The second day's races in connection with the Auckland Bacing Club's Summer Meeting took place on Saturday, and were again very successful. The indications of he previous day gave very little prospect f fine weather, and the prophetic warning telegraphed from Wellington was not calculated to diminish the appre hensions felt on this score. But the alarm was groundless. The morning broke clear and bright, and although the sky was subsequently overcast, the clouds were not ,01 eueh a nature as to indicate a probability of rain. A pleasant north erly breeze tempered the fierce rays of the Eun; and exercised a cooling in fluence on the atmosphere. The road was again the favourite route, and the livery stable keepers give it os their opinion that if they had had treble the number of con veyances at their disposal thefse would aIBO have been in requisition. Nothing was available for hire on Friday, from a )U £gv to a wheelbarrow, and those who secured their conveyances a long time in advanoe were fortunate«undeed. Hun dreds of vehicleu of every conceiv able description took the road, and the scone from Kyber r'ass to Groen Lane was animated in the extreme. The rail way arrangements were very good, and thousands were convoyed safely to the course by train. The attendance was, how over perceptibly Bmaller than that on Box ing Day. Both the grandstands were filled with spoctators, and the WBoll to the left of the saddling paddock was crowded with traps and people, but there was a falling-off in the number of the crowd outside the stands. The cauees of this decrease are various. It ia only natural to suppose that the ffite in the Domain took away many, and it must be remembered that strong counter-attractions were offered in other directions. Monday, too, was the Cup day, when the largest attendance should be looked for, while the fact that the Steeplechase was still to be run on the third would induce lukewarm sportsmen to post pone their trip to tho races until that occa sion. In this connection, it is a striking peculiarity that in Auckland^the Derby. 'ollowb the Cup rnce, instoad dfproceding *it, as is tho custom olsewhoro. His Excel lency the Governor arrived on tho course immediately before the lirst race, and waR escorted to a flag-lined box in tho centre of tho now grand-stand, tho band meanwhile playing the National Anthem. The totalisatqrs were as largoly patronised as over, and the heaps of money invested formed a strHMng commentary on the cry of depressed * trade and dull timeß. It fa i^jally time that steps were taken tv improve tho primitive method adopted of paying* dividends, nnd fhus avert tho disgraceful scones that aro con stantly occurring near the email pigoon-holo opening whefe the money is paid slowly out, and nervously clutched by its recipients, who aro pushed and gruehed hither and thither while they Btrive to keep in front of tho opening into which they have passed their ticket, Tflo experience of collect ing a dividend during one of theso ruahes "is one which few peacefully disposed men would caro to repeat. In view of tho fact that the public pay heavily for the use of the machine, they may reasonably expect»<?reator attontion to their conveni ence, and improvements in the system of working which aro likely to meet the in- Classed strain. The sport throughout was of rather an interesting charaotey, but, Btrango to coy there woro no closo finishes, if we except f.he Hurdlo Kac# Of tho eovon events decided, none created more genuine intoroßt'than the contest for tho Dorby. Each of the oandl: dates were eagerly scanned as they jjaraded tho paddock. *ml »ith-ugh the event was looked upon an a good thing for Dieownod, there woro not a few who thought the lame ness the colt was suffering from in his off fore-leg would tiring about hi?defeat. The rosult of the raco proved otherwise, for the .Canterbury-bred1* colt won just as be liked.

Totalisator Gambling.

(To the Editor.)

Sib,—Should not tho Government, when, legalising the use of ihe totals tor at race meetings, have fixed the maximum tariff1 to. be imposed by the racing; clubs? In view" of the large Bum of money that iB passed through the complicated anatomy of this great horse-leech every year at Ellerijlie, U% clear that an impost of 5 per cent., |nßteao; of 10, would give the A.R.C. a handsome profit. Of course the public wiM go on paying 3s 6d for rail and admis-' sion to the course, and 2s out of every pound it invests, becaueo " the public is a haes," but I venture to say that if the A R.C. machinery were boycotted for the term of one meeting the Club would quickly make a wholesome* 'reductiop in their outrageous charges. Having- its^ own way in everything, the A.-K.O. co# seta to run off the turf the 'small weady money bookmakers, aDd monopolise all the gambling transactions on the ground. The class of speculators referred»to receive wagers from 2s 6d upwards and give a chance of betting on the eventj«to those who have not £1 to put up. A welcher ia rare among,them, fc/r hg *« soon tnught to feel sad. They were tolerated on every racecourse in Great Britain, and were in Auckland until the Summer Meeting, when the A.H.C. t began to suffer from the symptoms of a disease known as "swollhead," broUght on by too much prosperity, which, i$ not checked early, will end in disaster to some: one. Tho man who arrives on the field* with lees than £1 in his pocket, and hankers after fun, and fee)» that there is a want somewhere, must go in the booths and fill up the place #sth liquor., I say, rather take beck that totalizator and give, us those boss swindleis-tho three-card crook and the thimble-fljad'iiea pirato;—l am, etc., PlatibijS. ™

The "Welcome" Nugget of Daylesford.

