Death at Rarotonga.
From Our Own Correspondent.
Rarotonga, June 15.
MR. ALEX BARRON, the proprietor of Hotel Rarotonga, passed away on May 21, after a short illness.
Mr. Barron had a charming personal ity and his likeable nature made for him numerous friends.
In the realm of sport he figured prom inently at cricket, but more recently devoted his entire leisure time to bowls and to the care of the club’s green and grounds.
To the bowling club he rendered conspicuous service, inasmuch as he worked with a singleness of purpose towards making its green the finest in the Pacific Islands.
The esteem in which Mr. Barron was held was shown by the large number of Europeans and natives who attended the funeral.
