SPORTING.

(Notes by Senex )

The runuing of horses at. Hawke'a By last week threw vely little light ou the N<;w Zealand Cup. Several Cup hoisoa per formed there, but very indifferently, aud their chances so far need not be setiously dilated upon. One of the most promising light-weights this season so far is T. Cotton, juur. This lad has only been ia the saddle in public a few times and has acquitted, himself well on every occasion. He has a first-class style of getting his mount away well, which ia half j the battle over a sprint course. It is nob unlikely that a petition will be presented to the Canterbury Jockey Club asking for the licen*e to be renewed to James Lee'son; This rider i< now connected with a respectable fctainiDg establishment, and his prospects are greatly marred through hia being unable to get hia license. Perhaps the powers that he will reverse their former decisions, and give Leeson an opportunity of recouping hia lost time, and placing him self on a firm footing. , The OauSeld Cap will be ran to-morrow. The following may be prominent—Trent 1, Malto 2, Ayrshire 3.

SACTDEft* Jk> sons JEuoa lypd Extract. Under the distinguished patronage of His Majesty the King of Italy, as per communica tion made by the Minister for Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 14, 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract lv the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not; be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, whioh is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per Information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state :— It s proved by teste by the Medical Clinics the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz, Professor of Parmaoology, at Bon, and Professor Dk Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substancos, adherent to primary distillation; will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant Allcrude oils, or so called Kuoalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which are abandoned long since as an internal c dioament. These crude oils, or so-called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible: 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour— whioh our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. 3 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. I If these crude oils, so called eucalypt extracts; are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal inflamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.

Stud Notices, THE PUREBRED CLYDESDALE STALLION KING OF QUALITY Will Stand at Owner's Farm, Willowby, and travel Longbeach, Wakanui, Westerfield and Ashburton Forks Districts. Will beat Newman's Stables every SATURDAY.



KING OF QUALITY is a dapple bay, rising five years old, bred by Mr R. Gawn, North Taieri. He is a colt of great substance and power, with many points to recommend him to a breeder, has splendid feet and pasterns, also great bone, clean and flowing with nice silky hair—the true badge of a well bred Ciydesdaie. Ho is a prime mover, has good temper, and sound con stitution. His sire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Rie, from Scotland, by j Argyle (2567 vol vi.), dam Darling by i Prince of Wales, (673, vol. i), grand dam Maggie, by Lockend Champion (448, vol. i). > Lion King was first at Dunedin Show as a l three-year-old, first at Dunedin in 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his progeny.' Lion King's dam Scotch Annie (imported from Scotland ; 343, N.Z.5.8.) was a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She was shown in New Zealand four times, gaining first and champion upon each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, 5.C.5.8.); grand sire Ivanhoe Ist (imported ; 113, N.Z.5.8.) He was got by the great Sir YValterSeott, whose breeding neods nocomment. Lion King's sire, British Lion, is so favorably knowD as to need no oomment. He was considered by competent judges to be one of the best horses ever landed in New Zealand.



King of Quality's dam, Queen of Quality, (608, N Z. 5.8.) show yard career is so well and favorably known to breeders, that it is needless to go into details; suffice it to say, she has taken 14 first prizes and seven champions; among the others she was champion mare at the Exhibition Show, Dunedin. This career has stamped her as a I mare of unusual excellence; her sire is the far-famed Lord Salisbury, who retired from the show ring an unbeaten horse. Queen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. ; 113, |S. 15.) 1 King of Quality as a yearling gained first ; prize at Taieri Show, and second at Dunedin, und as a three-year-old first at Taieri and second at Dunedin, It will be seen from ihe above that King of Quality is descended from the purest strains of prize-taking Clydesdale blood, and cannot fail to make a name for himself as a sire.
