Mr. S, Franck, the patentee of the totalisator, is now in Dunedin, and will remain till after the races (says the Otago Daily Times). He is making extensive preparations for a warfare at law with jockey clubs and private parties who have infringed his patent, as he alleges, throughout New Zealand. He enters an action first against the Wellington Club, which action will'come off at the April sitting of the Supreme Court. Mr. Franck has fortified himself with any number of legal opinions, 1 judges’ rulings, &c., on the points involved between himself and the users pf totalisators, and he is peculiarly confident of winning the day. His warnings and threats have hitherto been regarded by the clubs and others as mere vaporing, but evidently Mr. Franck is in earnest. Premature Loss of the Hair, which is so common now-a-days, may be entirely prevented by the use of Burnett's Cocoaxne. It has been used in thousands of cases where the hair was coming out in handfuls, and has never failed to arrest its decay and to promote a healthy and vigorous growth. It is at the same time unrivalled as a dressing for the hair. A single application will render it soft and glossy. Asthma.—Thousands of the worst cases of Asthma have been relieved by using Jonas Whitcomb's Remedy for Asthma. In no case of purely asthmatic character has it failed to give prompt relief. W. and G. Turnbull and Co., agents. 5 Reminiscences of Wellington. — In the year 1545 a worthy citizen plodded his way with some difficulty through fern and ti-tree to Te Aro Fiat, being in, search of the surveyor’s peg which had been driven in at the corner of what is now Cuba and Dixonstreets. Upon this spot was erected a small house, in Which a very successful drapery business was carried on by two ladies of remarkable talehtand energy, who have long since retired from the scene to the land of tueir birth—- “ Land of the mountain and the flood, Land of brown heath and shaggy wood. In the year 1866 it passed into the hands of Mr. James Smith, the present proprietor, who gave to the premises the appropriate name of Te Aro House, and under whose management business has steadily pre greased with the rising fortunes of the city, until a length it was found that a very considerable enlargement was necessary, and the result was, Te Aro House, as at present, one of the most complete and Extensive Drapery Establishments in the colony of New Zealand. The General Drapery occupies a larg space, being 49 feet by 26 feet, amply sufficient for al Manchester goods, Fancy Dresses, Silks, Gloves Hosiery, Ribbons, Laces, &c. The Men’s, Boys’ and Youths’ Clothing Department measures 42 feet by 14 feet,- and has attached a comfortable fitting-room. Carpets and Household Furnishings have a similar space allotted to them. The Show-room for the sale of Millinery, Mantles, Jackets, Costumes, &c., is a very spacious apartment, elegantly fitted up, and beautifully lighted from the roof, and measures 39 feet by 22 feet. The stock of goods is at all times large and well selected, and patterns are forwarded post free on application. A special feature at Te Aro House is the Order Department, and very careful attention is paid to the wants of Country Residents. All orders are executed under the immediate supervision of tho proprietor, are securely packed and forwarded to their destination with that promptness and despatch which have always distinguished Te AlO House, Cuba-street, Wellington.
