E. E. Mackesy's second lecture, given in the Athenteuni Hall last night., , was well attended. He took as his subject "The Political Outlook from, a Watcher's Standpoint." The object of the lecture was to demonstrate from the revelation of Scripture that Great Britain was appointed to rule the world. Mr Mackesy will probably return to Oamaru shortly and lecture on Anglo-Israelism. Owing to other attractions the attendance at St. Luke's Club last night was omly small. After preliminary business it was decided to adjourn the meeting and to have the papers on the South African problem, which were to have occupied the evening, read on the next magazine night. Next week will be occupied with competitions, the subjects being poems on the "Relief of Mafeking," parodies on "The Absent-Minded Beggar," and short essays on "What to do with old hats." Entries for the Oamaru Poultry Show will close with the secretary on Saturday night next, at Gilmour's rooms, where the secretary will be in attendance between tin hours of 7.30 and 9.30.

Mr F. R. Dennison, mechanical engineer, of Christchurch, arrived in town yesterday with a motor-car which he has constructed from his own model. The car (attracted considerable attention in the town, to-day. It is driven by a gasoline •engine, and Mr Dennison has proved the practical nature of its construction by riding down from Christchuroh upon it. The trip has also demonstrated to him where several effective improvements can be made, and a working model of an improved machine has already been constructed by him with effective results. The present car, which is admittedly only roughly built, can attain a speed of

15 or 16 miles an hour under favorable circumstances. Mr Dennison will leave

for' Christchurch again! next week. SINCE the Publication of BULLEID'S Famous Bed, White, and Blue Circular, the Retail Drapery Trade in Thames street has been paralysed. Every one is waiting for the Opening Day of their Sale. Tears of joy and! sorrow should mingle

from the eyes of every one of us. Tears of sorrow that every business man in town is a "thorough humbug" in the management of his business. Tears of joy that the inevitable exception is found in our worthy townsman, Mr J. Bulleid. The thanks of the trading public are due to Mr J. BuEeid for his candour and courage. Few men are courageous enough to publish their opinion of the way other traders manage their business, but no doubt it is the altitude from which Mr Bulleid views the rest of us that has suggested to him the words "Thorough Humbugs." We recommend this gentleman to a more dignified way ol expressing himself in future. On behalf of ourselves and others, PENROSE'S CASH DRAPERY ESTABLISHMENT.

Messrs John Bulleid and Co. hasten to correct a misconception of their famous "Red, White, and Bine" circular, which has called down upon them the out-pour-ing of vials of righteous wrath from, their indignant fellow tradesmen. These gentlemen, in no uncertain terms announce that they are not as Kroger is, are not the humbugs referred to, and that "the allegation is false and the 'alligator' knows it." Messrs Bulleid and Co. are vexed »w. this cap-fitting should have been dona in a public trying-on room, and wish to ex-

plain that their reference was no<a Intended to apply to tlie : admirable local establiah-1 ments, bub to the indifferent businesses i of some of the lesser known Home iindl Foreign firms, more particularly the Parisian premises of M. Worth, the London business of Wliitely, and the Brighton and Scarborough branches of Messrs Marshal and Snelgrove.

. A RICH RETURN. When a mixture attains so wonderful n success in so short a timo as TUSSICURA has managed to do, it is difficult to speak of the matter in a way that does not appear like exaggeration. Let us look back at the career of this extraordinary medicine from the start. It is only a fjw months since the proprietor launched it upon the market, and, as it was produced in a comparatively obscure town in Central Otago, it will be seen that the inventor was considerably handicapped. There was no idea of putt ing fort It a Cheap Mixture — for there are only too many of these before the public at the present time —but the object in view was to use the very best drugs procurable after a careful consideration as to the effect they would have on the systems of persons suffering from particular complaints. People are, not unnaturally, chary of trying a new reneedy, unless it comes to them heralded by all sorts of "bold advertisement," and the i proprietor of TUSSICURA, although he might have expected an extremely hard tight in convincing the public of the excellence of his preparation, is naturally gratified at its immediate success. At the same time he recognises that, in order to recoup liim for the large expense ho has been put to in preparing the mixture, he must seek a wider field, and tho number of testimonials he has received amply justified biin in anticipating a success.
