TARANAKIANS AT HOME.

Tbb London correspondent of the Auck'ac d Herald says: Mr. George Putt (Taranaki) has enne to this country in regard to family nutters, which he expects will be arranged ia time to allow of his leaving on his return to New Zealand in July. Hs travelled Homeward by the Oana-dim-Pacific route and New York, and tells me that be had a pleasant journey. Mr. Pitt sayß that the first New Zeahnder he met on arrival here was Mr, Morey, of New Plymouth, whom he found looking very well. Mr. J. B. Olarkson (New Plymouth) reached London in the middle of the week. He has come mainly on business. He travelled via San Francisco and New York, and stayed for a day or two at several places on the way, crossing to England by the s.s. Philadelphia to Southampton. He intends remaining principally in London until the beginning of August, with visits in between to Coventry, Birmingham, Manchester, and c f ber cycle-manufacturing centres; later he will visit relatives in Yorkshire and then go on to Scotland before returning to London. He is anxious to see the automobile contest for the Gordon-Bennett Cup, and hopes to go to France and Germany in order to acquaint himself with all the latest improvements in regard to cycles and motors. He will probably take back to the colony one or two cycle agencies, and perhaps one for automobiles. He returns to London before finally leaving on his return to tha colony, travelling io all probability by way of New York, Bufiilo, Chicago, and through Canada to Vancouver. Mr. George Moir, of Eltham, and Mr. W. Gadsby, of Patea, are at present in Scotland, and in one of the Scottish pipers I notice the following paragraph concerning them:—"Two New Zealand farmers who are spending a week or two in Oromar, are greatly ■urprised at tne fattening qualities of some of our black Aberdeenshire cattle. Two that they s:iw yesterday they describe as two of the bes<; beasts of their kind tbat thay have seen since coming to this country. The two colonial gentlemen are expensive breeders of cattle in the Taranaki district, and are to spend the next few months in visiting all the agricultural shows in England and Scotland that i-, is possible for them to attend." I heir that at the endcf last wetk Mr. Moir and Mr. Gadsby visited Mr. P. Strachan's farm, bom whence His Majesty the King draws a large supply of bis cattle for the Balmoral estate. They were much interested in ths splendid specimeus of black polled Aberdeenshire .cattle which they saw, and which they think could not bs bsaten in the world for maiket purposes. Mr. and Mrs. Moir and Mr. and Mrs. Gadsby will be leaving Inver-ness-shire shortly, in order to attend the Willesden Royal Show.
