A. and P. Association. —The time for receiving entries for the coming show has been extended to 6 o'clock, Saturday 21 insb. Judging by the way entries are coming io the aumber will fur exceed last years' total. Th« Coming Road Race.—Messrs Mason, Struthera and Co. write m re the above as follows :—"Our Mr Duff went to Timara by train the other day and rode up by road, and the course has now been settled as follows— Timara to Tetnuka, Winchester, Geraldine, and RsDgitata traffic bridge, 34 miles; thence to Maronao, 12 miles ; Tinwald, 10 miles; Ashburlon, 2 miles; ihence to Bakaia, Dunsandel, and Christchmeb, We have arranged aud planned & map, and this Appears m to-day's Cyclist, which will be aenfc yon m due course. The entrios were extended until Thursday on account of the New Zealand Cyclists' Alliance having given » decision to allow its amateurs to compete. Already over forty entries have beeD re. otived." Wireless Telegraphy. — Some interest" tog results were obtained with wireless tele graphy on Auguist 16 at Dover. One of Signer Marconi's installations was set up for experimental purpoaea between Dover and the South Foreland lighthouse and the East Goodwin lightship. The apparatus was eet up at the Town Hall Buldings, and the ordinary fhgstaff of the building was utilised. The Town Hall, which is sur rounded by buildings, is m the centre of the town. Intervening between the place where the instrument was fixed and tha South Foreland are the high cliffs upon which stands Dover Castle. Messages had therefore to pass through, or over, cliffs from 300 ft to 410 ft above sea level for about four miles. The same conditions applied to the East Goodwin lightship, except that) m this case the message had to travel twelve miles across the aea. It was m order to make these tests that the experiments took place. The results were completely success ful. Messages were transmitted and received with the greatest ease and without a hitch. Four iightshipmen, who have qualified as 6rat-c'asß operators, assisted at the experi ments. The rise m the price of wool and the firm state of the London market will mean in creasing returns of many thousands of pounds for the farmers of Canterbury alone this year. As a natural consequence, following the advanced Cost of the raw material, alt the principal manufacturers of woollen goodl have recently issued revised price lists show ing a considerabi » rice m * the prices of all Tweeds, Coatings, Vicugnas, &o. Messes Craighead & Berrtman of this town, how ever, with their usual foresight, took time by the forelock, and cabled Home direct early 1 m May for & large shipment of the most » fashionable Suitings for the approaching Spring season. They also secured large parcels from the principal New Zealand mills jasb before the rise, and will give their customers the fall benefit of their timely contracts. Messrs Ckaigbead and Bekry man invite an early inspection of their New Goods. Their leading line of Men's Suits to measure for £3 10a, made up iv their well known style and fit, should convince [the most sceptical of their sterling values

Ihe patient stopped. fThe doctor'a prediction w»b verified. The first day, the patient declares, was as long as his whole previous life. Prosperity is the best protector of principle.

ANOTHER (iRKAT TRIUMPH OVER " UYD*TII)S" A grateful Patient given unsolicited and valuable testimony to the efficacy of this gieat Herbal J.fctnei'.y. Read carefully and investigate for yourself. 29 Paokin^ston Eh, St. Kilda. ' Mr S A Palmer, Vitadatio Intitule, B-'urke st. Sir, — Aa I consider Webbers' Great Herbal Retnady, "Vitadatio," has been the,sole j means of saving my life I think the least I .' CiQ do i« to hind you this testimonial, ro that others suffering the same as myself may know that there is n certain reliable euro foi them m " Webber's Vitadatio/' f it is only given a fair trial. The ample facts of my case are at follows;— For the past IQyears I have reen under the treatment of doctors m Filjsroy end M\ Kilda, as well as some of the boat m Collins street Some were of opinion that I was suffering from consumption, whilst others stated it was pleurisy. At any rate they could give me no relief, let alone cure me. You can easily imagine that I had little hope of ever being cured. But one day I noticed an advertised cure by •' Webber's Vitadatio," and the symptoms of the patient being somewhat similar to my own, I thought I would give it a trial, with the result that, after taking only two large bottles, I felt much better, and continued the medicine. By the time I had taken eight bottleß I was wonderfully recovered, but one day took very ill, and vomited up a lot of slimy matter, which was afterwards examined by the dootor, and pronounced to be Hydatids, I continned to vomit these " Hydatids " for aomo time, bub at last it died away. This naturally left me weak, but I continued with the "Vitadatio," and gradually my strength returned, until to-day I can honestly state I have never felt better m the who'e of my life. I consider " Webber's Vitadntio' a miracle-worker. I am well-known m Fitzroy, and there are ma^y others just as much ' astonished at my curs as I am. I shall be pleased to speak to anyone and give them my own experience of the worth of " Webber's Vitadatio." You are at pejftct liberty to make what use you like offthis testimonial. I may add I am now able to do all my own household work ; a thing I have been unable to do for years.—Yours very gratefully, {- {Mrs) CARRIE HOCKING. r Witness-G E Richardson. 19/9/99 VITADATIO IS A TRULY WONDER FUL MEDICINE.
