At present the race Beems rather an open one, but the recent performances of somo of v thoae engaged have thrown a little light on their pros pects. The only horse up to the present to incur a penalty is Boreas, whose win m the Spring Handicap at H iwke's Bay k-a~ises his weight to 7at 13. b. Some of the minor lights will n > doubt be missing when the final payment falls due. The majority of those left constitute some of the best handicap horses m the colony. At present the chaucoa of Boreas, Sword fish, and Starehot seem to be the most prominent.

Will be at Newmans Stables every Saturday. Kino op Quality is a dapple bay, rising six years old, bred by Mr R. Gawn, North Taleri. He is a colt of great substance and power, with mat?y points to recom mend 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 Clydesdale. He is a prime mover, has good temper, and' sound constitution. His sire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Rae, from Scotland," by Argyle (2587 vol vi), dam Darling, by Prince of Wales (673, vol i), grand dam Maggie, by Lochend Champion (448, vol i). Lion King was first at Dunedin Show as a three-ye .r-old, first at Dunedin m 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his pro- geny. Lion King's "dam Scotch Annie (imported from Scotland, 343, N Z S B), was a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She was shown In New Z aland four times, gaining firsb and champion upon each occasion. Her 6ire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, S0 S B), grand i-ire Ivanhoe lat (imported ; 113, NZ S B). He was gob by the great Sir Walter Scott, whose breeding needs no comment. Lion King's sire, British Lion, is so favorably known as to need no com- ment. He was considered by competent judges to be one of the best horses ever la ded m New Zealand. King of Quality's dam, Qae n of Quality, (608, N Z S R) 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 fourteen first prizes and seven champions ; among the others she was champion mare at the Exhibition show, Dunedin. This career has stamped • her as a 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, j 113, S.B ) King of Quality as a yearling gained first prfza at Taieii show and second at Dunedin. Jt will be seen from the above that King of Quality is descended from the purest strains of piize-taking Clydes- dale blood, and cannot fail to make a njme for himself as a sire. Has proved himself m thfs district as a Ruro foal getter. Terms :— Guarantee —£4 4s. Season marcs, £3 3d. Groomago fey, s*. All maivs changing hand , first owners held responsible.

Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1885. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract the market, products of Bimpi^ distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR. PURE VOLATILE EUCALN PTI EXTRACT, which ia recognised by ihe medical division of the Prussian Government be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we tate : — It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bono and Greifatva'd, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Nch ulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, aud Professor Dr. ■ Mossier, Director of th« Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that arc saturated with oxygeu hoJ freed of resinous and other substaucos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the vanative qualities proper to the plant orso called Kucalypti Extracts Are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentinee, whish •re abandoned loner since as an nte v nal ddicaorieDt. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract deyeiop3 most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting i tendency of resins and tennatea. If these crude oils, 80-called eucalypt extracts, are applied by mistake ia cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamationß, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
