Wairarapa Daily Times. [ESTABLISHED 1878.] WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1894. GLOBE TROTTERS.

3 It is the fashion among Nev? Zealanders and Australians to sneer at the tourists, derisively termed globe trotters, who are visiting these shores in irfcreasing numbers y9ar by year. But if we were wise enough to see even our own interests, we would receive the travellers with courtesy, aud by opening up the country enable them to view it with comfort and , ease. At a dinner at Melbourne, ' given in honour of His Exoellenoy our Governor, it was remarked that by .. the help of Providence and frozen mutton New Zealand had been placed on the high road to prosperity after the period of depression, but gigantio as is tho income derived from the pastoral industry, it is probable that development of the tourist trsffio would be even more profitable to the railways, steam-boat companies, and all those who cater for tourists, and through them to the country generally. Facilities for travelling have increased very largely the last few yeamj and, as Lord Bosebery wittily remarked at a recent meeting of the Colonial Institute" When Lord Salisbury went to the Colonies it was o . marvellous episode in his life, and il in ie now being dug out of tho recesseß ol his past aB if he had been a Sir Waltei Raleigh or a Bir Franols Drake. Bui in these days, if you meet a friend al the street corner, he is often just or '- the way to catch the boat for - New Zealand or the Gape, ant he regards it not more nor at much as our grandfathers did i ~ journey from Edinburgh'to London,' When" m consider the amount o: / money that is poured into Scotland '/ and Switzerland—the two ohief playgrounds of Europe—any efforts 8> required to turn this golden stream t( these shores should receive th( warmest support of all New Zealanden interested in the material, prosperity of the Colony, that these islands car or offer more attractive sights in nature! scenery than' any other country bat been reiterated so frequently as almosl sh. to weary us, but it may be repeated once more, if only for the benefit oi that numerous class who express themselves discontented - with tin tameness and lack of variety in Nev, Zealand, and yet bave nevet visitec the Hot Lake district,, done th< E Sounds trip, or scaled the oraggj and snow-topped mountains of th< Southern Alps. It is not only th( T scenery that will attract visitors t< our shores, for many Englishmer "" will travel far to secure the firsfc-claeafishingand shootingwhiot can be obtained in this country, ant ■S' on this account, if on no other, thi excellent work done by our Acclimatization Societies should receive mori Bupport than it dees at present fron er' the general public. The repent visi of Mr Cook, the world-famed travel ling and tourist agent,-who hai expressed himself in common with al onrvisitors, oharmed at thevariei scenery we cau show, and. the additioi i6t , of New Zealand to Murray's well known series of guide books, shoul give a fresh impetus to the touris traffic, It only remains for th inhabitants to take advantage of thei • opportunities. ' 'regret; that, i: common with all old settlers in thi : district, we deplore the loss of and '— friend in Mr Farqnahar Gray, Iti } o uot only that (he late Mr Gray, was a ' old identity who helped to maka Ms^t terto'n a town j.who grow and prosperei * with its-growth and prosperity,.but h was also a true sterling man-hones as the day, and justm.every; relation (bipoflife, -HiekiDdlineHOfdispoßi

His name was a "J household word, and although since ■" he gave'up business in Queen«tat 0 J and settled on bis farm at Waioga'wa be has been less accessible, he bah fl j Btilleome into town once or twice a (, ( week and rubbed shoulders with many a of his old friends, Long before he t< settled at Waingawa his health gave tl way, and those who know what he ■ baa suffered during the last ten years v: are not surprised at the sad news B to-day. Uewasnot a man to complain a or make much of his ailments, and t many who met him were quite unaware that lie was fighting against i] a mortal malady.

The sparrows are stated to have de- j dared "var against the bot fly in the • Canterbury district, and to this cause the 1 Secretary of the Agricultural Society • attributes the fact that the fly is less , prevalent this year than last. , Tho complaint regarding lack of con- ■ veniencea on the Wairarapa trains will soon be met,says the Post. Mr Rotheram, the Locomotive Superintendent, has now in course of construction at the Petone workshops three new balcony carriages similar to those in use en the West Coast lines, and which are bo popular with travellers. These carriages are provided with lavatories entered from the balcony. It ir expected that two of the new carriages will be completed within a couple of months. One will then be attached to each of the through trains on the Wairarapa line. ' Some Cartertoniana wont to Pahiatua the other day in search of work, They found plenty, but as the mosquitos were numerous and ravenous, and lodgings not to be got they returned home, Wo understand (says the Observer) they intend returning Bhortly with spring mattresses and curtains to dupe the man eaters aforemontioned.

Crops at Gladstone are not equal to 1 laßtyear, ' Maßtorton's first pound was erected beside tho old omithy, in Churoh-street, oponed by Mr Farquharliray in 1865, "Brunie,' writing in the Austra- ' lasian, says :-Wever since Victoria became famous throughout the world for \ its golden fleece has the wool market i beeninsuoh a peculiar condition aa at 1 the present time, or the outlook for the breeder of high-olasß merino sheep more . gloomy. The puzzled aheop-farmor i knows not what description of wool to , raise so as. to suit tho market. The ( beautiful lino lustrous wools, so long the I glory of the Western district, and now . almost lowest in tho scale of value, while , the coarsest of the comeback and orosßl bred nools are in the highest price was ; obtained by wool from a farmer's flock , of croasbreds, ■ which realised several 3 pence per lb more than has been 9 realised by the wool of many merino 9 flocks that havo bsen ' bred with tho greatest care for nearly half , a cbntuty. What is to be the future o of our wool industry is a question that is 0 being anxiously asked by sheepownors 3 all over Australia. The experts, who r purchase the wool at the Australian 1 marta, are apparently aB much at sea in r this matter as the Bheepowners. A flockmaster lately asked a woolbuyer if he would advise him to alter the breeding 11 of his flock, so as to grow wool to suit 0 the present taste, and it lie would guar- °, antee the fashion to last three years, The reply of tho expert was:—" 1 0 would not guaranteo that it will last e threo months."
