A novel and altogether delightful tour has just been completed by two Rongomai ladies, says the Eketahuna Express. Miss Salmon accompanied by Mis Marjorie Matheson, started out on a journey of 500 miles on horseback. Leaving Rongomai they struck across the Ballance Bridge and through the Pohangina Valley, coming out at Taihape. From there they proceeded to Waitomo and returned by way of Lake Taupe, making many detours from the recognised track and thus seeing much of the inner country through which they travelled. Miss Salmon has done much long distance riding in Africa, and both ladies thoroughly understand the care of horses, otherwise such a ride could not have been accomplished.
Mr J. McCarthy, formerly of Makuri, has disposed of his lease of the Masonic Hotel, Dannevirke.
