WANGANUI TROTTING CLUB.

SUCCESSFUL EASTER CARNIVAL. The Wanganui Trotting Club's Easter Carnival, which was brought to a conclusion yesterday, must be written down as a big success. The weather was fine on both days, and the attendance was large, while in nearly all of the events big fields faced the starter. Though most oi the events were won rather easily, and generally speaking long-start horses scmred the places, some first-class trotting was seen. In the Tramway Handicap yesterday, Golden Rose gave a remarkably fine display, covering tho mile in 2.26J —a performance on such a track ;;u;le, gras*) which must rank with the best done in the Dominion. Golden Rose is owned by Mr J. C. Montefiore, who also owns Erin's Traoey, winner of the Cup and President’s Handicap on the first day, and Pukekura, who scored in the Ballar.ee Stakes yesterday. Tho three horses named all trotted in fine stylo, and were evidently in capital fettle. Mr Montefioro is one of the best of sports and most [kjpillar of owners, and hence his successes were very well received. Speculation yesterday was fairly brisk, Messrs Ncylon and Spriggens putting through the" sum of .£3417, making a total of .£7368 for the meeting, as against JE3900 last year. Throughout, the management was first class, and the officials, all of whom worked most enthusiastically, are to be congratulated on the undoubted success achieved. The following are the concluding results of the gathering: TRAMWAY HANDICAP, of 20 sovs; one mile; saddle. J. C. Montefiore’s b m GOLDEN ROSE, by Craigarusky—Hose, lOsce 1 C.

Lady General Vas in front all the way, and won by a couple of lengths from Cinderette, who finished very fast, John H. two lengths further away. Time, 2.37. Tho clerk of the weather, who had been exceedingly kind to Wanganui holidaymakers during Easter, decided on a change early this morning, since when there has been almost continuous, and at times very heavy, rain. Mr P. G. Moffatt, secretary of the Nelson Fruitgrowers’ Association, has received cable advice that part of Ridley Holding’s Nelson apple shipment was sold at Vancouver at from 8s to 10s. Growers will receive only moderate net figures. The balance is to be sold in London. We are informed that a meeting of tho Wanganui Borough Council’s employees was called for Saturday evening last for the purpose of entering a protest against a circular issued to the staff by the Borough Engineer asking the men if they were satisfied with their conditions of work. We understand that out of a total of over 150 employees less than 40 attended, and on a vete being taken opinion was considerably divided, though our informant states that a resolution was passed protesting against the circular. We have further been informed by several other of the Council’s employees that over 100 of the men have, without any pressure, signed a statement to the effect that they are perfectly satisfied with present conditions. They characterise’ tho recent statement of Cr. Alderton, that the staff was “seething with discontent,” as ridiculous, and state that, generally speaking, the greatest good feeling prevails between the staff and the Engineer.

REPAIRS HAlß.—Nature always tries to repair damaged hair. Sometimes slid Mieceeds—very often she does not—thou the hair falls—conigs out iu coni Mulls—baldness is in sight. Gii:> Nature tile help required. Mlisc.-.ge little of “H can's Dancies” into tie : c;;ip and'hair roots drily, ami watch new hair grow. “Hean’s Dandos” is prepared from the prescription of a London Hair Specialist. It was designed to step tailing hair, and is decidedly effectual. “flean’s Dapdos” repairs the hair, touches it* tip, gives it new life, makes it soft and glossy. It is fragrant and pleasant to use, and is the most cleanly hair dressing any Ir.dy can have on her dressing table. Price 2s and Ss a bottle —the large bottle is doublo tir.e. HEAD'S "BABICOF." .There is much comfort in knowing that a tiny, helpless baby has the best of everything. That “Heap’s Bsbicof” stands the qumi of cough mixtures for infants and children is undisputed. 'T,lcan’s Babied'” is simple, cafe, and good for babies everywhere. 1b Gd a bottle at most grocers, and Heap's Pharmacy. MEAN’S ■BUTTEEFRUIT PILLS—A general family pill made entirely of herbal ingredients, and quite free of dangerous drugs. One or two Butter!'ruit Pills taken occasionally keep the body clean within—a healthy and pleasing appearance without. Yon will admit that it is a good and sensible plan to' keep the body up to high water mark of good health all the time. Those who take Heap’s Butterfruit Pills when a little out of sorts are wise—a stitch in time caves hundreds. 2s a box at Heap’s Pharmacy, MISMATEO EYES. Few people have eyes that are alike. One eye may be near-sighted—the other farsighted. One may be normal, the other defective. Not wearing glasses when thev are required—or wearing glasses that have not been correctly fitted to your eye defect are both bad for the eyes. Wearing glasses that arc right is eye-comfort, avoidance of eye strain, and induces not only eye-health, but general health as well. I take pardonable pride in all optica! work, and charge reasonable prices only. Doctors’ prescriptions of spectacles accurately prepared. C. W.
