The Right Rev. A. W. Averill,} Bishop of Waiapu, is at present in } Gisborne. This morning he set out| on a long journey on horseback., visiting the coastal settlements. ! The Hon. Jas. Carroll will leaves Gisborne for Wellington by Sun-' day’s steamer to attend a series of} Cabinet meetings prior to the j Prime Minister’s departure for’ England. Messrs. Dalgety and Company, i Limited, have received cable ad-; vice of the death of Mr. William; Wilton Phipps, Deputy-chairman of the Company’s London Board of ■ Directors, which took place on the; 22nd inst. ' Messrs, Lundon and Stewart advertise that to-morrow at 10.30 a.in. sharp they will hold their, monthly horse sale at their Kara-, mu Yards. Hastings, where they, will offer 150 head of all classes of' horses. Mr. H. lan Simson, who has been; on a visit io Poverty Bay, returned home by to-day steamer. ‘When in Poverty Bay he accompanied the Hon. James Carroll on a trip through the country districts. He was a guest at the banquet given; on Tuesday night by the Gisborne} Bowling Club to commemorate the! Turanganui Club’s victory at the; recent tournament held at Auck-i land. Responding to the toast, i “The Visitors,” Mr. Simson said: —i “The district of x Poverty Bay is j second to none in the Dominion for the production of butter; but as far as I can see little has been done. You are practically married , to wool. The country I have seen , during the. past week is unsurpass- i able in New Zealand for the production of butter and cheese, and ; I regret to say it is somewhat ham- i pered for want of cattle. The time will come, I hope in the near fu- ; ture, when you will have cheese factories extending from here to Opotiki. The possibilities are very (great.” He hoped that if ever it was his pleasure to return to Poverty Bay, it would be to open a j cheese factory at Tahora. 1
