FOOTBALL.

~» SPRINGBURN V RAKAIA. A football match was played in the Domain on Saturday between the Springburn and Rakaia Clube. Considerable interest was taken in this match on all parts, for the ; teams have not met since Springburn wrested -he banner (Mr D. Thomas' present) from Rakaia, who were the runners up. Previoualy much ill-feeling was shown by both teams, probably through some slight accident on one side being taken as a deliber ate act of the other. 111-feeling always begetß ill-feeling, and as a certain amount was no doubt shown during the tournament of 1895 by both teatm, the public naturally expected another rough and tumble match. It was even hinted during the morning that a stretcher or two would be a necessity on the ground. The weather suddenly changed for the worse, and a heavy south-west rain set in some time before play commenced, and continued all afternoon, making the ball greasy and the gronnd sloppy. The pnblic must have been disappointed, for never was a match played in Ashburton between two teams which showed such good feeling on both sides. It appears the teams had got an inkling that the publio expected something on the rough side, but the teams met on friendly terms, and parted the same. The captains mutually agreed to have Mr J . Cow as referee, and were not disappointed in their choice, for he was very impartial in his decisions, which were always well received, aud never once were they disputed. Per haps never were such lusty cheers given to a referee at the conclusion of a game in Ash burton as thoee given to Mr Cow, and it appears he got another burst of cheering from the Springburn boys as he left the train at Tinwald. The Springburn captain won the toss and elected to play with the wind. His heavy team of forwards at once pnt Rakaia on the defensive, and had it not been for the smart work of the Rakaia backs a score would soon have been put up against them. It waa impossible for the backs to play a passing game owing to the greasy state of the ball and ground, and by good kicking the Rakaia backs more than once saved their goal-line. Only one try was gained during the first spell, and that by' Ironsides, of Springburn. The second spell was mostly confined to dribbling by the forwards, and at the call of time Springburn had added another try to the score, Chapman scoring, thus winning by 6 points to nil. It is impossible to particularise individual play unleßß mention may be made of tbe good play of Westbrooke of Springburn, and Harvey (2) and Gray (the little half) of Rakaia, who played a splendid game, per haps the best on the ground. One notice able feature of the match was the absence of appealing, the game being lefb entirely in the hands of the Referee, which caused the Elay to be very fast. Perhaps had the match een played on dry ground the result might have been different.

News in Brief.

Newlands. — New lands school was crowded 1 on Friday by a most appreciative audience, that had assembled to enjoy the excellent entertainment arranged by Miss Buck, the schoolmistress. The programme was made up of songs and recitations by the children attending the school, and the work done by the little ones showed how painstaking had been the training by the mi tress. S X part scngs were givan by the children both tune fully and in perfect time. To say that much of young children's ohorus work is saying a good deal, but when it ia added that expres * sion was not by any means ignored.it will be understood that Miss Buiok han no reason to be ashamed of her work. The boyß sang a song together, " Right, left, right, left," and the recitations were given by Mabel I Hampton, Nelly Kelly, Minnie Bayliss, Maud Bennison, Frank Mangin, Maggie Bennison, Bertie and Ernie Bennison, and Alfred Williams. Mrs Percy Jones was one of the lady vocalists, and was as usual muoh enjoyed, as was aloo Mrs SymeB 5 excellent items, both ladies being heartily encored. Refreshments were served in abundance, and after the concert a dance was enjoyed, with songs, etc., between the dances. Lodge Anniversary. — The anniversary of the Pride of the Hills Lodge of Good Templars was held in the Staveley Hall, , Springburn, on Friday evening, and took the | form of a tea meeting and concert. The j tables were presided over by the sisters of I the Lodge, while theC.T., Bro. Westbrooke, j presided at the concert. A number of the performers from outside districts did not put in an appearance, owing to the threatening | state of the weather during the afternoon, and consequently the attendance was not so large as waß anticipated. Nevertheless, an enjoyable concert was held, the greater number of the performers being new to the stage, and with a little more confidence will do credit to themselves later on. Songs were sung by Messrs Jago and Syme, and Mesdames Westbrooke (2), and Johnstone j recitations were given by Mr Moses and Mr Brown, and a Scotch reading by Mr Syme, sen., and musioal selections by Misses Hifcchell (2;, and Hood, who also played the accompaniments in their well known pleas* ing style. The great relinquishing sale of boots and shoes now going on at McDonald and McDiarmid s is without parallel in the annals of boot sales in Ashburton. Their stock is particularly heavy in gentlemen's I boots and shoes, and the fact that they are being Bold at marvellously low priceß Bhould be a great inducement to purchasers to buy j while the stook is rich in first-class goods.

