COMMEBOL&L ashburtoiTmarkbtb. Mr David Thomas reports as follows upon the live stock market in the Aahbuitou county for the week ending May 28 :— On Tuesday at the Ashburlon Yards the usual weekly sale was held, The attendance was an average one, and amongst those present were several buyers not very eager in thdr bidding ; yet a fair clearance waa made. In the sheep yard were a large line of merin ■ wethers, and owing to the scarcity of feed a low price had to be accepted for them. There was also a line of Lake Heron merino ewes which met with a bad market.. The f >ct that they were not ia lamb waa against them, and owing to the long distance they would have to iravel the owner preferred to accept the price offered rather tha;i send them back. Several good lines of turnip aheep were en'ered for this fix ure. One line I sold on account of Mr T. E. Upton realised 12s lOd ; they were four-tooth principally fat. Oiher lines sold from 10a to lla 9J. The cattle market was again very dull, and butchcis were keen on prime fat cattL only ; notably amongst this class were two fab steers sent forward from Laghmor, which realised £8 103 each, pad were purchased by Mr S'ilcock. Tin total yarding for the day consisted of 6339 sheep, 27 head of cattle, and 13 pig*. My entry comprised 2593 sheep, 16 head of cattle, and 4 pige, which I di- posed of at, the following prices:— Sheep—29 fat m riuo ewes 6s, 21 me riuo ewes 53 3 1, 20 fat cross breds 7s, 27 fat lambs 8-, 135 twn-too:h croßßbred wethers loi sd, 139 two-tooth crossbred ewea and wethers S-j 10fl, 451 eight-tooth crossbred ewes 7s, 59 merin o wethers 6s, 650 merino ewes 2% 89 two and four-tooth crossbred ewea and wether-9* 3i, " 31l four-tooth crossbred wethers 12s 10d, 201 two and four-tooth eros-bred wethers 9s bi } 224 two-tooth crossbred ewes and wethers Bs, 194 four-tooth wethera lls SH.

If horse-racing is threatened, cyclinp '• booms " (says the Liverpool Courier) If i anyone ten years ago had prophesied such a boom in the pastime as has been witnessed since 1893 h« would have been laughed at for his pains. Nothing quite like ifc has ever been known b:'foie in the hisfory of crazes. The estimated number of " wheel men " on the globe's surface has been put down by a statistician as 33 million? 1, or nearly the entire population of England, Scotland, and Wales. Then, too, the mar vellous riding records are being broken every week. The record mile ridden by Hamiiton. of Goronada, is registered as 1 minute 39J seconds, This is startling enough, but theie is now a whisper gung round that a chain less bicycle on an entirely naw principle has been tried in the neighborhood of London with a 1 minute 14 seconds result. It is further maintained that the new machine can be easily ridden on an ordinary road to do a mile in two minutes with less than half the driving exerci n now needed to ride a! average speed. Apart from this marvel, cycle compaoi s are doing a marvellous business. The workers in Coventry are as busy as bees, and the company promoters are searehiii:* everywhere for cycle concent i:o swe 11 iho iist of 1 mited liability eompaiU' s.

Children who are subject to ifc take cold very easily and croup is almost sure to follow, xhe fir*' symptom is hoarseness ; this is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough, which is easily recognised and will never be forgotten by one who has heard it.
