A. Harcourt, Koiterangi, which realised 17£ d per llj.

Who is tho oldest living resident in New Zealand? This is a matter -if considerable uncertainty, but we have one candidate for the honour. . Our candidate is a sister of the late Mr T. C. Williams.

While in London recently we met her son, a healthy strong man of seventy.—New Zealand Dairyman."
