Mayfield Public Sports.

The fifth annual sports gathering we 8 held m Mr James fellow's paddock on Easter Monday, Aptil 6. Contrary to expectation the weather turned out fine, although very threatening m the early part of the day, and gradually grew warmer, much to the com' orb of the spectators, of whom quite a large number assemblei from all the surrounding districts. 'J he takings at the gate showed a slight increase upon those of last year, when thermal was thought very satisfactory. All the events were stubbornly contested. The 100 yards flat race had to be run off m heats, there being fourteen entries. As will be seen from details given below, the money was well scattered among the various districts. The programme was got through comfortably ere the shades of evening fell, all the office-be trets woiking! energetically to accomplish this end, as the programme was a lengthy one. The children's programme is t> special feature of these popular sportp, and qnite a 'arge amount is well spent m useful priz ;s for the youngsters This department was under the care of Messrs James Dellow and H. Rayner, and each and every child was made happy with, * prize, either won by competition or donated m a gift. The booth was under the able management of Mrs James Dellow and her numerous assistants* who set up , bountiful luncheon, and at the same time suitable >to the most epicurean taste. The tide ehowt this year were quite a feature, and greatly added to the enjoyment of the spectators. The course, after the late rains, was rather toft to start jWith, but as the day wore on gradually got firmer. A concert took plaoe m the school m the evening, when the room was crowded to the doors The proceeds, which amounted to £4 7s 3d, were unani mously voted towards the relief fund fcjp the sufferers by the Brunnerton 'disaster, to which was added about £6, collected by Mr Kellahan on the grounds during the day. Songs were rendered by Messrs D- Miller, Parkerson and Dellow, and a duet by Mr and Mrs Miller. Ihe former sang m his usual masterly style and e'ioited repeated encores, as also did Mr Parkerson by his rendering of Mb laughable comic songs. Thereafter a most enjoyable dance was kept up till "the wee sma' hour*' with much vigor, Mr M»rk Liddle, the genial M.C., discharging his duties m his usual energetic manner. During the night songs wete rendered by Messrs Liddle and Keid, and step-dances given by MesßrsT. A. Fateraon nnd M. Mathison. Ample refreshments were provided by Mrs Dellow at midnight m the Public Library. Appended are winners m the several events on the programme:—- .. - 100 yds Maiden Race — James Doyle 1, S. B.

The Portable Swing Water Barrow. Prevention ie Better Than Cure THE few cases of Typhoid m Ashbnrton Borough and Suburbs afford no ground for a " scare," but it is only by rising reaßonable precautions that the dread scourge can be kept within bounds. In view of the subject being referred to m the public journals, it may be of service to reprint an extract from an issue of the " Nineteenth Century * of list year, m which special reference is made to Diphtheria, but which applies with equal force to Typhoid. The writer remarks, that the latest epidemics m Russia swept away nearly all the children m some villages ; and m Prussia, no less than one-sixth to one-fourth part of all children dying m the age of from one to five jeare suc- cumbed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed m Western Europe 1 as well. Keen interest is being taken m the experiments of the French Doctors! itoux and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by special bacteria, caused by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally, into and uponwhioh dairy and kitchen slops have been thrown. Without an infection by bacteria or the poisons which they secrete, there is no diphtheria; The Portable Wash Barrow is just the one thing indispensable m the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. By its use, a two-fold benefit is derived. The fever and diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what is otherwise a source of terror becomes an absolute gain, by conveying the waeh to pig trough or to the garden. The Portable Barrows can be put to varions kinds of use, and they are so admirably con- structed that, with them, a child can do work which otherwise requires the strength of mature years. The cost is comparatively small. Possession of one becomes an absolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit, — (o) improved Copper Boilers. I have just received direct from the manufacturers a fresh fitapply of Portable Copper Boilers, with patent smoke stack joint, and Semi-double sheeted frame — galvanised.

It cures disease by removing the eaHse from the system ; it takes- away That Tired Feeling, quickens the appetite, ntid restores . . HEALTH AND STRENGTH to those who have become enervated by climatic or other influences. Out of many thousands of testimonials, we have space here only for the Allowing : Mr. E. Denxis, Adelaide, So. Australia, writes:— "lt is with very much pleasure that J. testify to the great benefit I received from using you* wonderful blond-purifier. I was a sufferer for years from indigestion, lorn of strp.iißl.il and appetite, and constipation. My whole system seemed to be. thoroughly out of order. A friend finally told me to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I followed his advice, though feeling discouraged at the fruitless results of «ther treatment, and I am thankful to state that a few bottles completely cured me." , . Mr. Robert Goodfellow, Mitcham, So. Australia, writes:— "l have used Ayer's Sarsaparilla m my family ior years, mid would not be without it. I used to suffer with boils and skin eruptions, attended with grent lassitude and general debility. In fact, 1 was so ill that I could not attend to my business. Ueing advised to try Ayer's SarsapariJla I did so, and lam happy to say that the medicine restored me to perfect health. 1 have since used Ayer's Sarsaparilla for my children, m various complaints, and it has always proved effective. I can safely recommend it to sufferers as the best blood-purifier m existence." A Record of Half a Century,: Highest Awards at the World's Croat Expositions.
