NOTES BY "SENEX." 1 Ihe Hawke's Bay Guineas will be rua for j Cap falls duo on October 15. Id is stated that the services of a first class horseman have been retained to ride Wainku ia the New Z taUnd Cap. The win of the local colt, Doub c Event, waa a very popular one here, and the Messrs i Friedlander and the trainer, Mr Josh Lewis, were heartily congratulated over their limaru Cup victory. Although the colt, according to reports, onW got home by a I small margin, it appeira that he won eafciiy, j and could have shook off anything that I tackled him at the finish. . j The indifferent display shown by blur- I misher detracts somewhat from his Cup I prospects. Altogether the chance ot the I New Zealand Cup being o.tptnred by a I Canterbury horse ihia year seems at present I to be a very remote one. I The recent acoidenb at Auckland by whioh I Lady Anna and another horse came into j collision, resulting in the death of .both howea, and their ciders severely injured, I adds one more to the list of unforcunate I affairs that tend to mar colonial aporfc. An I accident similar to this happened at Onmt-j Ohwch iome time ago, when P.nrose came iatjo collision with another horse, and since I then the Canterbury Jockey Club have forbidden trainers to gallop their hones « opposite direotions, except on ooniition-that only one horse is on the track at the same tfaM. m& ii req Ul red to work the opposite wav with a view to competing on a left- | ffied oourae. With such a J^mUtot horses at work aa there are at Ricoar on Sto a big meeting, the tactics adopted W Lady Anaa and her oompamon if per-1 aiated in on the metropolitan training track 1 wou'd be dangerous in the extreme, and 1 doubtless result in loss of life. James Leeaon, the well-known horseman, has secured an appointment with Mr *. Busch, of Rangiora His friends here will wish him success in his new quarters. Ine Canterbury Jockey Club have refrained from granting a license to Laeson for a considerable time past, and aa he has now taken a new lease of life, that body may be induced to overlook the past and grant him a license. Leoson is a first-olass horseman, and it seems a pity that a man of his abmty should be compelled to stand down, espe cially when riders of the stamp ot Leeson are rather at a discount in this colony.

The vendor to receive £1000 in shares, and £500 in cash for the rights acquired by him, the whole interest in, and the title to which are handed over to the Company. It is proposed by the promoters of thia Company, that when formed, the Company proceed with the manufacture of the Blight Specific, and dispose of the same to the best advantage, and it is confidently anticipated that the sale of the above men tioned specific which is increasing daily, wilt realise a very handsome return to the shareholders. The mixture can be safely applied to al parts of the tree from the fall of the leaf till the bursting of the buds again in Spring, The stem and main branches may be safely dressed at any period of the year. One good dressing will "be found a most effectual cure for Scale Blight, and the tree will aot re quire further dressing for years. \ For Aphis, Red Spider, Codlin Moth, and i all Mosses or Lichens, Wheelband's Patent ] Blight Specific will be found a moat effectual remedy. It will also promote a healthy vigorous growth of wood, and a plentiful crop of prime, clean fruit. The above advantages are admitted by leading Nursery Experts as being the only means of destroying Scale Blight and Codlin Molh, increasing the growth and keeping the tree in a fresh and healthy condition at a cheap and reasonable cost. In confirma tion that the Specific possesses the requisite qualities it is gratifying to be able to herein add the very satisfactory reports of the ex ceedingly severe tests to which the Specific has been subject :d. The specific being manufactured under th( oare and supeivision of the patentee can bo sold at: the sm&ll cost of 10s per gallon, which will undoubtedly leave the Company a handsome profit.
