SPORTING.

NOTES BY "SENEX."

The acceptances for the colony a two principal handicaps of the season, the Great Eister and Great Autumu, are assuring m the highest degree that a great battle will be foughb oub especially m the former race— the most important sprint handicap m the c .kny. Twenty-six horse* have so tar cried aontent with their weight but before the day draws nigh, a few will no doubt be eliminated. To go over the chances of each separate candidate engaged wuuU cover too much space, thereto the ones that stand out m prominence will only be dealt wich at present That coneietent performer, Waiuku, heads the list m both handioape with the steadier of 1C.3 and 10 1 respectively, but it seems rather problematical for him to accomplish the task of giving away so much weight to animals of the stamp of Gold Medallist, Arline, and others. The race, taking it altogether, is very open, and some difficulty is experienced m forming a ■election. At the present time Gold Medallist, Arline, and Amphion, the half. brother to last year's runner-up, Banbot, appear to have a chance. A final selection will be made later on. In the Great Autumn the onances of Zmella, Gold Medallist, andStarshot appear to be the best.

NOTE THIS WELL,— The whole system of a human being may be ■perfectly sound, and yet through derange- ment or weakness the or; Ocb of the boay may perform their functions or their work sluggishly, thus giving rise to want of appetite, and a consequent general impover- ishment of the whole being. Such a con- dition causes thousands of people to fancy that they are consumptive, while they are really only m need of a remedy to sec the organs of the body working harmoniously. Reason points to two essential qualities m a remedy for this purpose. It must create an appetite for food, and at the same time assimilate its nutriment. With either of these qualities alone the remedy would be worse than useless, but with both it becomes a power with incalculable good. Alaxum is the only medicine which combines these | two qualities. It ia a natural appetiser, and its first action is to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, clearing I away all effete matter and exciting them to I activity. The system then receives nutri- tion and new life from the proper assimila tion of the food ; and where there is no organic disease health must follow* This ia common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom- mended to be •• jußt as good.'j It may be better — for the dealer — because *of its better profit, but m such an instsnoe tho dealer ie not the one who needs help.

A VICTIM OF Functional Disease. A 1 avi i tr» NEVER fails any one m .TXIcIAUIII such a predicament. To sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biliousness and Constipation it is "A friend m need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxum, and you will avoid a multitude of distressing functional derangements and diseases. Of all known medicines for renew- ing the energy Alaxum is the best. Its secondary effects are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with constipation have testi- fied not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the fact that the cure lasts. No care is required while using it. It does not interfere with the diet, habits or occu- pation, and produces no inconvenience m 1 its action. It is at once a laxative, an appetiser, and a stimulating tonic, prepared scientifically, and endorsed by the Press as the most valuable medicine that has ever been offered to to the public m a popular form.
