The bowling and croquet greens at Hikutaia are in splendid condition at present, and both greens are fully taxed on fine afternoons. Mr St. John Ervine has recently suggested that few men outlive the memory of a decade following their deaths. As a test, he asked the question, “Who was Premier in 1900 ?” and'received from his friends numerous ansAvere. A friend of Mr Ervine tried the question on four friends, all men of reasonable education. One said “Mr Balfour.” A second wais emphatic that it was, Mr Asquith. A third frankly acknowledged his ignorance. The fourth said “Lord Salisbury,” but admitted that it was only a guess. Later he asked two youths of 17, “Do you know anything about Lord Kitchener ?” One replied, “Yes. he was drowned on the Titanic.”