' Thousands of the good people who read these articles have grey hairs in plenty. Are you one of them ? If so. do you remember when you saw the first grey j hair— on your head, or in your beard, as the case may bave been ? It was natural enough ; time is a bleacher as well as a dyer : yet the discovery was a surprise, perhaps a shock lo you. You didn't see that grey hair coming. All at once — it was there. j Now behold how many worse things are Ike that, and learn a valuable I lesson. j 'Up to March, 1891,' says Mr John i Murray, ' 1 never had any liness in my ! life. Then, suddenly, as it were, I f_lc lhat something was wrong with me. At firat I had an awful bitter ta9te in the mouth, and after eating I had a pain at the chest and a horrible sensation at the stomaoh, as of a hot iron burning me. 'I vomited all the food [ partook of, and sometimes I threw up blood. No thing I ato would remain on my stomach more than a few minutes, and I was afraid t ; _> take auy solid food. Even milk and Blops distressed me. j • Being unable to leave ths house 1 sent j for a doc cr, who said that my Btom&ch I was ulcerated. He gavu tne medioines of , different kinds-, and recommended applica tion __ ; but nothing gave me any relief, and I grew wcrse and worse. ' In spite of the soothing drops I took I got no sleep niyht t day. Tho pain was eo severe that I couli not lie down in bid. ' After four months suffering I was removed to the Grantown Hospital, where I bad ihe best m.dical treatment and dist. I was fed solely on liquid food, aud my stomach was so hfl .mtd and sore that I threw up most of it. Aftor five weeks in the hospital I was worse than ever and returned home.' 'J here I lingered on in great p-in and weakness month after month. I was now p vie as death and so weak I could not draw one foot after the other. 'Iliad given up all hopes of recovery, and wa^ gradually wasting away, expecting no relief except in death, which I thought oould not be far away. • Thia was in February, 1892. It was then 1 first heard cf Mother Seigels Curative Syrup, and made up my mind to see whether they could possibly be any virtue in it for bo desperate a case as mine. ' Not being able to procure the Syrup In our neighborhood my son wrote to London for a supply. Ig may seem hard to believe, but it ls true, that the first few boxes gave me welcome relit f. Con tinuing to take it I was soon able to take nourishing food, and felt my strength coming back. After a little all pain left' me, and I have never ailed anything since ; but can follow the hounds and— do any kird of work. • I thank my Creator for making Mother Seigel's Syrup known to me, for without it I should now be in ray giave. You are welcome to publish this to ail the world. Signed) John Murray, Cragraore Cottage Abernethey (near Balmoral), Grantown, I August 28. 1893.' j Mr Murray is a man of high character, j and well known in the district. He is iu the employ of D. Jardine, Esq, of Ral rock Lodge. His disease was acute ii fl *mmatory dyspepsia, for an attack of which (uncouscionsly to himself) his tystem had long been preparing. Whab seems a sudden illneasj say* an eminent physician, 'is bub the climax of a series of changes which bave been going on for a considerable time, the sHght warning symptoms not having been noticed by the patient. 1 So grey hairs come. So diseases come. So death comes. Watch for the earlier signs and keep Mother Seigel's Syrup close at hand.
