MORE AMERICANS INTERESTED W. K. VANDERBILT AND OTHERS, 1 Mr. Zane Grey and his companions oi the fishing _ party which visited New Zealand some months ago are losing nc time in recommending the New Zea> land fishing grounds to their friends in America. Writing to a friend in Wellington from Avalon, California, Captain L. D, Mitchell, who was a member of Mr. Grey's cramp, states: "I have interested W. K. Vanderbilt in Now Zealand fioh ing, besides a number of lessor celobri ties, and I hope to see a number oi Americans go to your wonderful coun try next season. We are more enthusi ■astic than over in getting prepared tc return to Now Zealand. Thore is great activity on the yacht Fishermar. these days. She is having a now coat oi paint inside and out, and with her ne'R suit of sales she will look very trim Wo will bo at Avalon until the end oi August, then wo go to the Kogue Rivei in Oregon after the steelhead trout remaining there until the middle of Sep tember, then we trek to Mr. Grey's ranch in Arizona for the grizzly, black and cinnamon bear, and wild turkey.'
