ENGLISH BREED
STOCK STILL THE BEST MR. GREENWOOD RETURNS Pleased with the success at Riccarton of Honour, for which he paid 2,400 guineas, Mr. G. D. Greenwood, sportsman and station holder, arrived back from England by the Aorangi yesterday afternoon and was making an effort to go to the Cup meeting with a minimum of delay. He attended the meetings at Ascot and Goodwood and tried to buy one or the Old Country, but nothing was offered to suit him. England, he said, was still holding its own in the breeding of stock, cattle, sheep and horses, which were still' the finest in the world. Farming and the Mr, Greenwood woollen trade were not too prosperous in Great Britain, and the “dole” seemed to be working against the good of the country. Men would not work as long as they could get the dole. Mr. Greenwood went Home on the same ship as the ex-Administrator of Samoa. Sir George Richardson. “At Geneva, Sir George got a splendid reception and he was exonerated from charges which had been laid against him. It was a greater deception, than he had expected.” Mr. Greenwood has been away since the end of April. He spent a considerable time in France and came back through America.
