Tokomuru Bay is becoming an important shipping centre. Recently there were no less than six vessels in the bay on one day. Since bis retirement from active business pursuits, Mr James Patten, the ex-"Wheat King," has (the Chicago correspondent of the Daily Chronicle states) devoted himself to philanthropy, in which be declares be finds more interest than in dealing in wheat and cotton. As present be is taking up the cause of the Young .Men's Christian Association of Chicago, and has already given large sums of money for the propagation of the association's work. Mr Patten says that the association is, and should be, one of the leaders of thought and examples and he promises to "pauperise" himself, if necessery, in order through it to help bis fellow-men. "The Young Men's Christian Association," says Mr Patten, "is destined to play as important a part in modernity as the church itself," and he adds that, like Mr Carnegie, he wishes to die poor. What surprised Mr Win. Brown (the head of the Wellington firm of Laery and Co.), on bis recent tour abroad, was the perfection of the British roads. He motored some 7000 miles all through Great Britain, and, leaving out the urban thoroughfares, which he expected to fill*, well kept, be found a remarkable absence of dust and dirt on the roads. They were sprinkled and tar coated miles and miles out of towns of any size. "The system of constant repair seems to be splendidly organised. The traffic along such roads is very large," lie continued, "but so well are matters arranged by the local authorities that roads are never allowed to got into disrepair. You see a man here and there along the road with his own heap of broken metal and smaller stuff on his own section. He is responsible for it, and I must say the work is most conscientiously done. Is it a real pleasure to travel along the British roads, especially those of England."
