ANGLER'S 31ST VISIT.

ARRIVAL FROM ENGLAND,;

BRITISH SALMONS SUPERIORITY.

Mr. J. G. Buckingham, a retired British Army officer, who is well-known in New Zealand as/a fisherman, arrived by the Maheno yesterday on his 31st visit to the Dominion. He said that he had not yet made definite plftns regarding angling or deepsea fishing on his present trip, but he expected to "have another go"- at the big fish' before long. Discussing the attractions of New Zealand for overseas visitors, Mr. Buckingham said that it was' unfortunate that the British salmon, salmo salar, could not be acclimatised in our rivers. It provided in Scotland the finest angling in the world, bub that was open only to a few wealthy people who had control of the waters.

CONDITIONS IN CHINA.

NO PROSPECT OF STABILITY.

BRITISH RESIDENT'S VIEWS.

Stability *>! government has not yet been achieved in China, according to Mr. 3D, Ferguson* & Scotsman, who, after spending many years in that country, arrived at Auckland by the Maheno yesterday with the ?idea of taking up his residence in the .Dominion. "The present Government is going oat very soon; there is no doubt of that," he said. This would mean a return to civil war. "I cannot Dee China settled down for a great many years to come," Mr. Ferguson added. y He thought it impossible to 'unify a country containing over 400,000,000 people, where the dialects and customs varied so greatly that people in the north could'not understand what those from the south were talking about.,
