Sporting Notes.

BY "SENBX.")

A contemporary states that it ia very im- I probable that any attempt will be nwde this j session to abolish the totaliaator. Mr Camel!, the champion of the Bill fur the abolition of the machine, having "lost the number of hia mesa," it is expected that tbe totaliaator will be " turned out for a spell." The weights for the Great Autumn and Great E ister Handicaps are due to be de clared on Friday, March 19. Telemeter is putting in good work with a view to autumn racing. Skirmisher seems to be a very unlucky horse ; in faofc very few horses can give him points at running into second b> rth. There is hardly an important race in which he competes that he does not get placed. To be "so near and yet so far " mußt be very vexing for his connections. Messrs Stephenson and Hazlett failed to Boore a win at tho Dunedin meeting. This is something unusual for them, aa they rarely go away empty handed. According to reports their hrrßes were in capital trim, and tha only reason assigned for non-smcess was that the opposition waß too strong. It is a Btraoge thing, and often proves correct, that followers of the turf that f til to score in some instances neglect to invest when they really think their choice cannot be put dowo. A c&bb in point happened in connection with the Außtralnn Cup. A local Bportsman fancied Coil for the race in S question, and furth. r, made no secret of the act. In conversation on the subject I enquired if he had invested on Coil, and was replied to in the negative. Subsequently it turned out that Coil had won, and the ■portsman a'luded to had lost his chance. Procrastination in this instance lost my friend a few pounds, who by the way, is not the worst hand I have come acrosß at picking Australian events. Although I happened to be one of the many that did not think Coil ooold actually prove master of the situation, I could not help swaying & little to the opinion of my friend, who proved conolu sfvely and oorrectly that Coil must win if paper was anything to go by.

JOSEPH LLOYD, June., PROPRIETOR. THE Duke of Wellington carried a tender heart beneath a stern appearance. He is said to have been in tears the greater part of the day succeeding his great victory, and pathetic indeed, is the exclamation attributed to him, "Believe me, there is nothing more terrible than a battle won, except a battle lost." But who can describe a man's anger —controlled of course—where, every pre paration having been made for an urgent journey, every!hing is lost through the horse falling lame ; and the man—always the man—is the object of our pity. The horse's unuttered Bufferings are rarely thought of, beyond the removal of the shoe (often unskilfully done) and an imprecation upon the blacksmith. The owner ought to consider his servant's comfort, who, could he speak, would say, " I uttered no com plaint until forced; I used to be treated with greateafc consideration and kindness, and a journey was always a pleasure to me when my shoeing was under the personal care of MR KINGSTON. 2 17 WAHOOI THE CURE FOR INDIGESTION.

Benjamin, editor of the Spectator, Rushford, N.Y., says : " It may be a plea sure to you to know the high esteem in which Chamberlain's medicines are held by the people of your own State, where they must be best known. An aunt of mine, who resides at Dexter, lowa, waa about to visit me a few years since, and before leaving home wrote me, asking if they were sold here, stating if they were not she would bring a quantity with her, as she did not I like to be without them." The medicines ! referred to are Chamberlain's Cough Remedy I famous for its cures of colds and croup; Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rheumatism, lame back, pains in the side and chest, and Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhce i Remedy for bowel complaints. These medicines have been in constant use in lowa for almost a quarter of a century. The people have learned that they are articles of | great worth and merit, and unequalled by any other.
