He is taking the opportunitv of a trip Home to present 30 of his sheep to Dr. Barnado’s home. This is not the first instance of Mr Chaytor’s practical generosity.

Mr Harry Hobbs has been singing successfully this week at the smokers of the London Australasian Clubs and Pickwick Club.

Mr Duncan Cameron, of Ashburton, who came Home by the Gothic with his wife and daughters in July last, and after spending a few weeks in the Metropolis went North to visit friends in Yorkshire and Scotland, returned to London last week and for the time being is in residence at the Hotel Metropole. After a very pleasant Highland tour Mr and Mrs Duncan made their way South, paying brief visits to Birmingham, Cheltenham, where their daughters are at college, and thence going to Somerset. Devon. Cornwall, and Hampshire, whence they came on to London. They were favoured with brilliantly fine weather almost throughout their wanderings and consequently enjoyed themselves greatly. Mr Cameron intends to remain in town until November 23rd. when he and Mrs Cameron embark for Port Said by the P. and O. steamer Shannon. They spend a week in Cairo and then continue their homeward voyage in the Himalaya as far as Melbourne. They intend to spend a few days in the Victorian capital and in Sydney before crossing to the colony, which Mr Cameron hopes to reach before harvesting operations are in full swing. The Misses Cameron remain in England for a couple of years to compfete their education.
