In appearance General French is hardly an ideal cavalry officer. There is little pi the " beau sabreur " about him. He is' short and thick, and of rather ungainly figure. Although he can stick on a horse as well as anyone, rides with a strong seat, and is indefatigable in the saddle, he is not a pretty horseman. His mind is more set on essentials, on effective leadership with all it means, rather than on what soldiers call " spit and polish," the external appearance and nnt the true inwardness of things. His mental calibre is undoubtedly high; he is sound in judgment, clear-headed, patient, taking everything quietly, the rough with the smooth ; but he is always on the ppot, willing to wait, and still more ready to act, when the opportunity comes, with tremendous effect. — London Daily Mail.

Mr Alfred Saunders, at one time the Nestor of the House of Representatives, who is now living in England, writes to a member oT his family in Christchurch : — Mr Seddon has made a good use of his too desp-»tic power, and will live in history as the man who led the British colonies on the right road to the right sort of Federation. The proof he has given to the world of the New Zealand readiness to take an effective part in the affairs of the Empire will do more to secuie that colony from foreign aggression than all the money we have wasted on guns and fortifications, which are always becoming obsolete. I never expected the predictions I made in my Federation essay to be so rapidly realised, but my gratification is none the less on accouut ot their having been helped along by the strong, determined generous man whom the people of New Zealand have appointed their king, and whom I often found it necessary to criticise in no sparing terms. Mr Seddon'p bold, decisive, clear-headed action in accepting all responsibility in volunteering the utmost help to the Empire in its hour of need will atone for a multitude of sins, and raise him immeasurably in the estimation of his countrymen all i over the world.
