Fisher is one of the three :alndidates in the fiefld for the Hornsey Parliamentary seat which has become racant through the death of Mr. Kennedy a well-known figure in the world of iournalists. The New Zealaflder is the ilected candidate of the Anti : Waste [ieague. The contest will be three:ornered, for the Unionists have chosen Lord Ednam, M.0., son of the Earl of Dudley, who is'making his first attemfl o enter Parliament; and the Independent jiborals have adopted Mr. E.

' The many friends in New Zealand of Jishop Neligan will learn with regret that A f ome months ago he eiperience'd a second ■ leisure which has, incapacitated him from vork in his'northern farish as Rector of ?ord r Northumberland. With Mir NeU;an he is at Scarborough, the bracing ajd «autifiil resort on the Yorkshire coast, yhich, on his return from New' Zealand ame years ago, did much to restore him o health. The change there and. the nedical treatment are again proving beneicial. Bishop Neligan likes to see friends. of former days in v New Zealand, for ho itill entertabs many pleasant recollections ■>l his life in. the Dominion. Until the :nd of the year, at any rate, he'will remain at Scarborough,, and then he hopca Lo be well enough to travel south. Mrs. Parry and.her little.girl have gone to Scarborough, for a short stay with her parents. Miss Helen Neligan, the younger daughter, is devoting herself .to farm, work on the glebe, which is part of the Ford Rectory. During the war she took an agricultural .yourse,: and ' since becoming qualified she has be<p'very successful with her cows, pigs, and poultry. As the rectory is very capacious, Miss Neligan now thinks it would be a good idea to take a . few students in agricultural .subjects. Mr'.' and Mrs.. Georgo "Knowjes, (nee Miss B. Dormer Maunder) have acquired the historic French chateau of Clos St.' Victor, and, they purpose making this their home. "The chateau dates'from the reign of Louis 'XJ;; and was one of hiS g 'avourite resorts, but.the ivas restored and rebuilt some time in the , IBth-19th century, so that now its-ap-searance is much more modern, but tfto,.<>;;.„,.',.
