Loud Henky Phipps.— Lord Henry Phipps, the third son of the Marquis of Normanby, lately returned to the colonics. It may be interesting to young colonists to know something about him. This is what the Auckland Star says : —“ Lord Henry Phipps is a line specimen of the English gentleman, manly, frank, and endowed with a large share of enterprise and shrewdness. During his stay in Queensland he was not above being thoroughly colonised. He became learned in the mysteries of bullock driving, acquired a knowledge of systematic farming, cattle and sheep raising, and generally ‘ roughed it ’ in the bush. On one occasion he voluntarily worked for several days on a public road, which was much needed in order to open up a yvay for cattle.”
