Persons interested will please note that the data of bblo by Messrs Turnbull and Son of Mr Toschach'a furnituro haß been tillered from Wednesday next to Monday. The new Weßleyan Church at Temuka is to be opened by special services, conducted by the Eov. G. Bond, 10-morrow. A number of Timaru friends will no doubt make a point of attending one or more of them. Tho heads of the new water-race byo-laws, to bo brought into force m tho Geraldinc County next month, are published today. Also a Bpecial order of the council levying v special water rate m the Woodbury district. In connection with the gift auction at Fairlie Creek m aid of tho Roman Catholic Church, it is notified to-day that it will bo opened by Mr Milne, and that ladies and gentlemen from Aahburton and Timaru will supply some mußic m the evening. It ia not often that a hotel, m town or country, is put up to auction, root and branch, and therefore it is worth noting that tho Woodbury Hotel, site, stock, and furniture, are to be submitted to the hammer hy Mesirs Mundell and Co., on Tueßday week. The following gentlemen have been nominated for election on the Geraldine Hood Board : — Messrs John AUman, John Charles Binskin, Thomus Wareing Corbett, William Deßenzy, Frederick R. Flatman, Lewis Grant, John Kelland, P. H. McShane, W. Upton Slack, John Allan, and Robert Skinner. A Wellington gentleman, who has lately returned from a trip to tho Hot Lakes, speaks of tho drinking habits of the Natives m that district. A largo number of English tourists havo passed through Ohineimitu lately, and it, is, he Bays, & ommon thing for the new chum "young bloods" to spend money freely m trying to make the Maoris drunkZadkiel's Almannc made a good thol. lliis year. We find under dale April lfith, the following reference- made lo the Duke of Edinburgh, who is now suffering from Malteso fever : — " Our Sailor Prince will be troubled by Saturn's stationary position bo near tho places of tho Sun and Mars at his birth ; he will do well to avoid staying m unhealthy places where fever lurks." At the kind invitation of Mr W. Upton 81ack, who is leaving the Geraldine district, a most pleasant day's Bhooting was had on the Woodsido estato on Thursday. A good number of the adjoining farmers and others turned up, and seven guns shot over tho estate. Hares provod to bo very plentiful, pnd when the shooting party broke up m the evening, it was found that over eixty hares had been bagged besides a number of pukaki. Tho weather was splendid, and all expressed themselves thoroushly pleased with their day's sport, and many warm expressions of thanks wero accorded Mr Slack for throwing open his estate for the day. We are requested to remind owners of horses that accoptauces for tho handicaps and entries for other ovonts at the forthcoming South Canterbury Jockey Club's meeting, are due at tho Grosvcnor Hotel to-night. There was v long list of nominations, and it is to bo hoped I hat the list of acceptances will bo but little shorter. The course is m splendid order. The capital growing weather we have had lately has brought on the grass so that the course bears a lurf fit for a bowling green, and tho chairman of the club, Mr E. T. Rhodes, has had a couple of men on for some weoka past to attend to matters of improvement that wero out of nature's live. The grounds about tho grand Btand are " aa pretty ao a picture," and attendants at the races ought to enjoy a stroll about them as much as or moro than "pulling a pound on." Arrangements havo been mado aa usual by the railway authorities for the Timaru race days. An advertisement to-day gives alterations ingrain times, and concessions m faros. The banks m Timaru will bo closed on the second day of the meeting. Iho following extract from a private letter to a townsman (m no way directly interested m tho subject written of) will be interesting to many of our readers. The letter is dated April IGth, and tho extract relates to a trial of the hunters sent orcr to Melbourne by Mr Rutherford : — " I saw Jefferson yesterday, and Kent over to sco the horses tried at tho Moonee Racecourse. I consider it was a rattling good trial. To go over all tho jumps — gorse, post-and-rail, water, and everything — m cold blood, and without a mistake of any kind, is about good enough for anybody ; and so the fellows seemed to think. Theycr was there, and rode Oliio, Dallam, aud Milford, I think ho is called. Jefferson rode tho marc and tho white-stockinged beast. 1 have seen a good few jumping trials, and soon, at Home, but I nevor bofore had tho pleasure of seeing horses of such good Btamp, jußt show ing the Australians what New Zealand can do. Not a eingle vcatigo of a mistake m any way, and cither going hard nt it, or quietly popping over. They were eimply beautiful. U wks rather goud when ono fellow enid, ' Oh yea, the big horse (Otaio) can hop over his jump*, but how about when ho is going hard ?' Tbeyer took him m hnrd as he could go for about a quarter of n mile, and over eoino stiff post-nud-rail, and pifT! beforo you could wink ho bad lakcu off, landed ngiin, and was off m bin etrido. Good enough.

Tho verdict of all who lmvo used the | " Jumbo " brand Baking Powder, is that it makes light, nutritoiiß and digeslivo bread, cakes, -pastry, etc. As the ingredients are of the finest qualities, and no injurious elements aro used m tho preparation, bread, etc., made with thie powder will keep fresh and moist longer than with any other powder.
