The mistake had been made before, and should nob have been repeated, of patting cyclist a in front and Mounted Rifle* next, to set the pace for children and elderly people on foot. It is an utterly bad arrangement and was not got over by occasional halts of the leading sec tion. The cyclists can hardly go slowly if they try, and with homes just behind them, ft dangerous juxtaposition for wheels, they dare not try their best to go slow. It is difficu't to say how this defecfe could be remedied without adopting; the drastic mca ■ure of cuttiDg out mcv fast travellers, bat undoubtedly the excessive pace set by the cyclists and horsemen made it hard work for Shoaa on foot, and detracted from th« pleasure of the onlookers, who had scarcely time to see what was passing. It is to be hoped that a similar mistake will not be made »fc Ashburton. Hartley and Riley dredging returns are 1330z lOdwt for the past four days.

Following this hoarseness is a i peculiar rotigh cough. If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given aB soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the oroupy oough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is used in many thousands of homes in this broad land and never disappoints the anxious mothers. We have yet to learn of a single instance in which it has nob proved effectual.

The viotorieaof Science—Electric lelrgcaphs. Steam and Printing— revolut.ionised the whole system of the globs, and made man kind wisec and belter. So, although there are counfciesa Pills used for dieeues, and elaiminu mnch a<? to their merit, the remark able discovery of Dr. Haydock has eclipsed hem all, and haw founded a NEW MEDICAL SYSTEM. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four «r five piils, enfeeble* the stcnv«ch and paraljae the bowels, must jjive way to the man who restores health and appetite v.ih ona or two of hia extraordinary Vp^et-i>''- Pii-ls.

Daily experience show* that this, when the Pill is compounded properly s the readiest mode of inciting and promot* ing ihe action of the Liver, aud ca*. alwayi be relied on; I have devoted nitiny yeartor my life in compounding a Pili, f hat witl aot readily and system vtically as a liiliom < Remedy.
