Miss Bowers i was from her childhood extremely fond 1 of horses, anil she became an expert rider. Then she discovered her faculty for drawing, and submitted sketches, usually depicting scenes in the hunting field, to the editor of "Punch." She hunted regularly in Hertfordshire, and thus had excellent opportunity for finding sporting studies, and the jokes and incidents which she depicted with so much skill were usually the results of her own'observation. In Mr. Punch's pages the name of "G. Bowers" was often seen, to the satisfaction of a wide public. Sho , began her career in 18G6, and in the seventies her sketches were well known. To John Leech and Mark Lemon she was in- ' debted for kindly encouragement, and sho continued her contributions for ten years, cqasing them on the death of Mr. Shirley Brooks. It was Miss Bowers's love of horses which may be said to have brought about her marriage to Mr. Henry Edwards, M.R.C.V.S., who shared her enthusiasm. Ho died some while ago. Mrs. Edwards always . retained a deep interest in "Punch."' ~ Mr. C. A. Wilkinson, of Eltham, and Miss Wilkinson, left by tho Makura on Friday from Auckland on a short visit to Canada. Miss E.
