The Commissioner .of Police (Mr W* G. Wohlmann)jiarrived in Dunedin last night after a tour of the West Coast, the goldfields district of Otago, and Southland. He returns north ou Friday. Mr F. W. Payne, who many years ago was well known as a dredging engineer in Otago, arrived in Dunedin last evenhg from Christchurch. Though his present visit is principally in the nature of a holiday, Mr Payne is still interested in dredging here, and he will probably spend some • time in Central; Otago, visiting various goldfields before * returning north. Since leaving Dun* edin shortly before the outbreak of tha I Great War, Mr Payne’s interests hav« \ been chiefly centred in the tin dredg- < ing industry in the Federated Malay States.

Cartwright returned from Wellington by last night’s express. Mr and Mrs F. W. Payne (London),' Miss R. G. Lyon; and Mr J. T. Martin (Wellington) are staying at the Grand Hotel.
