Steffan, the Maryborough deerstalking guide, who it will be remembered was fortunate to gain the reward offered for the recovery of the body of the late Mr J. 0. Andrew, when that gentleman lost his life in the ranges, leaves on a trip to Europe on Saturday. Steffan, who is Tyrolese by birth, is of opinion that there is no deer country in the world like the Wairarapa, and he is certain, if the truth waa known about the fine heads to bo obtained around Martinborough, a percentage of those people who visit certain parts of Europe eaoh season would visit tbe colony. He has not quite decided whether he will return to New Zealand.
