Mr. C. J. lteakes, Assistant-Chief Veterinarian, leaves tor Britain on Friday to inaugurate the Home inspection of Mew Zealand meat.

The marriage took place last week at Greylowu ul Miss Marty liiace( Mahupukii), the well-known and accomplished, heiress of Longbusk and Tablelands properties, Wairarapa, to Mr. U. M'Gregor, of Wanganui. Mr, D. Cuddie, Dairy Commissioner, leaves Wellington next Friday for limit Britain, where he intends to inspect dairy produce as it arrives from New Zealand, and to follow it to the warehouses of those handling it, and see for himself how it carries and defrosts for sale. Mr. Cuddie will visit various manufacturing centres of rival countries, and generally acquire all knowledge and information regarding the industry which may prove useful and profitable to the New Zealand producer. Senator Foraker, who, the cables say, declares himself a candidate for nomination for the Presidency of America, is a Republican, of Ohio. He fought in the civil war, and had some success at the. Bar, but his career has been principally political. The Governorship of Ohio and a long succession of representative positions at the Republican Conventions have fallen to his lot, and he moved the nomination of the late President M'Kinley. This year Senator Foraker struck out in a new line by bitterly attacking President Roosevelt for his action in dismissing Borne negro soldiers from the service in connection with an assault at Brownsville, Texas, resulting in the death of a bar-tender. Whether President Roosevelt was in the right or in the wrong, it is said that his action had alienated fron himself and his nomineee, Mr, Taft, the great negro vote which his policy of negro appointments had, a few years ago, brought to his banner. On the other hand, Mr. Foraker's critics say that his attack on the President —whose nomination Mr. Foraker was foremost in carrying at the last Convention—is mainly due to a desire to control the negro delegations from thd South to next year's convention.
