It will be seen from our report m another column that the Stewards of tbe late race meeting have disqualified the Jockey Burr, and the horse Minette, m consequence 4>f alleged pulling m the Tradesmen's Purse. We may remark that Burr has hitherto borne an unblemished reputation ac a jockey, and it is difficult to tee what object he could ; have m pnlhsg the horse, the only possible reasion being the chance of getting ! a light handicap at Foxton. It it how- : ever necetsary that the very suspicion ef foul riding should be prevented if possible, and the prompt action of the ! Stewards will doubtless act as a warning toothers. Mr S. J. Podeviu of Rangitikei Road J has returned from his trip fo Auttra- , lie. . i A steady man, able to milk, and uted j to stock is required by Mr S. J. Podevin. The Jsue Douglas will leave Foxton for Wellington on Sunday Ist June, at Ip.m. Minette, After Dark, and Silver Btreak, proceeded to Foxton to*day, m ' charge of Messrs E Browne, and C Hart* ley, to fulfil their engagements at the rsoes there to-morrow. Tbe Palmenton Borough Council meets thit evening to consider the burgess littt for tbe various wards. The entries and acceptance* for the Foxton Races are published m another '. column. The races take place to«morrow and as the railway time-table has keen specially arranged to suit visitors from this portion of the district we have no donbt many will attend. If the weather proves fin* there should be a capital day'f sport. Anything of importance happened *taile you've been g neP" said the Vermont man to his neighbour just back from a journey.

Emotion and business don't jing'e. ' -'• -:•• A Misunderstanding.— A man m a Vermont train vas heard to groan so frightfully that the pasjengers took pity on him, and one of them gave him a drink out of a whiskey flask, "Do you feel better ?" avked the giver. •'! do," said he wbo groaned, "What ailed yon ?" " Ailed me P" Ye« ; what made you groan so ?" Groan ! Great land of freedom. I was singiog." #An Irishman, having accidentally' broken a large pane of glass inja window, was making the best of his way out of sight, when unfortunately for Pat, the proprietor stole. a march on him, and having seized him by the collar, ex* j claimed, " You broke my window, fellow ,' did you not?" To be sure I did," said Pat, "and didn't you see me running home for the money to pay for it P" Mr Labouchere m an interview with the editor of the Pall Mall' Gazette it reported to have said.* — "The great lack of the press is a want of reality. There is. too much wool m the leaders. One leading article a day is as much at anybody wUI digest. The rest should be note, aud short tub-leaders. Londoners do not care for politics. One good bloody murder from a newspaper point of view, it worth more tban any* thing else that can happen ; and a murder m England interests Londoners a thousand times more than a campaign on the Nile. A person, who claims to be Arthur Orton writes to the Melbourne Press through Walter Fossey, of 41, Brighton** street, East Richmond, that m the event j of £100 being paid into the bank to his : name, and an agreement being properly drawn up for the money to become his upon the performance of the terms of the agreement, be will emerge from the obscurity which has surrounded him for many years, and will satisfactorily prove himself to be tha "real old original" Arthur Orton, whose name has been so deeply associated with the Tichbourae case. t Milan. Italy , has recently become possessed of a treasure m tbe shape cf a clock which is made entirely of bread. The maker is a Peruvian, who for three years has been employed m the construction ofjebis siugularcuriosity . Too poor to purchase metal, and with only a certain allowance of bread daily, he deprived himself regularly of the toft portioni of his loaves, satisfying hit hunger with the cru.°ts. He used a certain salt to solidify his material, the various pieces when dry thus becoming perfectly bard and insoluble, to water. The clock is of a respectable size and goes well. The case, also made of hardened bread, dis» plays great talent m design and 'execution. In the course of bis speech at Dunedin __r Larnach is reported to have said to the electors — "Your very clothes, your wife's clothes, your children s dolls' clothes, your bens and their eggs, and the useful crockery of your bed-chambers, are all taxed. I cry, For shame 1 and I look for you to echo Shame ! at such a law mso fair a country, and she so young." At a meeting of the Stewards of the Manawatu Racing Club last evening the following accounts were passed for payment: Powell & Co, £5 17s; J. P. Leary, £4 13s 6d ; S. Abrahams, 6s ; H. T. Akers, £3 14s Id ; J, McKelvie, £6 4s; Daily Times, £7 14s 6d ; Parkes £1 19.. . y;yY : y.; ; ' A photographer, with; French sympathies, at Straaburg, picked up the pret* I tiest girl m the place and took her picture, she being dressed at an Alsatian peasant m mourning. He labelled the photograph "Son owing Alsace," and there was a rapid sale of them to thote who are opposed to German rule. The German authorities however arrested the photographer for seditious practices. On tbe trial it was developed that "Sorrowing Alsace" was engaged to be married td a Prussian soldier belonging to the garrison. There is much hilarity m Germany over the incidents Acard bearing the following insti uction hangs conspicuously upon the. safe m one of the stores on Water Street. Nantgatnck, Conn..: "To burglars—. We keep no money m this safe. This is for fire only ; our money is. up at the house. Come up. We have four thot* gun-, two rifles, three bprte-pistbli and one revolver, all lokded and ready for use, and warranted to kill at ten rods. Time tpent here is time watted.

What is said to be the largest gasmain m Europe, if not m the world, is now being laid down from Charing Cross to Pall Mall and m other places m London, The diameter is four feet, tbe laro gestmain previously laid m London having not exceeded a diameter of three feet* Over twenty three milet, of this four foot main, m diverging lines, are said to have already been laid from the great gas-works at Beckton by Woolwich, the work having begun ten years ago. But it was only a month or two ago that the gat company began the work of continuing one of the lines of the great main from Hor* ferry road, Westminister, through the hem of London, to Goswell road, St Luke's where stands the chief district station of the company, Mr T, R. Walton announces that he will give his second lecture on Spiritualism m the Town Hall on Monday even* ing. The Star learnt from unofficial sources that Mr Rochefort will arrive m Feilding either to-day or to-motrow to com* mence tbe exploration of the Oroua Valley Route for the Central Railway. A party of hia men have been m Feilding for two or three days. We regret to learn that Mr Rawlins, plumbery met with a rather severe ac* cident yesterday. He wag engaged with some plumbing work connected with Mr Colville's hew residence, and was going up the ladder to tbe roof of the building when the ladder brake, canting Mr Rawlina to fall through the, window, breaking the glass which cut his hand somewhat, severely, " German Syrup."— No other medicine m the woild was ever given such a test of its curative qualities as Bosohee't .German Syrup. In three years two million four hundred thousand fmall bottles of this medicine were distributed free of charge to Druggists m the United States of America by those afflicted with Consumption, Asthma, Croup, severe Coughs, Pneumonia and other disease, of the throat and lungs, giving tbe afflicted undeniable proof that German . Syrup will cure them. The result Baa been that Druggists m every town and village iv civilized countries are recommending it to their customers. Go to your Druggist and ask what they know about it.
