Two Indian rajahs, accompanied by two other Indian gentlemen of rank and. a retinue of servants, have arrived in Sydney. The rajahs are striking figures, young men full of vigour, and of charming personality. They state they have come to Australia for a few months’ rest and to take a look round. They hope to •get some games of polo, for which sport they are liberally equipped. . The Empire Mail describes a remarkably effective window display in tho High Commissioner’s office in the Strand, London, which drew the attention of thousands of people to New Zealand products. On the left was a large “Imperial Bee, Esq.,” figure which smiled at the public as it turned its head to the front and lifted up different cards acclaiming the virtues of New Zea-, land honey. This figure stood upon tho counter of a shop owned by “John Bui, New Zealand’s largest customer.” In the centre, an unfolding panorama of New Zealand dairy scenes was continuous, and in front of it a mechanical cow turned lazily to the people, opened its mouth and “moo-ed” and whisked its tail. On the right ships sailed round the’world from New Zealand to Britain, and above their track a band of words stating that 8,000,000 carcases of New Zealand mutton and lamb camo annually in “this way to England. In front were wax replicas of New Zealand lamb careases. Appropriate wording on neat cards was displayed in different •places in the window, the idea being that the mechanical movement should attract, and that people would then read the facts set out regarding New Zealand produce. , .
