Davis and Dufaur, of the firms of Messrs. Hancock and Co. and L. D. Nathan and Co. At the Palace Hotel Mr. Waters has been succeeded in the management by Mr. B. Taylor, formerly clerk and storekeeper at the Okoroire Sanatorium. Mr. Taylor, it will be rcmembered, married one of the daughters of Mr. L. Callaghan, manrger of Olcoroire, and the appointment of his daughter and son-in-law to the Palace is loolced upon with much favour, as Okoroire is one of the bestappointed hotels in the district. Mr. Taylor, it may he remarked, represented the firm of Messrs. L. D. Nathan , and Co. on the gumfields for some years. At Lake House, Mr. Urquhart has been succeeded by Mr. H. Friston, formerly of the Forestor's Arms, Christchurch.
