WORKS, GRAFTON TERRACE. “It is interesting to note that nearly all the senior British officers agree that the Australians were absolutely the finest troops the war produced,” said Lieutenant - General Sir Talbot-Hobbs, successor to Lieu-tenant-General Monash in the command of the Australian Corps, in the course of a recent interview in London. “Colonel Younghusband, the celebrated Indian explorer, in lecturing to our boys, said that British generals regarded the Australian ' Corps as the finest fighting machine the world had ever seen. Coming from a man in an exceptional position to gathei’ information, this statement is of more than ordinary value. I, for one, am prepared to believe that it is justified, for they have achieved the ‘impossible’ on many occasions. Indeed, it has at times become apparent that, had the difficulties been realised, some of our successful attacks would never have been attempted.” • • « * In regard to red deer, the annual report of the Otago Acclimatisation Society, says: Thirty-five stalkers visted the Hunter Valley and Maka rora this season (1919). Weather conditions were good, but the inclement winter and late spring rendered the season late, and was not conducive to production of good heads. Notwithstanding this, some fine heads were obtained, the best being probably Mr. Mcßride’s 14-pointer, measuring 43 inches in length, with a spread of 42 inches, shot on Cameron’s Creek block, and Mr. Dunning’s 16-pointer from the Makarora. As to fallow deer, 16 stalkers visited the Blue Mountain district this season, but no information has yet been received as to what was seen in the way of heads.
