Yesterday afternoon a young lady was passing Victoria Water, and at the time was wheeling a two-year-old child in a gocart, to the front of which was affixed a large paper bag containing a. new hat. The wind caught the bag, which broke loose, and, with the hat, blew into the lake, where it sailed away like a model yacht. The young lady left the go-cart and waded into tne lake in chase of the hat, but 6he had not gone far when perambulator and child were blown into the lake too. The child was rescued by some of the committee of the Model Yacht Club, who also rescued the hat by means of a canoe The child was subsequently dried and attended to in the club's shed. AUTHENTIC MEDICAL OPINIONS WORTH KNOWING: — Dr Osborne saysj "I use SANDER AND SONS' EUCALYPTI EXTRACT as a spray for nasal catarrh, low fever, asthma, etc., with great success. I find this preparation superior to all others." Dr Stahl; "I have used various preparations of Eucalyptus, but I got, better results from SANDER AND SONS' EUCALYPTI EXTRACT than from an^ other." Dr Preston • " I never use any Eucalyptus preparation other than SANDER AND SONS', as I found tho others to be almost useless." Dr Hart- "It goes without saying that SAN DER AND SONS' EUCALYPTI EXTRACT is the best in the market." .In influenza, aU fevers, throat and lung trouble, diphtheria, diarrhoea, dysenteiy, kidney complaints, rheumatism, wounds, sprains, ulcers, etc, it is invaluable. See that you get SANDER AND SONS', and reject spurious preparations, which are sometimes supplied by unscrupulous dealers.— (Advt.)/ It is said that falconry is being taken up by many people of wealth and distinction in England. It is, however, a very costly hobby, even the most ordinary hawks used for falconry costing as much as £100 apiece. They require most careful attention, and it is difficult to get men qualified to take charge of them under a salary of £200 a year. It is the most scientific and difficult of all sport* and differs in this from the others' that it can be followed in one form or another all the year round.
