“You can rest assured that the question is being kept well jn sight, and as soon as it is possible, something will be done.” This remark was. made by the Hon. W. B. Taverner, Minister of Railways, to a “Sun” reporter, when asked if any move had been made towards the erection of a new railway station at Christchurch. Mr. Taverner said that there was a great deal of work to do, but the question of the new station would be discussed at the ■ first available opportunity.

“The number, the quality, and the way they were brought out was an eyeopener to me,” said Mr. J. Ogilvy, prominent New Zealand cattle expert, and judge at three New Zealand Royal Shows, who returned by the Ulimaroa after having attended the recent annual Roy.al Show at Sydney. Though he referred particularly to the Shorthorn and Hereford breeds, Mr. Ogilvy is interested personally in the Aberdeen Angus breed, which is now being regarded very favourably in Australia (states the Auckland “Sun”). He was disappointed at the numbers on show, but examined a consignment of 21 head which the New South Wales Government had imported from Canada. Of these, the bull Glencarnoeh Revolution was the best specimen of his kind Mr. Ogilvy had ever seen.
