parity for pleasure, but principally to “inquire within.’’ iji tile matter of the handling and distribution here of New Zealand's chief exports to the Old Country. Mr Buxton has spent a busy fortnight in London in pursuit of his main object, and expects to remain in -.he metropolis about a month in all. .Mr and Mrs H. R. Jenkins, of Eltbain, left the Otway at Naples and came on via Par’d to London last week. They intend touring Great Britain by motor car, and are going to the Argentine about August: from there by rail to Chili, and by boat to California, calling nt Panama and Los Angelos, and travelling through the United States and Canada by rail before returning to England for a motor tour through Europe.
