The Volunteers.

The New town Kiflos fired the fifth competition for their belt and B Class trophy yesterday morning. Volunteer Elliott won the trophy for the third time, and it now becomes his own property. The following are the scores : —

The detectives apparently had a diffionlt task set them when they first commenced their search for Henry Herbert Hunt, who was to-day committed for trial on three separate charges of forgery. No two descriptions of the man given the detectives (allied, and it since turns out that the only :i xnrate one was that obtained from Mr. Geo. Bayh's, in whoso employ Hunt had been. Detective Chr.yatnl, knowing this latter, and having discovered that a man answering somewhat Hnnt'p appearance, had purchased a blank cheque-book from the Bank in Mr. Uayliss' namp, went to that gentleman and asked to koq specimens ot the handwriting of his employd-i. Hunt's was among them, and was recognised by thu detective, who thus obtained a full description of the man ho "wanted." Hunt came very near being 1 captiirpd in one of the hotels in the To Aro ward on Thursday evening by the fatne detective, who, having a strong suspicion that the man was on the premises, questioned the barmaid regarding him. This fai" damsel, probably piomptod by curiosity, wiote the name " Hunt " on a scrnp of paper and gave it to an individual answering the des-cription given by the detective, ar.d who was not visible to th.j " eagle eye " of the representative of the law. Tho follow denied that his name was Hunt, but gave that of "Shannon." ■ 'He, however, took the hint, and cleared out before the detective could got a sight of him. However, as since related, his capture boon followed. Drunken Stuff.— How many ohildren and women are slowly and surely dying, or rather being killed, by excessive doctoring, or the daily uso of Bomo drug or drunken stuff called medicino, that no one knows what it is made of, who can easily bo cured and saved by American Co.'s Hop Bitters, which is so pare, simple, and harmless that tho most frail woman, weakest invalid, or umallost child can trust in it ! See. Consumption, "Wastiko Diseased, and Gknrrai. Dkbiutv.— Doctors disagree as to the relative value of Cod Liver Oil «na Hypophospnitea— the one supplying strength and flesh, ' 8 other giving nerve power and acting as a tonic to the digestive and entire aystem. But in " Scott's Eiiui.bio.n- of Pure Cod Lives Oil with IIYPOPHoapmTKS" the two are combined, and tho effect is wonderful. Thousands who have derived no permanent benefit from other preparations have been cured by this. " Scott's Ehui.siok '' is perfectly palatable, and is easily digested even by those who cannot tolerate plain Cod Liver Oil. Sold by all Chemists, two «izos, large and small, <s Bd and" 2s 6d.
