Mr. Darling, a Charterhouse master, is to be the leader of the party, with Lieutenant Smith-Dorien as his assistant. The advance agent is Mr. Francis Portal. He will arrive in Wellington on January 14 by the Corinthic.

The party will leave New Zealand on March 28 for London, visiting the Australian capitals en route.