A Story For Christmasfcide.

Thk following interesting eketoh from the ex-mayor of Daylesford, although border ing on the marvellous, we have reason to believe to be Jrue in every particular :— I was born in OUggo County, New York, in 1827, where ISSjfti until 1850, then left for California, eUgsgisg in ' mining oper ations two years ; then left with a party of, eight for Australia, locating in BendigQ, where 1 oomtaenoed my. Aoßtraliap. oareer, bJAntt lit fi,e t jm^ $,n aijla-bcidieKi six-footer, perfectly nple to fight my own battles in the then rongh jnoneer life of Australia. I enjuyed the Best of health (except one year's suuoring with bronchial trouble in 1876) up to about three years ago, when I was eud dealy taken withTWrtquent, desire to urin ate, cautiog no }iiin, but great inconven ience. - Little did, \ ;U oam this was v prsluiiu to such leariul ugoniee. Ip ijarcb, I^S5, I was Buddenly taken With intense pain, commencing at tbe prlfuto part, gradually extending to the prostrate gland, from there to the bladder, than extending through the ureter to the ! right kidney, which was perfectly unendur-1 £jbiu. Isjiie hours of this excruciating agony was atojpped by leeches and blisters, j I remained voder tha doctor's care until j June, ISSS, who proaounced it renal com-' plaint, but found no pbange or relief from the use oi las medicine. I 'gfadually grew woysa, "and mf smfGringe greater, tlio agony heing unendurable. TnG pain, that; 1 suffered waß due to the refle.x action, or nervous sympathy from the kidney, cans ing intense pa|n in my ertevnaj organs j my corotiim was relaxed and swollen to that extent that it was difficult for me to i walk about, and^jjfe urine passed from me with out any control, except in a recumbent position."* * -

At this time a friend brought me one of H. H. Warner's pamphlets. I read it care fully, and was so strongly impressed with the argumentiyo facts I concluded to try it, commencing its use 12th June, 1885, After. using four1 bottles tho scrotum regained its proper position, and I could retain my urine fot a short time ; This encouraged me to preserve with its uso. e For twenty montljS I sugared, off and on, indescribable agony. S kept taking Warner's safe cure, with no other medicine, conforming strictly with Warner's diet regulations, wifa intermissions, when I discontinued its use for ten days at a time, despair. ing of its doing me any further goOd ; but thinking I suffered more pain; without it, I resumed its use. On 17th August, 1886, tbe calculus removed from its position in the kidney to the top of the ureter, and there ib remained until SOtb September; whan it passed through' th« ureter into the Tjladder. Owing1" to thfl enormous size the passing caused intense pain, which necessitated narcotics, and I remained in a state of atupor for 'five days, ' .. '. ■ '■■/-., ■,;. 1 . The stone remained in the bladder two weeks, when it passgd through the urethra, and my troubles were>ended. On tUe lith Ootober I hold in my hand the Brio acid 'stone, which measured jj x 1 J-in. . At this time I had just completed my sevonty-third bottle of Warner's safe euro. lam Of" the opinionthat the safe euro is a Bplandid diuretf^ that in my case it began to correct the secretions bf the kidney and" stop the growth of the calculus ; this may have oc cupied soveral mouths. When'the kidney beoame Fullyrestorod to healthand vigour, the Vjaloulus waa moved to th'a top,of the ureter, where it rested a few \feeks, when by Nature's lawa a desire to got rid of a foreign subject prevailed. It passed from the ureter into, the bladder, and,;' eiibae quently, through the urethra. la m now a well man ; am suffering from no pain what ever, either kidney or bladder. During this twenty months I had to lie on my right side on an average nineteen houra out of twenty-four. Should this meet the eyes of any Bufferere, Ijvo'uld deem it my duty and pleasure to giya them a verbal verification^ of these facts, as I am well known in this locality, haying occupied the majoral chair, and am at present member of £Qe Borough Couricij of Dayles for,d. .' ~' ',{*/£>.
