The übiquity of New Zealanders was mentioned by Miss Norah Nutt at the Travel Club yesterday. She was, she said, staying far inland in the Argentine when she heard that a New Zealand couple, Mr and Mrs Runciman, lived in the district. Later she visited them, and was surprised to find hanging in their hall a picture of Cathedral square, taken many years ago. Mrs Runciman was formerly Miss Hay don, of Prebbleton, sister of Mrs Coleridge Farr, of Cashmere Hills. She and her husband live in what was once a Jesuit monastery. The weekly flag “500” fixture in aid of the funds of the Young Women’s Christian Association was held last evening in the Latimer Hall. The winners were;— First prizes, Mesdames W. Chammen and R. Hampton and Mr K. Ward; second prizes, Messrs H. Bowden, H. Labkin, and S. Whitp; third prizes, Messrs H. Blatter, L. Peverill, and E. Brown. The master of ceremonies was Mr C. King.

As an illustration of the vast size of estancias in South America, where area is estimated, not in acres but in leagues, Miss Norah Nutt, who recently visited the Argentine Republic, told an interesting story at the Travel Club’s meeting yesterday. Travelling to Buenos Aires, she became friendly with the wife of a settler in Patagonia, who told her that when her husband took over his estancia, he bought his sheep in Northern Argentina. They had to be driven from Northern Argentina to Patagonia. It took the shepherd and his men two years to make the journey, and when the mob reached its new owner it was four times as large as when it left Argentina.
