Tlio jockey, F. D. Jones, who recently returned to New Zealand, says that all the English jockeys ride with short leathers, but none of them adopt the extreme American seat. Ho states that there is only one point about which English jockeys seem a bit slow, and that is in getting off the mark, at which he is confident Hewitt will beat any of them. Touching on the quality of the English horses, Jones remarked : “ There is no question that taken as a whole the raco'horses in England are much finer animals than those in New Zealand and Australia. This was one of the first things that struck mo. There arc, of course, numbers of small and commonlooking ones amongst them, but many are simply perfectly shaped animals grcai, fine horses of splendid quality, Says the Daiinevirkc Advocate: —- There is considerable perturbation amongst the milk suppliers in the Umutaorou Block just now over the advent of a Celestial who has recently settled amongst them, and desires to supply milk to the factory. The Chinaman in question, it appears, has taken up a farm and stocked it with cows, and a few mornings ago he appeared at the factory with his milk cans. After .inspection, his contribution was accepted by the manager, and all appeared to be going well for the Celestial until the chairman of directors arrived on the scene and issued an order that no more milk was to be accepted from tlic Chinaman. This action, we understand, is not endorsed by several of the other directors, who contend that tlie question which they have to consider is not one of the nationality of the supplier, hut whether tlic milk supplied is clean and fit for manufacture. In this case there appears to he no doubt as to the fitness of the milk, and consequently the matter will probably not he allowed to rest where it is.

Inoluded in the steerage passengers were 66 assisted immigrants, their destination being: Lyttelton 23, Wellington 22, Auckland 10, Port Chal mers 8, Westport 2, and Napier 1. Immediately on the arrival of the Rimutaka in the stream, Mr J. E. March, chief immigration officer, went off to the vessel, and after the health officer had completed his inspection of the passengers, the former met the immigrants, in order to furnish them with any information they might require. The majority of the arrivals describod themselves as farmers, dairy farmers, and farm laborers, whilst the list of names included one shoein g-smith, one carpenter, and ore miner, the last-named being on his way to Westport.

Soveral of them, when questioned by a reporter, stated that they had not, up to the present, made any definite plans, hut expressed their intention of *• having a look round,” None of themsccmedto have any doubts that they would soon find employment, The appearance of all was decidedly in their favor, and doubtless before long they will he settled in jobs ; " at all events, those who were spoken to by the reporter seemed to be very hopeful of obtaining work.

Tlio reason why any wholesome food is not properly digested is because the stomach lacks some important element of digestion. Some stomachs lack peptone, others are deficient in gastric juice or hydrochloric acid. The' one tiling necessary in any case of poor digestion, is to supply those digestive elements which the stomach lacks, and nothing does this so thoroughly and safely as Dr. Sheldon’s Digestive Tabules.. They digest what you eat, thus giving the stomach a rest and assistance until it is restored to its normal action and vigor. For sale by A. AY.- J. Mann, Agent, Chemist.
