Goro Horse Basaar. Messrs Wright, Stephenson and Co., report .•>s follows: We held a .special nale of horses at the above yards on Saturday. Notwithstanding this being our second special spring sale within the last few weeks, there was a largo entry and a splendid attendance of buyers and others interested. Tho entries included horses from several of the most noted breeders in Southland, and this, together with the splendid demand at present ' listing for good ports made spirited bidding fur the majority of the lota offered. After our sale last Saturday, we think we can safely Kay without, fear of contradiction that our market at the present time for useful, reliable young and sound horses cannot be equalled in the South Island. Out of 120 entries received wo succeeded in finding purchasers under tho hammer and privately (.our new system of the auctioneer working in conjunction with a large staff of private salesmen being n great success) for bo

j lota, the passed entries consisting for the most part of iufcrior and agrd horses. It is quite unnecessary to enumerate all the pticfls realised, but tho following are a few of the most important:—mar.-, Gyra, £SB ; mare, syrs, Jt's6; gelding, (iyrs, .L's.i 10s ; gelding, 4yrs, £4B 10s; cob (b oken to harness) £24. A great many useful aorta found n w purchasers at prices from £35 to t'4B. Our usual weekly sale will bo held next Saturday

IHE CELEBRITY OF SANDER Aim SOUS' PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT is universally acknowledged. Royalty honors it, and the entire medical profession has adop'ed its use. Imitations sprung up without number. The latest of them-all styled " Extracts '—was an oil foisted upon the trusting and unwary under the grossest misuse of Sander and Sons' reputation. Sander and Suns' instituted an action at the Supreme Court of Victoria, before his Honor Chief Justice Sir J. Madden. K.C.M.G., etc., and at the trial a sworn witness testified that he bad to stop the use of counterfeits ou account of the irritation produced. This shows what care is required to obtain an article that is scientifically tested and approved of. As such is solely endorsed and recommended.
