Tlic nor’-wcst Rale which raged on Saturday was rr.sivinsiN-' for an incident at ilia Point-lo Point meeting on Saturday. A member of the Hunt left his ear on the rise overlooking the course, and thought lie had taken sufficient precaution against accident when ho left the engine in gear. The force of the wind, however, started the vehicle off, and after moving down a slight incline, it gathered speed and careered down a steep slope. Steering a wonderfullv straight course, the driverless vehicle charged through a six-wire fence, severing two strands and breaking a post. Continuing,_ it forced its way into a small plantation at the foot 'of the slope, narrowly missing two large pine trees. The onlv damage, apart from that incurred hv the fence, was a slight tear in the hood of the car. This season of the year you need a tonic, and there is nothing better you can take than Baxter's QuMiiue Port ■\Vine. This excellent restorative aids digestion, tones up tired, jaded nerves, and promptly dispels brain fag, etc. In bottles, price -Is each, from L. J. Williamson (late W. Baxter), Chemist, Theatro Buildiaas, Timaru.
