"TO RIDE WILD HORSES."

TOURING BARONET'S WISH.

SIR GEORGE KING ARRIVES,

Sir C?eorgc Adolphus King, Bart., arrived bv the Maunganui from Sydney this-morning on a holiday tour of New Zealand. He is armed with fishing rods and shotguns, and expects to capture the elusive trout at Taupo and to take away with him some trophies of the chase as, well.

"What I really would like to do," Sir George said, "is "to get a chance of riding some wild horses in your hack country. Wherever one goes these days there is little chance of this sport, owing to the concrete roads."

Sir 'George said he had spent some time in Victoria and Tasmania, and had visited some large sheep runs. For years now he had been " globe trotting," and had toured many countries. When he was a younger man—he is now G7 —he lived in the Argentine, being the local director of a British land syndicate. He loved the open spaces arid was quite content to go on travelling from place to place enjoying himself in his own way.
