block 11. mine has been raging all day, and is gaining ground- Work in the mine is suspended, and efforts are directed to confining the fire to the upper levels, where it started. All the channels and passages are being blocked, with the object of smothering the flames, and large quan tities of water are being poured in from the adjacent mines and dams. If this fails, preparations are made, as a last resort, to fire heavy charges of powd«r and cause the ground to sub side, to prevent the fire spreading.

OUR RACES.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sir,—-The trouble of the Ashburton Racing Club, as disclosed by the annual report, embolden me to ask you for space Things used not to be so bad with the Club, end in spite of bad times the causes are ether, and not far to seek. Put on your thinking cap for a minute or two, and call to mind how things were wont to hum at our race meetings. Is it not a fact that they were looked forwaid to as picnics for all hands V We took our wives and little ones. Fun/ was fast and furious—-doodle-em-bucks, merry-go-rounds, &c, any amount of amuse ment for the youngsters; and a half-crown sweep for the old 'uns, In fact a general go-as-you-please race ier happiness. Now, pleasure ha 3 been made a business. The women and children have been driven from the ground by the demon of gambling. The totalisator tyrant has done more harm to sport pure and simple than all the bookies : and monte tables combined. Betting, or book-making, which lequires a deal of skill, is now reduced to so simple a matter that

the most ignorant can invest by means of that curse of the colony, the tote Bhop ; and the gate money and pocket money is now planked down in sums of one shilling and upwards in the East street tote shops by lads scarce out of thfir

teens, and weekly wage men with families. Watch the footpath upon the day of any race meeting, local or otherwise, and you will soon see what I mean. I know one man who is always growling about bad times, and earns a good deal from a local body not a hundred miles distant from the library, who always has tote shop tickets on him. Another one who, last Dunedin Birthday meeting, sent a member of hia family down with a handfal of notes for investment, and he is always complaining he can't get work and can'c pay his way. These are hard-pan facts, and I "can give you the names if necessary (though not for publication). If the Club really "wants to do I its duty— i,e, find amusement for the j people—Let it

(1) Take such steps as will stop the tote shop nuisance.

j (2) Combine such other amusement with | the racing as will attract our families to eDjoy a day's outing, (3) Make the races entirely district ones, instead of ..trying to emulate the Melbourne Cup, andjnake a trial of joining With the Caledonian Society to give us a good day's fun on Boxing Day.

Sib,—l consider it my duty to add my testimony to the marvellous efieota of the remedies I got from you on my horse. He got bo bad that I had to lay him up, No matter what I gave him he kept losing condition and became co weak that ha could scarcely stand. I carefuly followed the direc tions on the bottles and shortly after gett« ing the last bottle he passed bots, and at once began to mend, and in a few days was fit for bis work. lam confident only for the remedy he would have died.
