BROTHERS’ MEETING
OLDEST AND YOUNGEST OF FAMII.Y OF EIGHT FIRST IN THEIR LIVES [ Ter Press Association.] WELLINGTON, Aug. 29. “As far as I know my brother has never seen me and I have certainly never seen him to my conscious knowledge,” said Dr. Alan Tennent, brother of Mr. L. C. Tennent, referred to in a Melbourne cablegram which stated that Mr. L. C. Tennent, who is on the way to New Zealand, would meet his brother for the first time. Dr. Tennent explained that the reason why they have not met is that he believes he was not born when his brother, who is the oldest member ot a family of five sons and three daughters, left for South Africa. Dr. Tennent is the youngest of the sons. Dr. Tennent, however, has met nis brother’s wife, for she happened to be in England when Dr. Tennent was there 11 years ago. Mr. L. C. Tennent has not been back to New Zealand since he left Timaru, where the Tennent family was then living, to go to the Boer War. Mr. L. C. Tennent was later joined in South Africa by two other brothers, Mr. H. D. Tennent, now of Dunedin, and Mr. H. C. Tennent, now of Honolulu. The other brother is Mr. K. B. Tennent, Auckland.
