Gow left for the South Island on a deer shooting expedition, having secured block S in the Westlawd district. Lord Latymer and party have the adjoining block. Mr. T. Jackson, Mayor, presided and Dr. Emma Buckley Turkington was the lecturer at a meeting convened to consider the question of a Chair of Obstetrics at Otago University.
