CYCLING MEMS

Speaking of cyclists, both in Eng land and on the continent, Mr E Key nolde, one of this colony's delegates to the Paris Cycling carnival, who has just returned to Auckland, said that professional racing wits at a very low ebb; in fact, on the Continent racei were systematically bought and sold, bringing the sport into disrepute. From a businesspoint of view, Mr Rey nolds has had a most successful trip. He states that l;e has no intention of racirg in future. In Paris on September 16 the great international twenty four hours cycle race was wonby Oordang, tl-e Dutch man, who rode 293 miles in. the time. This is s me thirty seven milts short of the distance covered by the Kngli*h rider Walters last year. The latter competed in the rare a week before bat during the twentieth hour he had to bo lifted off his machine exhausted. One regretb this all the more because Walters was ahead of all competitors when he collapsed. The tsold! or Cup thus falls to Oordang,

New Guinea.

APPLICATIONS fOR LAN©,

United Freis Associatiou—By Elecbrio Telegraph

Brisbane, November H. With reference to Messrs Barns, Fhiip and Company's application for land in New Guinea, on behalf of tba Hall Sound Company, correspondence shows that Colonel Le Hunte, the administrator of New Guinea, stated that the directors would not proceed further ia the matter unless assured that they would not meet with any opposition from the Australian Govern* ments. He was very sorry if this large bona-fide attempt to develop the resources in possession of an Austra lian Company, should fail owing to discouragement from official quarters. Replying to the inquiries of the Pre mier cf Victoria on the subject, the Chief Secretary of Queensland wrote t —Are any beginnings being made in development except those which have no other recommendation than that they are ao email as to contribute, only in an appreciable degree to the pros pect of the possession becoming self sustaining % It appears to me that uniform opposition to such proposals leaves no alternative prospect with regard to the maintenance of the poßßession beyond the continuance of a burden now borne by New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland, which should never have been taken up, except fn the. anticipation that relief would come when a certain time had been allowed for the establish ment of the reveuue and the producing interests of the territory.

Poisoned Terrible Peelings. Loss of Sleep. Impurities often accumulate in the blood until they produce the most dangerous symptoms of misoning. The appetite, is lost, digesnon weak ened, and nerves exhausted. v Mrs. F. Flynn, of Adelaide, So. Aus tralia, sends us her photograph and cays; " I used to have terrible feelings come over. me. The doctors could do me no good. I could not sleep, my appetite left me, and I was a most miserable woman indeed. Having read of AYEft'S SimpamH I thought I would try it. To my great sur prise, after taking only two bottles I found myself very much better in every way. After taking six bottles all my disagreeable feelings left me, and I was completely cured." If your bowels are constipated, take Ayer's Pills. They are gentle andsure. They cure biliousness, dyspepsia, and sick headache. Take them with Ayer's Sarsaparilla; one aids the ether.
