CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. TO THE EDITOR.

Sib— l see by last night's Post that Mr. Damant has been eleoted a member of the Committee of the Sooiety for tho Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. I consider Mr. Damant, as Inspeotor of loads, should be th» first person proseouted for the state he has the Hutt-road in, for it certainly ie cruelty to animals, a horse having to take a load into town from the Hutt in the present state the road ia in. lam one who does not like to subjeot my horse to such cruelty, bat am obliged to. I am, &0., Onk who travels on the Road. Lower Hutt, 11th July, 1885.

The results of the Waterloo Coursing Meeting at Christohuroh are given elsewhere. The Cup, it will be seen, was woa by a rank outsider. Ringwood, against which the long odds of 83 to 1 were offered at the start. We regret having to call attention to the very unsatisfactory way the altimportant duties of judge wero oarriod out by Mr. Chatteris. The telegrams and newspaper aooonnts of the proceedings which pave come to hand are remarkably unanimous as to the unfairness with which he troated the Wellington dogs, Marasohino and Cliquot, sent do\i a by Messrs. C. and E. J. HiH to compete in the stake. The Eeferee of yesterday says:-" Mr. Chatteris, as judge, oame in for some very adverse criticism for some of his decisions, the course betwoen Princoss Charlotte and Cliquot, ra which the Princess obtained the vordict, being a moat palpably erroneous fiat." Again, in describing Maraschino's coarse with Moonlight, the same paper BayB: " Marasohino did moat work and killed, the Sag going up for Moonlight, who appeared to us well beaten." The Weekly Press is even more outspoken. It says that in the course with Prince Charlotte. " Cliquot ought to have received tho verdict;" and, again, in the second round of the Purse, in which Uliquot Was put out by Le Loup, "The blaok (Cliquot) undoubtedly won the trial, but the judge left off taking count when the irial was half through, owing, it is Baid, to Cliquot running cunning." It must be very discouraging to Messrs. Hill to receive such treatment as this in return for their enterprise in sending the dogs down, and we should think they will hesitate about trusting. "them to Mr. Chatteris' tender meroies again. The s.s. Go-Ahead came rcund from the slip this morning, and leaves this evening for Castlepoint and Napier. " What'll You Takk?"— Mr. Jerry P. Thomas, President of the Gourd Club, and well- known as a disponser of the most enjoyable compounds to the habitues of Central Park Hotel, 59th Street and 7th Avenue, New York, United States or* America, writes aa

follows :— " Last summer I suffered fearfully 'with Neuralgia, and could not get any rest night or day. A friend who had used St. Jacobs Oil thought so highly of its healing qualities that he gave mo some to try. I tried it, and obtained the first night's rest in weeks, and was cured. I have found it to bo the very best remedy. I keep it constantly in my house for my family, have reoommended it to others, and would not be without it on any account." Great oaks from little acorns spring, Qreat aches the little toe-corns bring; But for every corn That ever was born, St. Jaooba Oil is iuat the thing.
