BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. Mr Bra P. Walker, Willis-st., Wellington, New Zealand, who writes on July 17th, 1894:—1t is a pleasure to me to testify to the merits of Clements Tonic. For twelve years I was afflicted with gout and consequently sleeplessness. I never knew what it was to have a night's rest without suffering pain. I took" all sorts of stuff to try and relieve my agony, but everything failed until I tried Clements Tonic. After the first bottle I was decidedly better. I then continued its use, and after taking five small bottles I was absolutely cured. I have had other ailments since, but have found Clements Tonic good every time, and have never found it fail to give immediate relief. It is the medicine of medicines in my estimation. You aie at liberty to make what use you will of this statement. lam well known in Wellington and Hokitika. —Yours very gratefully, Ben V. Walker, Willis-street, Wellington. New Zealand.

A correspondent thinks that the following description of a racc-courr-e scene said to have heen witnessed some years ago in the Hot Lakes district, clipped from Melbourne Sportsman, may interest the members of the local Race Club:—"Notwithstanding the precautions taken to keep the proceedings orderly and the people sober, the gathering was an extremely lively one. For the Hurdle Eace, which opened the programme, there -were seven starters, only one of which got round the course. The riders of the six other horses all lodged protests, several of which were upheld, whereupon the owner of the winner insisted upon lighting the judge, who swore he would ' shoot him like a dog' if he did not behave himself. In the second race half the spectators followed the field round on horseback to see that there was no running insidithe posts—a proceeding which led to a great deal of confusion, particularly as the judge was away having lunch when the field came home in a cloud of dust, amidst a whirlwind of protests. Later in the day a dispute arose between two backers as to the paying over of a five-shilling wager, when the matter was promptly settled by one of the parties plunging the blade of a knife into the heart of the other, whereupon the members of one tribe fell upon the members of another, and a fight ensued which promised to give the rawcourse the aspect of a battlefield had a party of police not come on the scene opportunely and prevented further bloodshed. The body of the dead Maori was carried off to a drinking shanty near at hand to await an inquest." Orders will be received at the ClinoxiCLE office for Lett's Diaries for 1896.
