There is now increased motor traffic between Whangamomona and Ohura,*the Tangarakau Gorge at this season of the year attracting a large number of visitors (says the Stratford Post). The regular motor tourist service as far as Taumarunui is well supported, and this in itself gives greater prominence to the claims of the district. It is hoped before long that a regular all-the-year service will be possible.

A tribute to the wholesome quality of New Zealand meals was paid by Dr. Francis P. Emerson, of Harvard University, who has been attending the medical conference at Auckland. “What impressed us Americans,” he said, “is the fact that you can go all over New Zealand with the assurance of having a good wholesome meal, no matter how small the township may be. You can always get good mutton, beef and eggs, while your desserts are wholesome, nourishing, and not made of fancy pastry.” In America, he added, the automobile had brought the country into such proximity with the cities, that travellers seldom needed to patronise the small town hotel, and the consequence was that meals in country accommodation houses were often carelessly prepared, and scarcely fit to recommend to one’s friends.

The pigs exhibited at the recent Taranaki A. and P. show by Messrs. Cornwall and Grover will be amongst those to be sold. See advertisement for further details.

Mr. H. C. Sampson’s “Woodlands” Jersey herd, well-known amongst breeders for production, constitution and type, is to be submitted to auction at the showgrounds, New Plymouth,, on June 5. By careful selection this herd has been built up on the very best lined, and the “Woodlands” heifers now under semi-official test are giving wonderful returns. Elsewhere a preliminary advertisement gives further particulars of sale.
