What a Blessing.

What a blessing it is. Sought after by thousands, Dunedin is finding it out. Many a miserable man is happy now. Nights of unrest, days of trouble. Any irritating skin disease means this. Irritating piles mean it. Eczema just as bad, and just as bad to cure. But Doan's Ointment does it. Relieves at qnco, and cures if you use it long enough. A specific for any irritation of the skin. A blessing to tlio suffering public. Here's Dunedin proof to back it. Mrs Hugh Harvey, Prince Edyard road, South Duncdin. says: "Twelve months ago I used Doan's Ointment on one of my children, who suffered with irritation of tho skin. I think the trouble was caused by the blood being over-heated. lam pleased to say that the ointment cured .the irritation, and llio child lias remained Ireo of the trouble ever since. I was extremely pleased with its cooling action and the way it cleansed the affected part. I can strongly recommend it for all skin affections. I procured the, remedy at Marshall's Pharinaoy." Doan's Ointment is splendid in all diseases of lite skin, eczema, piles, hives, sores, insect bites, chilblains, etc. It is perfectly safe and very effective. Very often two or three pots have cured chronic cases where other remedies have failed for yoars. Doan's Ointment is sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3a per pot, or will be posted on receipt of price by FosterMcOlellau Company, 76 Pitt street, Sydney, N.S.W. Remember the name—DOAN'S.

The match proved a capital 011 c to watch, and tho result was iu doubt right up to tho call, of time. Tbo exhibition of footwork-, especially on tho part of tho visitors', forwards, was excellent, and tho Canterbury players will carry away the high opinion of those who. for tho first time witnessed. their play. To some extent tho match was a contest between Home and colonial-born players, Every member of the Canterbury F.leven bad learned his football in the Old Country, whilst Otago players were mostly the colonial product. Tho difference' was easily, apparent in the superior. footwork of the visitors ami the increased dash of tho local men. The Canterbury forwards steadied the 101 l neatly and kept it dose to tho toe, while the Otago forwards mostly dribbled with a longer. stitch, so to speak. Biesett. at eentro forward, played sterling football, wasting nothing, but' touching accurately and at tho right moment to his various supports. Raoburn. the speedy littlo left wing, caught tho oye next, his movements lining clever and rapid, and his lino work very clean. Wood was the weakest of tho visiting forwards. As a combination tliey kept-their places and worked well together M'Creanor maintained the reputation which preceded liini, and was the best half back 011 tho ground. His splendid physique, added to his skill alike in attack and defence, constituted him a most effective unit. Binning, in a -tramre position us left half, played well. Forrest was the hotter of tho backs, hut he displayed a tendency to sky the ball. I'u.'soll played well in goal, and the tame must be said of .lack, who in a similar position saved Otag') from defeat in Iho lfet 15 minutes. The Otago team on the whole played disappointingly. 111 the early stages of the game there seemed to bo a nervousness abroad, men like Robertson. Ratlcy. and Ussher misjudging work which conld hove been confidently left to tiiem in club matches. Tho team picked up as the match progressed, but iu spite of the fac; that thev were attacking more frequently than their opponents in tho second half, the better team did not win. M'Clelland was the only forward who played up to expectations. Roliertson was not effective; Ussher was erratic until the second spell; and tho same may bo said of Irvine. Morrison, although "lie scored both goals, missed a number of opporbut thoroughly justified his inclusion in the team. Grant was one of tho best backs 011 tho Otago side, and Kilgour also was sound in defence in front of large opposition. Ratlcy seemed not greatly in demand in tho first half, and Young and M'Nisli missed more things than had been expected, tho former also kicking out far 100 frequently. In the evening the teams attended tho .theatre, after which the visitors were entertained at flipper. SCHOOLS COMPETITION. Prior to the representative match the semifinals and final of the Third Grade schools five-aside competition woro played off. the winning team being tho Albany Street School. WELLINGTON v. MANAWATU. (Pis Unitid Press Assoeumon.) PALMERSTON N., September 9. The Wellington representatives ■ played Manawatu 10-(l:\v in the presence of a large crowd of'spectators. Rain fell during tlio morning, and gave a greasy surfaeo to an otherwise fast ground, as a result of which players in the earlier stages of the mutch found it difficult to keep their footing. Later .011, however, the conditions improved. Wallace stood out of tho Wellington team owing in an injury in tho Taranaki match. . The Manawatu team gavo a creditable -display. Tho game, though in Wellington's favour, was by no means one-sided. The result was a. win for Wellington by 17 points to 6. Tho Rev. C. C. Harper was referee.
