The late Mr. C.

S. Atkinson (brother of Sir Harry Atkinson, at one time Premier of New Zealand), as a solicitor, and after his death carried Q" the business solus until a decade ago, when he handed over the reins to his son, Mr. Richmond Fell. The deceased was born in Ncison in 1884, and after preparatory training was sent to King's College, London, and tlienco to St. John's College, Oxford, where he £ook his degree in 1877 and was admitted as a barrister of the Inner Temple in July of that year. Mr. Fell was a disciple of life in the open, and all forms of manly sport were as an open book to him. As a young man at Oxford he was a fine swimmer, and was fof foiir years stroke of his college boat in the annual eight-oared rowing contests. He was as much $t home on horseback as on foot, and in the days of coaching was a noted whip. If he favored one sport piore than another it was yachting. He had a deep-seated love for a tight little cmft and a spanking breeze, was a safe hand at the tiller, and his knowledge of the weather in Blind Bay is said to have been positively uncanny. Later in life he became a keen amateur photographer, and was accounted one of the best in the Dominion. Less than a score of years ago he developed a taste for painting, and turned out some highly creditable .work. Add to these qualities a cultured taste for music, and the range of the ■leccaDod's attriibues are fairly compreilieasively covered.
