SPORTING.
At the Race Course.
Royal weather favoured those at the this morning. Very little was done over the long distances, most of the ponies starting from the half-mile or quarter-mile out, but posts. Emerald King was two fast quarters was all he did. My notes last night concerning the doings of this pony were rather unfavourably commented upon at the course to-day. That, however, will show you that "Chinga" notes are tooked for in the columns of your parer. I may be also pardoned for here referring to the facetious paragraph which appeared in the CHINA MAIL of last night, concerning myself and other early risers. I appreciate it.
Thanks to the writer, but, with no intentions of being termed impolite, the inspiration required for such an effort I feel aura eclipses the enthu- entertained, writor ever siasm the other than theoretically, of paying an early visit to the Valley during training opera-
tions. Early rising, he admits, should be encouraged, but such an assertion requires come backing up, don't you think? Why not a visit to the racecourse! Better late than never. Of course this has little to do with the Prince's visit, so I will feel my- self attered if it finds room in your paper to day.
The following times were taken :-

LADY HALDON has publicly acknowledged the great benefits she has derived from Dr Williams' pink pills. My heart became seriously affected,' said her ladyship. Symptoms of advanced anemia showed, with most acute indigestion. Food caused me such misery that I practically starved myself. My whole system was deranged, and I could not sleep. I gave a trial to Dr Williams' pink pills, and within three days was astonished at the marvellous improve. ment, Very soon I wra delighted to find my complaint had vanished. My goneral health was such that I had not enjoyed for
many years."

Not only for women, bat for men also, are Dr Williams' pink pills valuable. This has been proved by countless instances of cures published in the newspapers. These pills have cured anemia, indigestion, pal- pitations, consumption, cozema and skin disorders, neuralgia, St. Vitus' dance, rheumatism, sciation, paralysis, locomotor araxy, and ladies' ailments. But only the genuine pills cure-those labelled in full, Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people, Substitutes are useless; in case of doubt
