OBITUARY.

Mr D. R. Kemp.

Kef erring to the recent sudden death, which occurred in London, of Mr D. 11. Kemp, manager and colonial superintendent of Messrs Dalgety and Co., an Anglo-colonial journal says :—" A man of sound commercial training and ot rare business ability, he was well-known and highly-respected in both City and Anglocolonial circles in London, and his unexpected death at the early age of fiftyeight will come as a surprise to his numerous friends. Quiet and unassuming in manner, his kindness of heart and generous disposition made him a great favourite, and none will miss his cheery presence more than his old friend and chief, Mr E. T. Doxat. Mr Kemp was formerly secretary of the Union Bank of Scotland, at Edinburgh, and resigned that position some ten years ago on being asked to undertake the management ot this old-established Australian company. Hβ was a justice of the peace, and a member of a number of societies, including the Eoyal Colonial Institute and the Australian Chamber of Commerce in London. His loss will be deeply felt." The remains of the de-ceased-gentleman were taken to Edinburgh for interment.
