NEWS AND NOTES.

*, Seven racehorses, which came over from Wellington, arrived in town by train last night for the Marlborough Racing Club's meeting next week. Among tbe promotions in the Tenth Contingent is that of G. Lummas, of Blenheim, who has been appointed to the position of Farrier-Sergeant. The Dunedin City Council has accepted the tender of a Belgian firm foe the supply of 1618 tons of tram rails. It is considerably below both English and American prices. A letter from the Education Board to tho School Committee's meeting last night notified the resignation of Mr C. Sirnson as second master, and asked the Committee what steps they wished to be taken towards the permanent appointment of a successor. It was resolved that the Eoird be recommended to call for applications. At the meeting of the Borough School Committee last night, consideration was given to the letter received at the previous meeting from the Headmaster in reply to the Committee's request for information as to the passing of children from the Infants' Department to the main school, tho examination results of the Sixth Standard, and the non-participation of boys in the scholarship competitions. After considerable discussion it was resolved that tbe information supplied by the Headmaster be acknowledged, and the wish was expressed that it be published. Baby's Cough Must Never Linger. —Nothing is more distressing than to see a helpless little infant suffering with a cough, and to be fearful of using a remedy which may contain some harmful ingredient. The makers of Chamber]ain's Cough Remedy positively guarantee that this preparation, does not contain opium in any fortn, or any other harmful substance. Mothers may confidently give this remedy to their little ones. It gives prompt relief and is perfectly safe. It always cures and cures quickly. J.Benning sells it. It is necessary (says an up-country paper) to be careful as to the use of oil-drums for buckets, judging by the recent experience of two Pohangina settlers. Drums supposed to have contained oil were used to convey feed for calves, and after one settler had lost 31 calves and another had lost several, an investigation was made, when it was found that tbe drums had contained sheep dip. When the drums were heated the remains of the dip must have mingled with the food and thus brought about the disastrous ' effects referred to. WadejS Wokm Figs—the Wonderful Worm Worriers—are a safe and sure remedy, in Is boxes ; sold everywhere. The Cambridge correspondent of the Waikato Argus says : —"A gentleman who returned from Rotorua on' Monday says hundredsfof people who went by . the excursion train to that place last week could not obtain shelter, and had to return next morninpr. One aged couple spent tbe night under a tree in the sanatorium grounds, the devoted husband holding an umbrella over his spouse the whole night. It is cruel for the Railway Department to induce excursionists to go to any place when they must know that accommodation cannot be obtained at any price." No Opium in Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.—Many cough cures contain opium. The effect of this drug is to diminish secretion of the mucus, and the relief afforded is only temporary. As soon as the effect of the opium passes off, the malady returns in a more severe form. The system is also weakened and rendered more susceptible to cold. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy does not contain opium in any form. It affords relief and leaves the system in a healthy condition. It always cures and cures quickly. J. - Benniug sells it.
