SPORTING.

NOTES BY "SENEX.'

It is very clear that some alteration shouU be made in the rues under which horses compote for trotting races. The recent disqualification of Bed of Stone for being on the forfeib list, and thereby nob being eligible to compete in the race which she won, has given a wide tcope for adverse comment. I bave it on the beat author ity that} Cotton had the secretary's verbal consent that the mare was qualified to start in the event which she won, and also that the amount was paid »n<l that she would be all right as far as the forfeit liat was con cerned. The question, therefore, resolves itself into this : Is a horse considered a defaulter after arrears are paid up 1 One oi the rules reads " that i horße must be c ear of all forfeits before being nominated for any race or races to be dt-cided af'er the said horse has been declared on the list. 5 This is evidently the rule under which the marc was diiqnali&ed. The, solicitors for the Canterbury Trotting Club advised their clients to pay out on the second horse, and the Club accordingly did so. However, some definite rule (should be laid down prohibiting secretaries from receiving nomi nations from owners whose horses are on the list, tn'ds guarding the sporting public from falling into a trap, which the unwary are too frequently the victims. Lsrd Rolelyn i» going on all right m h» preparation for spring engagements, and the doughty son of St Clair is expected to have a good four-year-old career. The hoof that gave bo much trouble last season is now quite sound. . „ Cannonehot has come to life again. H< has been nominated for the two important events at the Timarta meeting, and will doubtless sport silk there. Kuku, who ran in the nomination of Mr 3. 0. N. Grigg at the National meeting, was purchased some time ago for the modesi Sum of £12. Ab that price he must be considered a cheap hone, as he won both his races in ho low fashion. Dromedary, who fell at the last fence in the National, has since gone lame in the hindquarters. Arnott, the rider, is now out of danger. The latter, on beiog interviewed, eaid that he considered the mare's chance sesond to none prior to the collision. Blarney, should he start in the New Zealand Cup, will have the services of C. Jenkins,

S ANDES« Sc »ons Euea !ypii Extract.



There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market now, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALN PTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government i to be of perfectly pure origin, as their information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state :— It proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifawald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor j of Parmacology, ftt Bon, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that only products that art saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the pant according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr. Lister, of England, and to Drs. Bsuer, Mclotire, Wood, Hazard, etc, of America, is the only extract correspond ing to scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. AH other crude oils ar« to ba clap.aed among the turpentines, which have, whec used as medicine, no therapeutic effect, and are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so-called Eucalypti Extract which may have received diatinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles are used for mechanical purposes are only discernible. By their deficiency in pundgenb odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracts develops most freely through its surplus of oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If those crude oils, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal itiflamfttions, dysentery, wemuds, the consequences are appalling. For safety always ask for SANDER & SON'S EUCA LYPTI EXTRACT, and get the old, well tested, and reliable preparation.' —Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia. BANDEE & SONS.
