Abbey's Effer- Salt

vescent

The disagreeable features of travelling can be overcome when you have a bottle of Abbey's Salt with you.

A change from the daily routine of living brings Head- aches, Biliousness and Con- stipation, which are so fre- quently incidental to travelling

Abbey's Salt will almost instantly relieve you of these disturbers of pleasure by its soothing effect on the Stomach, Liver and Bowels.

H. E. the Governor, with a party from Government House, arrived shortly before the first race, and witnessed the events from his privat box. The band of the Royal West Kent Regiment was in attendance, and provided music during the afternoon. The elorks of the Pai-Mutuel were busy as usual, but were not railed npon to disburse any large dividends, the highest paid being $20.70, the amount the bachers of Blas Nile, the winner of the Challenge Cup, were returned. The entries in the polo pong meo, and in the bran pie raca, ladies nomination, were as large as in any of the albeis, but from a spectator's point of view the warenis were not interesting, aud in the latter a little dissatisfaction was caused
