The boom in diau^ht horses appears to be general over the colony, and the following \ ought to he, intetvs ing. I'^ i* ifll 'xtract, from the Daily Times 1 report of the s^tciwl | Bale of Clvdesdaks at Dunedin held ou | Thursday by Messrs W.ight, Slephenßon, and Co. -.—The report saya tha* owing to | the publicity given to the sale iher« was the ■ largest turn out of sfcnck yet feen in Dunedin, no less than 116 head being hooked. Ti-e entries included some very clr.ne animal*, those from Roughc.aig f«rm (Mr Waddell a) Urv Park (Mr Charter-,'), Braemore (Mrs Mil'er'o), Cherry fai-ti-. ( r Mcßride'*). Keith Hall (Mr William ShaudV), heUrange (Mr ■ Nimmo'a), and Mr William Robinson, s beu.R the pick. There was v great atley.W, buyers being present from as far as Wamute in the north and from hll th* lnteimediate districts to the Clntha. Kea^y up top youna mares and gddings met wrh g.-ori Competition, and in shese very eatisfaotorj business was done Buy ere, however, were somewhat particular, »n I wh .never Hip oommoner class or aged animals were broutbt under the hamtn r there waa a lull n tne bidding, am* sake were very difiiou t to eJW—in fact, only a few of the aged horse' chanced bauds,—but with very few exoep tions all of the best animals offered were s< Id at prices which must h-iv* b.en oheenog to the breeders, ''he hiaheet price offered during the day was £48 (by a well-kno»i. Taieri breeder) for Mr W. Robinson's prize three-year-old filly by Gallant L»d, out of Maggie, by Lord Clyde. The fe«tun; of the sale was the magnificent dr.Jt or four-year-old mares and geldings—nine w number-from Mr ffm. Waddell (of Rough ortig farm), all of his own breeding, ami by the well known stud horse Lord Id'-es eigh The handsome prices the horses realised is the best indication we cm give ot th.-ir quality and breeding The mares made up to £39 and the geldings to £35, the average all over being almost £32. Mr Robert Chartera's well-known five-year-old m re Lady Glasgow, by Hia Wo ship, out of Jewel 111., was greatly fancied, and made £40, a» which price she became the property of ■■ South Canterbury settler.

f some years I was \ jllllillpiiiilllr \, f quite out of health, and \ \ \ / took much medicine l MBS§=^gsS \± \ I which did me no good. 1 \ |i!yHs|^sgi \ / was advised by a friend tol \ \ I try Ayer's SarsaparillaV ) A / which I did, taking a dozen\ J§^§g^^§jo ( >/ I or more bottles before stop-\ \s^ I ping. The result was that I\ i^^^^^^^^ /felt so we! 9 and strong! / I that I, of course, think there is \ I $W \r^ jno medicine equal to Ayer's Sar- \ / £r \| • I saparilla, and I take great pains \ f., / j /to tell any suffering friend of it and \ M' V li \ I what it did for me."—Mrs. L. A. \ \ \\ \t \ 1 Murray, Kilbourn,Wis.,Feb.n,lß96. \ I #■ r! \ WEIGHTY WOROS J^ W Ayer?s Sarsaparilla. m The above are indeed weighty words, of great import and value to thousands of pale-faced, languid men and women, now tired and worn out with worry, overwork, and disease, and who would be made well and strong by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Read also the following interesting testimony of a prominent athlete: 627 Bourke St., Stjrry Hills," Sydney,- New South Wales, June 21, 1885. "After being a victim to Typhoid, Brain, and Bheuinatic fevers, in 1892, my system was left in a terrible condition. Besides being very weak, I had numerous abscesses on the lower part of my back and spine, from which a great number of pieces of bone were taken. As fast as an abscess would appear and was lanced another would form. I was treated at two different hospitals without success. The surgeons in attendance informed me that I was suffering from blood poison. The abscesses continued to appear, and I was never without pain, till six months ago I was induced to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. When I had taken the first bottle I found an improvement, and after finishing twelve bottles to-day I feel as well as ever I did in my life; the abscesses have ceased to come, the old ones are all healed, and my health is splendid. Before I used the Sarsaparilla I weighed 154 lbs., and now, after using a dozen bottles, my weight is 200 lbs., which is a sure sign that I have been taking the Champion Blood-Purifier of the world."—George W. Walker, "Jumbo," Champion Poot-baller of New So. Wales. Ayer's Sarsaparilla, The Strength-Giver and Blood-Purifier.
