PARTRIDGES FOE NELSON.
other day, says “ Anglo- Australian "when at the office of the s AgentGeneral for New Zealand; I found arrangements had been: made for the. sending out, at the instance of* the Nelson Acclimatisation Society, a number of partridges. -This reminds me that Mr ■; Kennaway, who had undertaken the cornniissidn to send out the birds, was himself the first, very to introduce the partridge into . New Zealand and no doiibt he was selected by the Acclimatisation Society of Nelson consequent on his known experience in such matters. Mr Kennaway, by the ,way, has ample reason for remembering his initial .Sacclimalisation, experiences, for when be took ont his first partridges it was in the olden days of tedious and difficulty voyagoi, and he was threW weeks going from London to Plymouth, and, I think,. 120 days altogether in reaching the colony.
