There are some 25 stalkers this year and they are accompanied by over 20 guides and packers. Everything points to a very successful season for South Westland. A complaint is made ol the Haast track, particularly on the "Westland side. The state of the track on the Otago side is, according to reports, a credit to the authorities, hut the Westland side is badly in need of attention.

It must he remembered that 2 miles off the main road costs an extra 4 miles of benzine. All tennis fixtures have again had to he postponed on account of the had weather.
