Salvation Army, Temuka.— The _ Salvation Army at Temuka held a picnic in the park yesterday, which, if not very largely attended, proved very enjoyable. The local officers, together with the soldiers, worked hard to make it a success, and there was no lack of games for both young and old. The picnic lasted until about 7 o’clock, after which the usual meeting was held in the barracks. Brandino New Zealand Meat. The London correspondent of the Otago Daily Times writes Last Tuesday a party consisting of Mr Overton, Mr 11. C. Cameron (New” Zealand Produce Commissioner), Mr Inglis (New Zealand Farmers' Association), and several press representatives visited the C. 0. and D. Company’s cold stores at Nelson’s wharf, to inspect the new brand mentioned by mo last week. Everyone agreed that, as a brand, nothing could be neater or clearer —assuming that branding is advisable. As to this the authorities present were strongly of opinion that a brand of any sort would destory the host of the .Now Zealand trade. Certain suggestions were made, one of the most important being that that the date should not be placed on the carcase, as in this instance, though there can be no objection to placing it on the tab attached to the leg. Attempts were made to erase the brand, but failed, and I was informed that it was apparent even after a joint had been cooked. The meat was in excellent condition, and was from the Gear Meat Company. After inspecting the brand’ the party were courteously conducted around the works, which are of the most complete description. Considerable interest was shown in a large consignment of New Zealand beef and mutton which was being sent away to provision the troopprs f&r the Cape. From one of the leading officials I learned that large quantities both of New Zealand and Australian meat had been ordered for this purpose, for the ships leaving London and Southampton, but that the Liverpool troopers had been provisioned with A.rg en tm° meat.
