,!•. SYDNEY, 14th January.

Sydney /this week displayed great in terest whfenit was honoured by a visit from Tone and Ted, who are known as the "£2CiOOO twins," two. rich young New Zesilanders who arrived from London joy the Oronsay on their way to their; native country of • New Zealand. Thjey are nine years of age, small, dark, epKnest, and" Tath'er shy, and they got thi»ir nickname from the fortune which Tras left to them by their grandfather, I Mr. Felix Campbell, who was one of the pioneers of > the "West Coast of New Zealand. ■•

■/'■" Tom.!' and Ted . are accompanied in their Arorld travels by their mother arid fatherjj Mr. and Mrs.' F. M. Dennehey. They rwere born in the Dominion, and they are returning there :to attend school. They are entirely unspoiled, and it is the desire of the mother that they ; should be kept free of all fuss. They.'have not even been told that they will fever have more to" spend" than any othetr boy. For two years they have been travelling, and during that time they have visited most countries * of. the would. Tom, who' is all freckles, admitted that he liked England best of all.; He was very fond of travelling. However, he is by no means ambitious ani| announced quite innocently, when he leached Sydney, "I am going to be a taxi-driver when J ( grow up. I would just love to drive a taxi.''

Ted, on the other hand, seems to have an eye and an ear for the picturesque, for he said he was going to, study Spanish. He thought it was; the prettiest language he had; ever heard. Even though they had seen most: of the' cities of the world they expressed a keen desire to explore Sydney.
