AORANGI ARRIVES.

RACING MEN FROM OVERSEAS. TWO STOWAWAYS. After a good passage from Vancouver, the Aorangi arrived yesterday afternoon with 230 passengers, of whom 84 landed at Auckland. The vessel is to continue her voyage to Sydney this evening, 100 passengers having booked from Auckland. To take over the appointment of Spanish Consul-General in Australia, Signor Mariano Amoedo is a through passenger to Sydney. The consulate has been transferred from Melbourne to the New South Wales capital. Signor Amoedo had served his country in the Foreign Office in Madrid, and was for a long period at Washington. The general manager of the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company in London, Mr. G. M. Reid, arrived to spend some months in New Zealand before proceeding to Australia and South Africa. Mr. R. Gelletly, a Vancouver stockbroker, is on a visit to the Dominion. He has a racing stable in Vancouver, and races in both Canada and America. The victory of Pliar Lap at Agua Caliente had turned much interest towards the turf of New Zealand and Australia. Another visitor interested in the turf is Mr. Y. Richardson, of California, who has come out with a commission to buy horses for American sportsmen in Australia and New Zealand. One of hia clients is Mr. H. P. Whitney, an American millionaire. Captain M. Godley, A.D.C. to the Governor of Fiji, is to spend a furlough in New Zealand. Miss Graecio Houlder, authoress and lecturer, is returning to Australia. She was the first commissioner of Girl Guides in Australia, and a book on the philosophy of scouting is one of her latest writings. She has studied the liquor question exhaustively in a number of countries, and has collated her impressions in a book, a work in which the Government of six countries cooperated. During the voyage two stowaways were discovered. One, an Australian, boarded the vessel at Vancouver, and was discovered after the Aorangi left port. He'will be taken to Sydney. The other, an American, who concealed himself on the ship at Honolulu, was handed over to the police at Suva.
