THE WING VTUI COURSE.

In a circular juit received describing the new Wingatui racecourse, the property of the DuneiUn Jockey Oii;K i>y " 'i'he Admiral. ' of the Eveiiiwj Star's spewing staff, we 'earn that th 6 club have so fur spent £9500 ia buildings, e'-o , on lh« new course. Thn grand sU-.nd will fv-at. bGO persons and U built of brick,, ;n-n ur.d nW j, and the two totelisstor houses s«re 48 x 14 and 38 xl 4 The wits te'eotcS f.r ha ;.ut s do public to view t.ho liiues is on a lue ■ome three or four feob above ihe Icve"' course, which msikfss a natural galier., n.nd will obviate the necessity of a sec <u<l stand boiog erccied. The cou;ee proper ia one ami u-half chains wide. Alongside the O'"Urae is the plough track of hall a chnio, and again on the inside ia a grass training , track, one chain wide. There is a dead straight; run at the front and the back of the course of twenty-ore chains. The course is one mile and a quarter ia circumference, whioh is two furlongs larger than Fmbury and a similar distancs less than the Biccir ton course. In the run homo th.-re is a lliftht) dip, but nothing of a serious character. With ft *'iew to ensnris g wlv.it is practically a straight run of ha'f a mile, a i-eeond four furloDg post has been marked «>ff, which en ahn be used, if deemed advisable, as the Starting post for the mile and three-quarter races. On ei'her side of the portion of the ground where the racing folk will mostly congregate is a long belt of b'uo gum trees, which will afford splendid picnic retreats. As the railway authorities have agreed to run trains at the reasonable farea of 2s 6d (first) and 2s (aecond-cUsB), including ad mission to the course, jt ia fully expected tbi»6 as m the case of Fhtnington—people who do nob care a j-)t for racing will take advantage of the opportunity of a cheap day's outing ia the country, To that end the club may be depended en to provide Heating accommodation as well aa facilities for making hot tea. The gorse hedges and other fences oh the club's property should provide one of the most natural steeplechase courses m the colony, and it ia not un reasonable to expect that the May (winter) programme will contain a valuable stake each day for this popular branch < f the Sport of Kingp. The. mrrout tliu^s are ex ceadingly inviting, and from the back of the grand staud a panorama of the whole Taieri plain is unfolded, The opinion of Sir George Clifford (chairman of the New Zaa land Racing Conference), that the Wingatui ' racecourse will prove to be one of the very finest m the colony, is like y to be fuUy borae out.

*C?*£%>^ y A VICTIM. OF Functional Disease, AL vntv , NEVER fails any ona m .maXUIII SQC h 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* Ita secondary effects are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with constipation have testi* fied not only to its immediate relieving No oare is required while using it. It doe> not interfere with the diet, habits or occu pation, and produces no inconvenience ia its action. It is at once a laxative, an appetiser, and a stimulating tonic, prepared scientifically, and endorsed by the Press at the most valuable medicine that has ever been offered to to the public m a popular form. ALAXUM <*» Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Dizziness Costiveness, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn, Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangement* of the system of nutrition NOTE THIS W.EJLJL..- The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derange ment or weakness the organs 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 art really only m need of a remedy to see tiho 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. Alaxom is the only medicine which combines these two qualities. It is 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 away all effete matter and exciting them to activity. The system then receives nutri tion and new life from the peeper assimila tion of the food; and where then is no organic disease health must follow* This is common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom mended to be "just as good.' 'It may be betUr — for the dealer —because of its better profit, but m such an instance the dealer is not the one who needs help. FROM ALL CHEMISTS & STORE-. KEEPERS, PRICE 2s 60 A. CONUNDEUM. TTTHY IS BENJAMIN GUM like ft Hard-boiled Egg ?—Beeauee it is HARD TO BEAT THAT precisely expresses the opinion of all who have used Benjamin Gum. There is no Cough Medicine like it. In troduced into Canterbury only last winter its success was immediate. Thousands of bottles were sold m a few months, and hundreds of sufferers wrote gratefully to the proprietor of their Speedy Cure. It is not a catchpenny Quack Medicine* It is made by a fully qualified Chemist, who knows his business; It contains the same Ingredients as Friars' Balsam, which was first made by the Monks and Friars of Europe m the days of old.' Friars' Balsam has been used for six hundred years for healing cuts and wounds. Spencer Vincent's Beniamin Gnm is a Compound of this Balsam, with other Ingredients, prepared by a apecial|proeeM for internal use. Are you troubled with your Cheat! BENJAMIN GUM Will heal the Lungs. It will not heal them at once. It must be used for some time, and used regularly m old-standing cases. Have you a Cold m the Head or a Harsh Cough BENJAMIN GUM Will Heal the inflammation of the threat and passages of the nose as Friars' Balsam heals cuts. Coughs disappear with thl inflammation which caua *s them. BENJAMIN GUM Is not a chewing gum, but a very palatable liquid. The bottle contains almost twine ac much as any other Cough Mixture m the mark-I, It is the KING OF ALL. PRICE : Is 6d and 2s 6r> Chemists and Stores.
